Rich Girls on MTV...

[Damaramu 0]

Ok I haven't actually seen this show yet but I've heard from my friends that these girls are fucking stuck up annoying bitches. And also that there is a guy on the show that actually CRIES because he has to ride a bus with normal people. Then he says that he can buy all there families...yeah fucker and I can put on a ski mask and beat you half to death with a crowbar and you can't do shit about it. Remember...the poorer you are...the tougher you are.

This show also led me to thinking...if I was a billionaire...I would have a big house(not a mansion...just a big house...i hate mansions) and driver a Ferrari. I would also wear very expensive clothing and basically act like a rich man(i'd probably donate to charity a lot though...because really...what am I going to do with all that money?)

However...my kids would learn to live like NORMAL people. I would buy there clothes at Sears, JC Penny, and Wal-Mart. I would buy them an old Cavalier from some guy in the paper for there 16th birthday. They'd get 20 bucks a week for allowance and have to get a REAL job when they turned 16. Oh and they'd go to public school(if the education is right...i'd probably donate enough money to make all the schools in the district good schools) and you know...be forced to learn how to live like a normal person and take care of themselves. And then maybe they could build there fortune. And if I see them building it or at least acting like responsible people then I'd leave all of my money to them when I died. If they didn't and just cut off ties with me and acted like a scorned bastard...then I'd give all my money to charity when I died....

Anyways...discuss the bitches on the show...and what you'd do if you were rich.

I really don't get the point of this show. I understand that Cribs and The Fabulous Life of (insert celebrity) do well. But people care about those shows, because people care about those being featured first and foremost. I don't give a flying fuck what some little spoiled brat does to get ready for her weekend or whatever.

 

And I agree on making my kids be normal. I wouldn't quite go Wal-Mart style, because what is the point of being that successful if you aren't going to be generous to your family. But there would be no conversations like

"I'm bored can I have the credit card"

"Sure honey"

"Here is the $5000 receipt"

"Awww, you did good saving this weekend hon"

[Damaramu 0]

Yeah....I hate them almost as much as I hate the Hilton sisters....what is the fucking point of being famous because your parents are rich? It make no fucking sense. Shouldn't your parents be famous? God...stupid kids getting by on other peoples work. This is almost as bad as those damn Osbourne kids riding there dad's coat tails.

Oh and....is one of them Tommy Hilfiger's daughter? Who's the other one?

[the pinjockey 0]

One of them is a Hilfiger, no idea on the other one.

 

And I despise the Hilton sisters. Of course they do provide me amusement when people are on TV fawning all over how beautiful the sisters are. Ahem.....FUCK NO. And the motorcycle incident was GOLD.

[the pinjockey 0]

At least out of the Osbournes one wouldn't even be on the show and Jack seems to be trying to make something of himself with that record label or whatever. So 2 out of 3 ain't bad, with only Kelly being an obnoxious coattail rider.

You’re a rich girl, and you’ve gone too far

’cause you know it don’t matter anyway

You can rely on the old man’s money

You can rely on the old man’s money

It’s a bitch girl but it’s gone too far

’cause you know it don’t matter anyway

Say money but it won’t get you too far

 

As far as if I became rich, I'd pretty much run the standard fare... first, for myself, all I desire is a decent house, decent car and, of course, kickass home entertainment center. Lifetime tickets to my sporting teams of choice would be good too.

 

After that, then all the altruistic shizzle: ensure economic wellbeing of immediate family, donate to charities of choice, establish trust fund for future offspring, etc.

 

As for raising children under wealth, my parents are fairly affluent, but they knew how to raise us right... now I was a bit more spoiled, being the youngest child, but I've learned my lesson over the years, probably a lot better than other spoiled kids, and I'd make sure my kids understood value and all that before giving them any large amounts of money/valuable items

 

And definitely a clunker car when they start driving. Teens + sports cars = bad bad bad

[Damaramu 0]

Oh yeah...and my kids wouldn't have credit cards...BAD IDEA. I mean jesus...I didn't even have a checking account and debit card until I was 18.

 

Oh and back to the show...is anyone else extremely annoyed with them? I haven't even seen the show and I want to murder them from seeing the commercials. I just have this feeling I'd walk up and say "High..." and they'd say "Eww.....you street urchin. Go away before I have you removed! Where's my limo!?" Then I'd probably freak on them. I hope some rich person that is REALLY down to Earth will show up and tell them off.

