on the real

i think of 100 good things to write about whenever i'm not at my computer, usually when i'm driving by myself.

in reality, i only write about whatever good thing i can think of when i think it's about time that i post something new.

i'm gonna pick on a very small detail of one very popular reality show:

usually for a contestant that has just been eliminated from a reality show contest, they're given a very simple question and pretty much all of the contestants i've seen say the same, pointless, cliche-ass answer.

question: "is this the last we'll see of (insert contestant's name here)"

pointless cliche-ass answer: "no, this is, by no means, the last of (insert contestant's name here), we have come too far, and worked too hard blah blah blah pointless commentary keeps on going"

why am i picking on this? because in america's best dance crew, every one of those eliminated contestants were given a golden opportunity to say something very powerful for the dance community. just as an example, one crew, upon exiting could've said:

"YES, this is probably the last you will see of (insert dance crew) if you're only idea of hip hop competition is this tv show. but if you know that the hip hop dance culture is more than just this tv show, then you know that this isn't the last of (said dance crew)"

that's prolly more liberal and anti-mtv than it needs to be, but it can be adjusted.

yes yes yes i know that most contestants shouldn't even be thinking about this question or what their answer is going to be, but you have to admit that it would be pretty pimp if one of them said that.
