Apalling! The girl, (yes they are still girls, inspite of how they and their parents view them) Alison, wanted to close a busy street for her entrance parade. The street included a hospital, and she said that any emergencies could "wait a minute" for her! Now how self-centered is that!? But you know what, they closed part of the street for her! Now, not only are her parents ridiculously indulgent, but the entire city of Atlanta is too! Just another example of how money talks. No jealousy here, just a nurse practitioner disgusted by a spoiled brat. And just when I thought my stomach virus was getting better!

The only scenario more fitting than that would be a head-on collision with "daaaddddeeeee!!!" (or whoever bought said "princess" said automoblie) at 70 mph, with no survivors and no other people involved. These people (both parents and kids) are the lowest of the low, the scum of the earth and the epitome of what is wrong with unchecked materialism. The girls think that their parents' success entitles them to absolutely everything that the world has to offer, without ever having worked for anything a day in their lives. They will most likely never appreciate the day to day struggles that most people endure and will walk through life with that sickening sense of entitlement that makes most of us cringe when watching this show. The parents are even worse, because they are adults, and have indulged their daughters to the point that they have become these shallow, worthless, empty shells of human beings at the ripe old age of 15. Great lesson, mom and dad, money = happiness, and parties are all about outdoing the neighbors and excluding other people. The money buys happiness myth has been disproven so many times that it doesn't even warrant mentioning a specific example- insert most child stars or "misunderstood" musicians here. I can't wait until one of these over-indulgent fathers loses everything he has in some financial scandal, thereby forcing "Missy" or "Chastity" to learn the hard way that money is not an absolute in this life. MTV should have a follow up show in 10 years. Here's hoping that by 2016, the typical self-proclaimed "celebrity" from this show in has either wised up and become an actual genuine person, or is selling her body for her next heroin fix or OD'd on sleeping pills. Karma can be a bitch.

My fiance works in reality tv, I've seen a lot of unedited footage. They don't have to use a lot of tricks to make these girls look bad, they really ARE that bad, or at least close to it. Don't worry, everyone, those girls will almost certainly wreck those cars as soon as the cameras have packed up and left. If we're lucky, they'll learn something from totalling that car (but probably not). On the contrary, A:ex, that stuff is REAL. My fiance works in reality tv, I’ve seen a lot of unedited footage.

They don't age well. The whining is hard to take. It's difficult to take someone seriously that is whining about not being able to do their online banking. You can check your balance by phone, for crying out loud! It's hard to believe that we went through the whole women's lib thing only to have these grown up infants throwing tantrums their whole lives.

Parents that think that their princesses (boys and girls) all need to drive cars that 95% of normal folks can't afford as a sign of affluence? I think I want to be a financial advisor for these folks, because I think they can't care if they lose $100K a year on bad investments (or embezzlement). I grow weary watching that show, and I lament that the world is not the place I thought it was. --C8j I have no concept of how the world has become this type of place.