 

I'd be a nice rich guy to. I'd treat the less forunate nicely. I'd probably build countless homeless shelters and rehabilitation centers. Hell in NYC my mom gave half a sandwich from the Carnegie Deli to a bum on the street. I'd do stuff like that. Maybe even buy the whiskey for them!

The argument for getting a credit card for your kid is twofold... on the one hand, the earlier you get their name on creditors' lists as being good liability, the earlier they can have a good credit line (I didn't get my first CC until I was 20 and on my own..), but, of course, the possibility for your kids to fuck up and fuck up HARD is always there, and we all know how forgiving creditors are.

 

Oh and back to the show...is anyone else extremely annoyed with them?

Huh? TV Show? <looks at thread title> Oh, it's on eMpTyV, no wonder I haven't heard of it. My box is programmed to automatically skip over it when I'm channel surfing.

[the pinjockey 0]

I was flipping around, saw them being driven around in a limo and said fuck that noise.

[Damaramu 0]

Here's my plan if I was extremely rich.

I'd first build some homeless shelters and education centers. Go about curing any addicitions they have and making them educated. Then I'd probably have my own corporation and I'd only give jobs in a certain division to the homeless. Then I'd probably go about cleaning up the inner city with a Private Security force, and start programs to help the kids get better. Oh and donate tons of money to the schools in the area. Then I'd put the homeless to work helping fix the neighborhood and securing the area. They'd of course be WELL paid. Then they aren't homeless anymore and the kids don't have to join gangs or nothing....*sigh* in a perfect world.

Oh and on the show......do they do anything like that with there money? I bet not....

[the pinjockey 0]

All this charity stuff makes me laugh. Watching the Fabulous Life of Puff Daddy, I think it was, they were talking about how he gives X amount (million range?) to charity. Then they talk about how he has a 16 million dollar home in NY that he uses as a giant walk in closet. What a fucking joke? Congratulations for giving about 1% of you income to charity, in front of cameras, in perfect photo op territory.

[Guest El Satanico]

If I was rich you'd all hate me too, so I can't bitch about these people.

 

If I'm worth millions I'm living that life to the fullest...screw the commoners.

 

 

Let me clarify, I wouldn't be a total prick for no reason, but I wouldn't lower myslf in lifestyle just so I don't offend the commoners.

[the pinjockey 0]

I don't think I would hate you for that. I would hate you if you threw a crumb to the peasants then acted like a grand, charitable person.

 

I wouldn't have a problem with Puff's walk in closet if they didn't pull the charity card. And I wouldn't hate anyone who got rich and spent their money. But I would hate their spoiled kids if they never did anything other than live off it. I am lazy as fuck, but even I would realize I need to pull some kind of weight.

[Guest El Satanico]

Well at least they do give to charities. They don't have to you know.

 

Just because it's a small percentage doesn't make it a bad thing.

[the pinjockey 0]

I know it isn't bad that it is just a small percentage. But when they are treated like heroes for giving up the cost of one party they throw a year to charity that is when I have a problem with it. If it was just charity, walk into a homeless shelter, hand them a check, tell them you want to see what happens with the money, then walk out. No photo op, no big hoopla.

[Guest El Satanico]

Well, if any one here would hate the rich me, they could rest easy knowing that I'll end up like Charles Foster Kane when all is said and done.

I'd want the homless shelter named after me, and the street it's located on has well...

[Guest SweetNSexyDiva]

Oh geez. I just watched a small part of Rich Girls and they were talking about losing their virginity on prom night with one of the girl's moms because they were hoping to get laid by their dates. Crazy.

[Guest stardust]

I was flipping through channels the other night and caught like three minutes of it. They were driving around in a limo and shopping for a prom dress with an outrageous price tag. I changed the channel quite quickly after that.

 

As for me, if I were ever rich...geezus. Knowing me I'd probably invest most of it anyway or put it in an IRA I couldn't touch. I would, however, have my parents' dream home built for them, and have a nice home built for myself and my family. And I would have all the photography equipment I needed and wanted. Nice car that doesn't break down every six months (since January, I've had to have my fuel pump replaced, my transmission flushed, my ignition switch replaced, my brake switch replaced, and my starter replaced, plus my transmission is slipping and my front end needs to be realligned, and my car isn't even old). I would give money to schools, but on the stipulation that it be used to fund the arts and not, say, the football team. And no, my kids would not have credit cards, nor would they be spoiled little brats, either. And an indoor pool. That would be awesome.

