I have an observation about this whole Promise ring fiasco...ive never
really watched the Real World or this one inparticular but I have one thing
to mention.....How can u be sure that the members of the show picked these
songs? Couldnt it be true also that people behind the scenes in their
marketing department picked these songs to appeal to the so-called
"twentysomething college-age demographic"....they figure that by including
what they probably perceive as college music would appeal to those who watch
the show and would hence buy the CD. I know its MTV and if they really
wanted to sell records they would have at least included 98 degrees, blink
182, and some fairly new rap/rock combo....papa roach perhaps....
But I am sure these people behind the scenes picked these songs, why else
would "Deep South" be included in an episode taking place in New
Orleans....guess it kinda makes sense......how much do u wanna bet that if
the said show was taking place up in New England they would have included
"Pink Chimneys" just to seem clever or whatever......just an idea to ponder!
JS
The show is probably scripted and anything these people say have probably
had to go through for someones approval so they assign them bands and give
them dialogue to say to make it appear as if these people picked these songs
so kids can be like, wow so and so picked this song becuase he/she likes it
and they are hot so it must be kewl to like them also......
-"like Im supposed to be interested in what she is saying becuase she is
like wearing a backpack...."
