Music Hellevision mocks MTV’s new show, Trippin’:
Are we supposed to be laughing and enjoying the show with Ms. Diaz? Or enjoying laughing at her? It’s difficult to know really, given lines like this from Drew Barrymore:
‘I took a poo in the woods hunched over like an animal. It was awesome.’Somehow you just know there was a cameraman out there as well, we’ll be seeing a slight variation (for a decidedly more specialist market) of the Paris Hilton tape quite soon no doubt.
They enjoyed the benefit of advice during filming from the World Wildlife Fund and the Natural Resources Defense Council so there’s really no excuse for things like this, talking of Bhutan:
‘[The] only country in the world where forest cover is increasing.’Which is I am sure something of a surprise to those in the US, where such cover has been increasing since 1920, also to those of us in the UK where we know very well that there has been an increase since 1940. A lot of very nice Germans took photos of the place for us and handed them over in 1945, that’s how we know. This is also a bit of a stunner:
‘My favorite thing about Bhutan is they measure their country’s wealth, not based on dollar amount but on gross national happiness?’I think this means they don’t have MTV or maybe it’s the more usual shortage of self-obsessed actresses, your call on that, really. This is a slight misnomer:
‘Nothing goes to waste. It is beautiful. It is inspiring…It is incredible to see how in tune these people are with the environment; they are completely self-sufficient’No dear, when nothing goes to waste you are not seeing self-sufficiency, you are seeing poverty. Nothing is wasted because if it is, someone dies. That’s what it means, destitution, that you are one or two meals, a handful of dried cow dung to cook with away from starvation.
