This has to be the show that's responsible for causing part of the world to think the US is the great Satan. No, not really, but it sure doesn't help. I mean, we must look really awful to those who watch stuff like this and take it as emblematic of US society.One thing for sure, it is the most mindless and vapid, numbingly stupid garbage I've ever seen, but I have yet to see 'The Hills', it's spin-off. That promises even more, much more, of the same nothingness.Things that ought to be important to anyone with any sense of humanity are absent here. Things that typically are important to those who think of themselves before humanity, such as career and money, are also absent. in fact, the most common denominator of the important life functions in this tripe of programming are in line with what a pre-neanderthal might think of as important, such as who's my next mate and how can I attract him or her.Even pre-neanderthals have one up on these young people, as the former must find their own food and shelter. What kind of life is perpetual childhood, especially perpetual tween childhood? The answer is right here, and it will make you feel ashamed this piece of the 'vast wasteland' is presented by those who've come forth from our own American culture, and seem to lack any understanding of its significance in history.

This show is funny because you pretty much see your own life, even though you are not as rich as the characters are. Even though the "reality-ness" of the show is uncertain, it does not really matter, because, hello!!, it's just a show. It's so funny how many people, who seem to have experienced a lot of rejection during high school, and even until today lol sorry, get annoyed with the show. I mean, fine, the show is fake and just shows lives of seemed to be spoiled rich kids. But I think, the lives and experiences shown in the show are not that out of this world and unvaluable. Many ordinary people experience hooking up with someone or hanging out with friends. I think what viewers have to do when and after they watch every episode is to look at the big picture and see how much fun and true it is. People tend to trap themselves inside this bubble of the stereotypical notion of hating the "rich, spoiled kids". I think it is unfair, especially when they have not really seen a whole episode of the show or even understand what every character portrays. Viewers need to think and be critical of the morals shown in the show, and not be unfair in calling this "trashy".

Okay, Calli and whatever your friends name is, you guys are RIDICULOUS!! Tessa is like the most beautiful girl I have ever seen with the most beautiful smile, and you guys are so pathetically jealous of her it might as well be written on your foreheads!! GROW UP!! The world does not revolve around you! That is one thing your daddys credit card CANT fix! You girls only wish you could possibly one day look HALF as good as Tessa. Tessa, YOU GO GIRL!! I hope you find your guy!! And by the way, this has nothing to do with pity from her being sick. It has to do with how low you two are. "EW, lets leave...EW...EW" I wanted to jump into my TV when you girls said that!! You should feel extremely lucky that you were saying that to Tessa and not me because you probably would have gone flying off that balcony! The show is great, but you girls need a SERIOUS reality check! Oh, and whoever the guy is that just "dumped" jessica, good job on dumping her because she is a complete idiot, but you are such an ASS!! I cant wait for the day a girl TRULY breaks your heart! "Dude, I am SO over it" DUDE America is SO OVER assholes like YOU!!!

This program could be an ingenious strategic weapon, were it created by terrorists to facilitate the eventual disintegration of the moral fabric of America."Laguna Beach" and its ugly sister show, "The Hills" comprise a layer of bile accumulated atop an age of media diarrhea that is severely damaging the values system of a generation of kids. The mere concept of delivering "fabricated reality" to a youth demographic before they are adequately media-literate and intellectually equipped to make such a critical distinction presents a set of truly frightening possibilities...and the fact that it's justified as mindless, harmless fun is arguably the most cynical and insidious part of it.The fallout is that we're going to see a lot of severe depression and a marked lack of ambition in the forthcoming generation, when the crushing blow of reality takes hold - a reality in which their media-fed perceptions of automatic entitlement to celebrity and wealth are challenged.Were I a parent, I would honestly consider putting a content filter on MTV so as to spare my kids the surgery-free frontal lobotomy provided by this type of content. In fact, I would sooner buy my kids subscriptions to the Spice Channel than let them watch this crap.
