Seriously, what the hell is this?

Last night I was idly flipping channels (idle eyes watch the devil's television) and came across something that I've been hearing about, but I don't think I truly believed until I saw it with my own two eyes:

My Super Sweet Sixteen.

I'm sure I could rant ad infinitum about these spoiled, bratty, entitled kids, but I'm sure it's all been said before, so instead I'll wonder: These kids are from obviously very wealthy families, so how in the hell did these families manage to amass and maintain such wealth with such fucked-up financial priorities?

That said, it may still go on the Guilty Pleasure list, because it makes me feel deep in comparison. Wow, I really am shallow.

A company I worked with last year sells high end plasma screen TV's. 60 inches and up. At one point a company had one ordered special without the wall mounting brackets because it was going in the back of a Barbie pink Hummer that was going to be a girls sweet 16 present....

What was the dude thinking? I'm not a father, but if I were, anything my teenaged daughter would be doing while watching a big TV in the back of a Hummer is something I wouldn't want done.

He was probably thinking it gets her out of his house faster. Heh.