"Just because we're rich doesn't mean we're not good people!"

Yes but you are stupid people....seriously....does nobody teach them how to live normally?

Maybe we're all just jealous of there millions of dollars.Oh wait it's NOT THERE'S. It's there parents! But I swear if they weren't rich and still acted like that I'd kill them still.

[The Tino Standard 0]

If I were rich, I'd buy a belt featuring dollar signs made out of gold and diamonds as a symbol of how rich I am, wear shiny tuxedos, and hire a bald black guy as my silent bodyguard who counts my money.

 

And to cap it off, I'd strut around offering people money to do humiliating things and as I watched, I'd just have this maniacal laugh. MUAH HA HA HA HA.

 

Wait a second...

[DangerousDamon 0]

if was i was rich and would throw my money around a little. nice car, nice house, and the greatest home entertainment system ever.

 

 

but i would take care of my family first. my mom would get a nice house or a car. my brother and sister would get cars. my father can get.......lifetime U of M TICKETS.

[haVoc 0]

I saw this show yesterday. One of the worst shows ever on MTV and that says alot. Their rich, they swear alot like the Osbournes and they say alot of stupid shit like Jessica Simpson.

 

MTV suits probably saw that and thought "1 + 1 + 1 = ratings. We're genius!!!!!!"

 

Only show worth watching on MTV these days are the Real World/Road Rules challenges and even that isn't that good now.

[Guest TonyJaymzV1]

See I'd make my kids work for the money..not like, work in my company or shit, but go out, apply for a job etc.

 

I never got the big deal with mansions...The house I'm currently livining in is good enough for me, I don't feel like cleaning up an entire mansion, and I'll be damned if I get a maid.

 

Though, I'd have an entire room devoted to my hobbys: Movies and Wrestling and Music.

 

Plus, I'd own this little comic book shop that always on sale around here...and a chinese buffet...

[HarleyQuinn 0]

If I were rich...

 

I'd drive a normal car(I dig the Toyota Camry's myself) since I don't like speed that much(Too unpredictable in terms of control)

 

I'd probably donate to charity since I'm big on helping out the local community

 

I'd buy a slightly bigger home(Not a mansion...too many rooms and just too huge) with a couple rooms devoted to a growing comic collection

 

I'd let my kids indulge on fancy shit but for cars they would get decent ones(Not junk but not Ferraris) and force 'em to earn a living rather then leeching off me and my wife(or ex-wife).

[the pinjockey 0]

Oh, if I were rich I would live the high life. Give me some Ferraris and mansions. But I would give some to charity and wouldn't look for acclaim for it.

 

And my kids I would give them each 2 grand for their first car. If you want better, get a job.

 

But I would spoil the hell out of my parents. Mansions? you got it. Antique cars? you got it. Personal Asian massuse? you got it. Whatever they want.

[NoCalMike 0]

eh, you can't blame them though. They were born into wealth. They come from an entire different world. I mean, that is ALL THEY KNOW. I am not excusing them or saying it is the right attitude, but they are an entire different breed then someone who grew up poor and then became rich and then decided to look down on "where they came from" They are Young & Rich, how else would you expect them to act? With that said, Fuck those bitches

[A Happy Medium 0]

Yeah, the show pretty much sucks. There's nothing very entertaining about watching rich teenaged girls get manicures and then plot out losing their virginity to the "Ryan Phillipes" of their social group.

 

I want to see what happens when they discover a blackhead, and then the three hour struggle for them to eliminate it before they go to their blouse wearing, poodle walking night spot.

[Guest One Trick Pony]

I didn't mind the show. I already knew the premise so I wasn't too appalled. Like NoCalMike said, this is all they know.

 

As for myself if I got rich the only extravagant thing I'd want is a car. A nice SUV with rims and shiny black color. I'd get myself a nice one floor ranch house. A bathroom with a big tub. A living room with a bigger TV (24")than mine(19"??). My bedroom which wouldn't be big at all and a kitchen. I'd give some of it away and I'd make sure my mom and aunt were hooked up with some cash.

Dude...shoot for a bigger TV than that. I live in a middle class home....what they would probably consider dirt poor and I have a 52 inch TV in my living room and a 24 inch in my room.
