True Life

So, I'm watching MTV's "True Life" series last night. You know, it follows some people around who think they're pretty sweet and then we watch them and feel bad for them because they're not quite as sweet as they think we are.

And then, sometimes they do something that makes us cringe. Like last night.

So, this one chick is the director of a play and she has a crush on the guy she tabbed to be the leading man. He is giving her all the signs that he's not interested, but she is not taking the hint. Even her friends are no help, such as this advice she was given,

"Do you want to be a few years from now, hey, that would have been kind of cool just have asked"

Ummmm...no. But anyhoo, this caused her to ask him out. Here's how it happened. She asked him to walk to play practice with her...

Director Chick: The reason I wanted you to walk with me today is because, I don't know how to put this exactly, but I kinda like you. I was wondering if you wanted to go get dinner or hang out sometime or something.
Patrick: casts a sideways glance at the camera, realizes if he says anything but yes, he's going to look like a complete a-hole on TV
Patrick: shrugs his shoulders
Patrick: Sure.
Director Chick: Really?
Patrick: Why not?
Director Chick: Okay. It sounds like fun then.
Patrick: can't believe she did that on TV and keeps shaking his head and turning red

So far, this is the pivotal point of TV in 2008. Thank you MTV.
