via @TheOnion - In The Know: Are Reality Shows Setting Unrealistic Standards For Skanks?
I'm Julianna McKannis
sitting in for Clifford Bains
who is regaling the interns
with tails of his days at sea.
Reality shows like "Flavor of Love"
and "Rock of Love"
are more popular than ever.
But a new study by
the American Media Institute
suggests that these shows
may be setting unrealistic levels
of skankiness for our
nation's skanks.
Yes, every night skanks across America
are watching reality TV skanks
hanging off of stripper poles,
and vomiting into hot tubs.
Oh, look. The average skank can't
keep up with that.
And statistics show that only
2% of skanks will ever even ride
in a stretch Hummer limo,
let alone pass out in one.
These shows are not negative,
they are empowering.
Oh, come on!
- Absolutely.
They are. They teach young skanks
that if they really try,
someday they can take a crap
on the floor of a beautiful mansion.
Marley, these shows are basically
teaching a skank to believe,
I have to drink J?§germeister shots
out of another skank's
infected double pierced
belly button,
or I'm not good enough.
- Well, if these show-
If these shows make
skanks feel bad,
then skanks can change
the channel.
Now Lesly, you've written about
your own experiences as a skank,
isn't that right?
- Yes.
You used to be a skank?
- Yes.
When I would turn on the TV
and see a skank on a dirt bike
in a tube top, mini skirt,
no underwear,
trying to win an exclusive date
with a C-list celebrity
who wouldn't even remember
her name, it hurt,
because I knew that I could never reach
that level of skankiness myself.
Some say one of the more damaging
aspects of these shows
is that they teach skanks
to talk shit about other skanks.
To call each other fake,
to steal each other's leather boots.
Spit in each other's faces like Punkin
did when New York called her a
motherf#*king whore.
- Yeah, skanks need to learn
to support each other.
Because they baby daddies ain't gonna stick
around after the baby's been born.
Well, then it shows that the FCC
should cut off all shows that
pit skank against skank.
All contests gone.
Look, Lesly, I know she had a
bad experience, but come on.
What? What? You don't know me.
Don't act like you do.
Step off, Lesly.
- What?
Step off, bitch.
What did you call me?
- Hold on, she called you a hoe.
What are you gonna do about it? Step up.
- She just called you out.
You don't disrespect me.
- You hoe.
You a hoe.
- You a hoe.
