Next You’ll Tell Me That Melanie Griffith’s Depiction Of Working Girl Tess McGill Was Inaccurate!
The Staten Island Advance is unimpressed with MTV’s recent “True Life: I’m A Staten Island Girl” episode:
Posted: October 19th, 2006 | Filed under: Staten IslandIf Staten Island girls are all club-hopping, mall-going, road-raging, tanning-salon-orange Italians, then last night’s episode of MTV’s True Life was so totally true to life.
If Staten Island girls all date spiky-haired losers and throw in extra W’s when they tawk, then the show, I’m a Staten Island Girl was also totally true to its billing as a documentary about young people and the unusual subcultures they inhabit.
Or, it was a totally vapid documentary about young people and the unadulterated stereotypes they exhibit.
Do Staten Island dads really warn their daughters they’ll be sleeping with the fishes?
Do 20-somethings seduce their boyfriends with lines like, Your spikes . . . they’re disheveled in all the right places.
And do they say to their parents, It’s not that I don’t like youse (sic). I just want to get out of Staten Island.
Apparently, sometimes they do, and yesterday, they did it on national TV.
