I don't know how I managed to get sucked into the Laguna Beach bubble, but I did. And last night, the bubble popped.
The show had me crying. I am so tired of these fifteen-year-old fans not seeing the whole picture (or as much of the whole picture as MTV's editing room has allowed us to see) and just grilling Kristin for "being a bitch." She's not a bitch, she's confident. Everyone has a softer side, as demonstrated by many-a-scene with Stephen. Especially the sunset scene last night:
"Do you remember our first date? I was so nervous."
(And then she says, "I was so nervous," which I misheard as "I'm still nervous," which brought me to tears. So I guess the show didn't REALLY make me cry. Well, that is, until LC left her parents.)
Let's pretend she said "I'm still nervous."
I was floored with the "surprise." Especially since I didn't know there was GOING to be a surprise (I didn't watch last week's episode). A second season!? The silly fifteen-year-old fans are already taking Kristin's side and "hatin' on" Taylor (who, by the way, is obviously the new Kristin ... but more mild!? Hello!) or that Casey/Cacee girl. Who looks like an MTV implant .
Anyway, the impact of media has reached its climax. Check this out (my new favorite site, urbandictionary.com):
1. dunzo
Dunzo, a slang word for done/fin[i]shed. Made famous by the Laguna Beach cast.
This car is so dunzo. (Kristin's car breaks down.)

The day after the show ends, with final episode titled "Dunzo!"
Well, I've decided to use a new West Coast slang term every day (a la Clueless and the word "sporadic"). I'm regressing. America is going downhill.
First Bush, now a completely manufactured reality show young teens refuse to believe is fake in any way. America never ceases to amaze me.
