MTV's I want a famous face...

[matty c]

...has got to be the most disturbing show EVAR!! Just seeing peopleget soo caught up in letting society run all over them, and how they have to be perfect like the stars is ridiculous and depressing. Not to mention the episode where the dood wanted to be j lo...com'mon where does it end and could it get any worse????

Ohmygosh, I was just going to start a thread about the same thing! That show is so disturbing! I mean to really feel that you would have physical surgery done to your body in order to look like someone else is so.. so.... beyond belief. Those poor people who have such low self-esteem that they feel the need to do these things to themselves is mind boggling, and that they would allow themselves to be exploited on national television, the show is just sick! Is it all about the money? That other people would exploit others for the sake of the "green". I guess money is truly the root of all evil. It's just sad to see that not only are people signing up for this show, but others are actually watching it! My goodness, you are so right in asking, "could it get any worse?"

that show is so sad. and i feel bad for those girls/boys.
the ones in the show; and the ones watching, feeling the same thing.

MTV is mixed up in what they think. On one hand, they strongly believe in independent thought (based on shows like Fight for Your Right).
But on the other hand, they're so much about conformity, and becoming like the rest of society (makeover shows and so on).

They really need to make up their minds...
You can't preach uniqueness and conformity at the same time.

 

[matty c]

^^^ seriously...how do they expect people to fight for their rights when they basically teach people that theyre worth nothing

 

[twosteppin]

yes. Distribing is what it is.

 

[urbanfaerie]

hmm...

if its disturbing...does that make me disturbing too?

the ppl getting the plastic surgery remind me alot of myself.. as i'm thinking of having it done as well..

 

[J.A.I]

I agree with everyone else.. It IS quite disturbing... I feel sorry for them and bad for them.

Urban ~ Why are you getting plastic surgery ? If it is to fix something.. like a scar or something from an accident, then I'd understand... but to add on to something.. that's kind of like saying, "God I'm not happy with how you made me".

Makeup and exercise and good nutritional habits by themselves make a WORLD of difference......

 

[urbanfaerie]

cuz, i'm not happy with what God gave me.. i wanna be happy when i look in the mirror, i don't see surgery as a sin..God allowed for doctors to be able to enhance features for a reason.. God can't perfect me, but a doctor can.

but also cuz i'll be externing at a plastic surgery clinic..and in order to get hired.. theres certain expectations to meet, look wise..

 

[matty c]

i think whats most disturbing is these people trying to be someone else. thats what really bugged me. God can perfect the way we view ourselves IMO, but if you feel youll be happy with your choice my advice to to you is to make sure u find a GOOD plastic surgeon. i would hate to hear of another circumstance where the person ended up regretting it because of something not holding up correctly

 

[* kittie *]

hmmm...i try hard to like my looks. prayed that God would help me. but it's hard...

sometimes, i seriously consider changing my face.

i don't find the people disturbing. i just find it sad, because i know how tough it is.

 

[twosteppin]

im sorry, but to me, people who change almost everything about their appearance to look like a famous person is very disturbing

 

[mathias1979]

I can't watch the show. It makes me sick. Why is this sort of behavior being endorsed? This is the kind of **** the FCC should be all over.

Hey urban, I don't think getting plastic surgery is disturbing, I think getting plastic surgery so that you look like someone is. I don't see anything wrong with getting a nose job or your teeth done, or lipo or a tummy tuck, have you seen Extreme Makeovers on ABC? That show touchs my heart at every episode. Here are people who all their lives were mocked or made fun of or put down because of how they looked, and then they get the chance to change that and feel good about themselves. So I don't think it's disturbing to get plastic surgery, some people have to because of fire or injury, but I do think it is very very disturbing to get your face or body changed to look like someone else. That's just crazy!

Just my thoughts.

 

[abeautifuldeath]

i hate mtv

 

[Lexi]

I think it's disturbing because they are getting plastic surgery to look like another person. It's not that they want to fix a few things to be happy with the way that they look. I don't look down on folks who choose to do that. But trying to be a clone of another person? That just creeps me out a bit.

 

[mathias1979]

and other than looking like another person...it's not just because they want a touch up. They act like they are totally worthless people unless they have the perfect breasts or the perfect nose. I've only seen the the show 3 times...but in all cases the people were far from unattractive. Except for maybe those twins...but all they really needed was some acne cream.

Its just another load of media propaganda to get you feeling bad about yourself. If you do not loke your inside, you will not like your outside as well. I spent 14,000.00 on my ex's plastic surgery, was not any happier with herself when it was done.

 

[* kittie *]

If you do not like your inside, you will not like your outside as well.

yep. very true.

 

[oldrooster]

I wish everybody would work on their insides as much as their outsides.

I really think the people on this show have a very low self-esteem. I'm not totally against plastic surgery, but to me this isn't just a plastic surgery show. It's about these young women and men who are trying to find themselves in the wrong way. It's sad that our society places outer beauty above inner beauty.
