Having MTV at home is a great way to become a better person. I'll explain myself.

"The princes of Malibu", "My sweet sixteen", "The real OC", "The Osbournes", "Hogan knows best" and so on, are all programs every 14+ years old should watch.

It basically shows how is like to be a real person, but with extremely rich parents/relatives. And how that affects your life. There is basically no way you can turn out to be a normal decent person in such situation...

The good thing is that if you are watching these programs whilst deciding what are your targets for your life, then you are on the right track: you end up realising that being rich _sucks_.

And I am also starting to think that it shows how rotten can the "American dream" become. If you become a decent super-rich influential person that can get to talk to important people and have a voice, then fine. If you end up imprisoned in a huge Malibu house, disconnected from the world, with occasional outgoings to super-posh social events with other "prisoners", then you know what I am saying.
