The Woefully Real World

So what happens when you put seven strangers in a house? Mostly a lot of boring stuff, but the recent installment of MTV's The Real World took place in Sydney and, well, it's not been going very well so far. I'm watching only because I've been to Sydney. But I think I might have to be done.

One of the house mates went on a little "take some English lessons" rant, upset at the fact that she wasn't given a free sample of a McSomething: "I'm like, you know what, keep the money, maybe take some English lessons - I'm leaving cause you don't know how to speak English."

Her manager said the words were taken out of context, edited so heavily as the show is. Let's see. Maybe she actually said, "I'm like, you know what, please don't keep the money, your vocabulary is better than mine, where can I take some English lessons - I'm leaving cause I don't know how to speak English as well as you do."

I watched the episode, winced at her ignorance, and wished she weren't from California. The New South Wales Anti-Discrimination Board is on the case.
