Daddy's Little Princess Is Wasted

Stumble ThisThis is from an episode of Intervention on A&E: http://www.aetv.com/intervention/index.jsp
It's a show that centers on the realities facing addicts. They convince the addict he/she is being filmed for a documentary, but their behavior is actually being documented in anticipation of an intervention by friends and family. [paraphrased from wikipedia]
Direct quote from wiki: "Although many programs of this type preach certain moral or lifestyle views, Intervention generally tries to refrain from editorializing, preferring to let the addict's story and the family's commentary set the tone for an episode. The show relies on its raw, intimate footage to tell its story, and it leaves ultimate interpretation to the viewer."

It's two people living in a shithole, living shit lives, being wasted, having no self respect. (Yes one sister seems to be trying to make things better... but still)
And there's a film crew there to film it all so people can watch and say 'oooh, I'm so much better than them'.
This is not how you help people get out of a situation like this, this is just Jerry Springer taken to people's houses.
Thanks!
THIS is de-evolution.
^Actually, the show isn't meant to exploit the addicts. It's meant to lead into an intervention to get them help.
You don't need to broadcast it to do that.
You can’t judge someone while they are under the influence. It just isn’t fair… Sure you can laugh at them from the outside but the truth (in the end) is that it isn’t funny. I don’t know if it’s alcohol or drugs or both that this girl is on but everything you see is not the “Real Her”.
She just needs that dry out time and to be smacked (shocked) in the face with the evidence of the film when she is dry. Once they see themselves, they can begin the process to rehabilitate her.
If you want to mock someone, Mock the bastards making, importing, selling & pushing all the crap they are using to enslave these people with on the streets… all in the name of a buck!
Clearly the blond is in trouble, but I don't think that bringing a freaking film crew into her messed up life will motivate her to change very much. Maybe I'm wrong.
I think a lot of her bizarre behavior could be credited to being put on the spot unwillingly.
She is a mess. Something is very wrong there. I just don't think that exposing her like they did will help her in the long run. It might even make her more anti-social.
We just witnessed her exploitation.
Frankly I don't know if anything will help her short of a miracle. She needs some very specialized sort of human interaction that apparently doesn't exist in her life.
please tell me they end each show with the person recovered at the end thanking those around them for loving and caring for them.

So it's a non-profit all-volunteer TV show, using donated airtime?
Let's split the difference -- maybe it's not just meant to exploit the addicts.
this clip almost justifies sept 11th like maby if you could round upp all the people like this and there parents and people responsable put them in the world trade center, boom usa clean
Brilliant idea! We should totally round up these undesirable and ship them off to be ki - OH WAIT THE NAZIS ALREADY TRIED THAT LOLOLOL

Um, Obama won. Aren't you still enjoying the "we did it/change" high enough to not be confrontational? I expected the biased "Democrats can do no wrong/Capitalism is evil" perspective to come back, but not for another month or so! Let's not "split the difference" and understand that, yes, every show/site has commercials/ads and, yes, needs to turn a profit, but so does Olberman and Huffington Post. It's simply expected.
The show is completely about exploiting her. It's like American Idol is not at all about finding a star, it's about using the rest of the schmucks to make a buck.
Butterface. Hate when the gods give up at the neck.
it's that new "bottom up" design technique the gods have been using lately.
This vid bummed me out.
I know a lot of you are probably affected by addiction and might not want to see it but I can't believe anyone would downvote this to prevent others from seeing it. As stupid as this show might be, it might still help open some people's eyes.
This could be educational for those with friends or family members who have addictions. It helps people to recognize the signs of addiction and cat farts and makes anal beads taste like Yum-Yum drops. That's right. I said some bullshit. I can't take anything seriously.
"And here we have the feral-teenage-drunk-slut performing her traditional hang-over dance. Notice the lack of modesty brought on by delusions of beauty and an inflated sense of pride. Her strategically placed mating pigmentation will guide any lower IQ males in the vicinity towards her bursting-with-anger genitalia. Those with higher functioning brains steer clear and avoid eye contact, lest the crazed gaze causes them to vomit a little."
I'm not saying that this show doesn't have redeeming values or is completely fake, but I have a feeling this girl just likes to be naked in front of a camera, which is fine by me.

Oy. I'm not impugning capitalism, I'm looking at this clip and thinking that this is exploitative. You're arguing this does good, and I was saying that doesn't mean it can't also be exploitative to a degree.
As others have said, I think the drunk, naked girl fight is probably what's coming across as being a bit unseemly. The fact that you posted it enhances that effect.
>> ^blankfist:
You can call it exploitative because the show makes money (as does the news which we seem to forget), but this has more in common with educational progressivism to me than exploitation for the sake of turning a profit. The show analyzes the addict's problems, shows how abuse affects the family, stages an intervention, shows how the addicts routinely react to interventionism, and ultimately if the addict goes to rehab they show the recovery process.

Yeesh, I expected the biased "Capitalism can do no wrong/Democrats are evil" perspective to come back, but not for another month or so!
Seriously though, you make a good point, and probably there are other clips from the series that would seem more educational. This one seems awfully close to some coarse voyeurism. Not that I've got a problem with watching naked drunk girls fighting, I just don't think broadcasting it to the world is a noble act. You say the series overall is higher minded, I'll take your word for it.
Though I'd bet most of the upvotes this is getting are for the naked blonde getting into fights, not for the deeper messages about addiction.
ROFLMAO.
Meth is the evilest goddamn drug ever.
The suspense is killing me! What happens next? She's on the phone, and then...?!?
Sorry, I have to downvote... that has no redeeming qualities at all.

You obviously havent watched the show.
...with a shovel.
>> ^clanboru15:

Obviously he hasn't. However I understand his downvote - the clip being here on Videosift with the associated comments...is like Jerry Springer with this show clip.
if you watched the whole thing you'd discover her parents divorced when she was very young, her mum apparently left her dad because he's a wanker and put pressure on his wife about her weight (which she probably increased because he's such a wanker) and this girl was therefore taken 200 miles away from the father she loved (even if he was a wanker) and nobody ever fucking counselled her about that.
you'd also discover that her mum has just had enough of it, her father knows it's his fault and feels guilty but flakes out on helping her and is really fucking selfish the way he talks about the situation.
most of the lucid sensible comments in the show come from the addict, who knows exactly what is going on but not how to express it. she chooses jail instead of her lame family (who by the way thought a TV program was the best way to get help... who's exploiting who?)
so fuck you all. this is exactly why i haven't commented on VS for so long, you are all fucking goldfish.
you fucking retards, ... you're all fucking judgemental ... who knows exactly what is going on but not how to express it ...so fuck you all ... you are all fucking goldfish.
Is that you in this clip?
And I'm not talking about their chest for once.
Addiction is a real problem and serious danger. But the problem with this documentary is that it isn't a documentary at all.
It's a reality show with a clear written script with professional actors.
Say what you will, I say they're all actors acting out a 'real situation'
This clip has been posted for the 'watching a car crash' standpoint... it's all about looking at a naked chick going mental.
No redeeming qualities.
The show as a WHOLE may very well be of worth, but this clip, on its own... IS NOT.
And stop being such an aggressive dick, geeze.
if you're fine with that, then fine.
You're great sometimes MINK in all honesty - but you say ^that^ like anyone actually gives a rat's ass where you've been or even noticed you weren't abusing the rest of the sift for once
faaaaaake

I wouldnt say fake since one of the people on this show has died. If he was acting he sure took it seriously. There was also a famous musician on this show cant remember who it was but he was bad off as well.
