My Super Sweet 16

The other day I was unwinding from a long day at school. Ever had one of those days where you're too tired to do much else except turn on the television and watch whatever channel the television was last set to? The channel was MTV; the show: My Super Sweet 16. After 10 minutes of this stuff, I turned to my roommate and said, "John, if any of my kids ever turn out that way I hereby give you permission to break into my house in the middle of the night and beat me to death with a pool cue."

I'm serious.

God, I hate that show.

No, really. Do NOT try this at home.
