Oh VH1, why have you done this to me?
At first, I was just slightly embarrassed to watch you. Back then, it was because your videos were skewed toward an older demographic and I was ashamed that I liked the "old" videos. (For those of you under 30, there was a time when MTV and VH1 played actual music videos. Weird, huh?)
Then came slightly more embarrassment as I spent more time on VH1, not watching great fare like Pop-Up Video (Why isn't it on anymore? Why?) but trash like Rock of Love. And Celebrity Rehab (I tried to convince Hot Guy that Celebrity Rehab has a redeeming social value. Too bad he pointed out that I hadn't even convinced myself. Oh well). And I have a crush on Confessions of a Teen Idol.
But I'm drawing the line. Right here. Right now.
I am NOT going to watch TOOL ACADEMY.
Let me just repeat that: TOOL ACADEMY. And Bret Michaels isn't even on it.
Essentially, nine douchebags (aka the Tools) are supposed to become nice guys. Their girlfriends are along for the ride, but they might dump the guys if they get expelled.
WTF?
I'm pretty sure that any guy who deserves to be nominated for Tool Academy also deserves to be dumped. Maybe they should call it "So-Desperate-For-A-Boyfriend-They'll-Put-Up-With-Anything Academy"? Or (and I really hope this is the case) "Couples-That-Want-To-Be-On-TV Academy"?
I watched a few minutes of it. I pray that this show is simply employing out of work Shakespearean actors to portray these Tools and their women (Toolettes?) and that these are not, in fact, actual human beings.
