much respect...
maxx5...no disrespect taken. *smile*
that is exactly my point...the brotha was annoying true enough...but instead of pointing out that...dag this dude is annoying...folx tried to go for the jugular to cut away at his manhood. that is not right. that is the part that really bugged me about the exchange about Segun.
there are a couple of things that we have to realize. the show is not live...it is cut and edited to suit the needs of Bunim/Murray. for the most part they are filmed 24/7 and as we all know our lives are not exciting day in and day out...and neither are theirs. the shows are cut to portray people as characters. for the most part people play up to that...with some exceptions (heather b. comes to mind).
so far Bunim/Murray have done an excellent job in accentuating the negative and down playing the positive. they have also played to peoples own taboo's and stereotypes. you don't think them shooting Segun being concerned with his looks one day...and him talking about homosexuality the next was coincidence? nah...he was set up to be a characature. and everyone fell for it.
its just something to think about.
oh and about talent. hmmm...i do agree that there are some talented people on there...but the reality is that most of those people got the jobs they are in because of the real world not in spite of. kevin and heather b. are two people who were doing their thing before and after the show.
peace
