^Hahahahahaha.
This article is brilliant (you should read it) and puts a very realistic POV on the show. They explain how the show is marketed as "a high-stakes drama about the 'elite of the elite'" but how it is actually "a comedy about the silliness of the rich"...so true. I love how they explain the way the girls speak, "a hybrid of Valley-Girl-speak and East Coast boarding school lockjaw, meant to communicate that a person in blasé, unconcerned, cooler than you". Personally, my favorite part was when they discussed how Kelli and this other chick are no longer friends because one of them didn't invite the other to their birthday. The article goes on to discuss the "Real Housewives" shows, and it really is just genius. Everything they say is spot-on, LOL hilarious. They even quote one of Jersey's housewives praising Bernie Madoff in saying that although "his country shit on him, he still loves his country, and that shows character." Are you kidding? We showed him mercy, he's lucky he's still living. I'm convinced more and more that all of these people might actually be mentally retarded. Later it lays out the Peterson legacy (PC's family), which includes a former CEO of Lehman Brothers, along with the founder of Sesame Street. They say "he feels humiliated, degraded, and hurt by the show." Awwww, poor PC.
