i love my mtv

I was a little irritated when I flipped through my guide yesterday to confirm my Sunday night recordings (you’d think I didn’t trust the series manager on my dvr or something) only to discover that Desperate Housewives wasn’t on because instead they were showing an Oprah made for tv movie. what a rip off. Not to knock Oprah, i love her and I’m sure the movie was fabulous (I recorded it so if I ever get around to watching it I’ll comment further), but I really needed a DH fix since it wasn’t on last week either cuz of the Oscars. sigh. I did however get a whole hour of Arrested Development though, so that was a plus. The writers of that show are absolutely ingenious and if you don’t watch that show you are missing out. Last nite was the return of Elaine as Maggie Lizer, “love interest” of Jason Bateman, who pretended to be pregnant, after pretending to be blind the last time she was on the show. Love it.

There’s this show on mtv called ego trip’s race-o-rama. I was flipping through the guide and put it on for no reason other than the fact that the name of the show cracked me up. turns out the show is about interracial love/dating/sex. or maybe that’s just what this particular episode was about, who knows. they did this one segment called “Taste My Race” where they had this “underground rap legend” named Kool Keith Key come out and sit in a chair with a blindfold on while three different girls come out to give him a lap dance and he has to guess the ethnicity of each girl based on the lap dance. classic. (he guessed all three correctly in case you were curious) but I think my favorite segment has to be the one called “Mingle Fever” where they talk about black men having a thing for white women and white men having a thing for asian women, making asian men and black women the least married people in the US. they then suggest creating a zoo for the asian men and black women to breed. haha. i love mtv.

And speaking of mtv, I never saw Laguna Beach, but clearly I am going to have to start watching when the new season starts this fall since freddy and evan speak so highly of it. this Stephen kid better be as hot as you claim he is.
