Did anyone else notice that everyone on that trainwreck new MTV show about hair gel and tanning is from New York, not New Jersey?

Leave my state alone, New York elitists.

My boyfriend and many good friends are from Jersey, and they look and act nothing like those Jersey Shore fools.   But we all know that MTV is pretty much controlled by NYC-transplants - people from wherever else, committed to whatever stereotype they grew up with, and now have a pretty huge forum.  I’m sure most all of us know someone from New Jersey.  And I’m most all of us have met someone who works for Viacom/vh1/MTV.  *ahem*

Sometimes...

… as I’m perusing the tumblrs I follow, I get a little fed up.  There are so many overly precious (although beautiful, yes - I will give you that) photos that I can’t help but think the women (or men) that post them are part of a problem.  An overwhelming and steadfast problem where this country still objectifies girls - and no, not va va voom women, not sexually-charged females, nothing actually risque - I’m talking about pale, thin “girls” with small little boobs in gossamer, floaty tutus, running through a meadow like a fairy high on oxycontin.  Sometimes they have paper dolls in their hands, sometimes have their skirts pulled up to their waists to reveal old-fashioned eyelet-laced bloomers.

Well, quite frankly, I’m fucking sick of it.
