Comments on: The Real World meets The Anti-Real World http://www.antirealworld.com/2009/07/the-real-world-meets-the-anti-real-world.html MTV's newest season of "The Real World" is being filmed about 20 feet from my house. This blog will chronicle the pain and annoyance they put me and my neighbors through as well as the heckling my friends and I plan for the newest crop of "real worlders."

So The Real World is filming in your city for a few measly months. b-o-o-h-o-o. Seriously - so your bars are 8 people more crowded (Ok, ok, plus camera men, whatever).<br /><br />You say you're against TRW, yet you and many others are wasting hours and hours of your precious time! If you're so against it, don't you have anything better to do? It just seems kind of pathetic that you and others (like Elizabethany, who admitted ON THE RADIO that she wanted to get into the house and into the hot tub....um, contradictory much?).<br /><br />If you love your city so much, one would think that you'd want to share it with others (millions of others!) instead of getting angry and frustrated about it. Again - it's not a permanent gig! They'll be gone soon!<br /><br />And to make matters worse, you totally CHOKE when push comes to shove. "We don't hate you...come be our friends!" Ok, so you didn't say that. But you might as well have. Either way, it sounds equally as pathetic that you didn't give Ashley an earful in a kind and respectful way. Lamooo. <br /><br />Like others said, you definitely just invalidated your entire blog by posting of that 1 encounter.<br /><br />Are you sure that you're not a Real World Reject? You totally tried out and didn't make the cut, right?<br /><br />PEACE! First off, let me just say that I respectfully and firmly disagree with the stance your blog is taking. So The Real World is filming in your city for a few measly months. b-o-o-h-o-o. Seriously – so your bars are 8 people more crowded (Ok, ok, plus camera men, whatever).

Are you sure that you're not a Real World Reject? You totally tried out and didn't make the cut, right?

PEACE!

How "anti" are you if your response was "I don't hate you." Talking shit behind their backs (and in a way, in their faces--being the Internet) and then when confronted, you cowered. Way to blow it.

I'm simply calling into question his baseless assumptions based on attire. It's these sort of preconceived notions and prejudices that alienate our straight allies. <br />The simple act of wearing a piece of branded merchandise is one of many ways that a person can show their support for a movement, a political party, an organization or a company. It is not necessarily indicative of their sexuality, political leanings, motivations or agendas. <br /><br />Yes, I disagree with the OP about the value of HRC within the LGBT community; however, to each his own. The point of my post was not to cast aspersions on the OP for his views, but rather point out the fallacy and pejorative nature of his logic. @DCBadger I don't believe I've projected anything negative upon the OP.

It's the same way I would guess someone passing out PETA material doesn't eat meat. Or if someone had an RNC logo on a shirt, I'd think they are Republican.<br /><br />The cast member had an actual logo for an organization on his clothes--usually a good sign. But.... it turns out the cast member in question is an ally and that's awesome! Sorry we got it wrong! That happens!<br /><br />Unfortunately, that still doesn't make the author of this post any of the things you would project onto him. He's a staunch ally of the LGBTQ community who has opinions...just ones you disagree with. @Bryce As an out and proud gay man, as well as a betting man, I would guess that someone wearing clothing with an HRC logo on it is part of the LGBTQ community.

Should we then assume that all women who wear Birkenstocks are feminist lesbians on a war path? I suppose it is only fitting that we class all of those individuals wearing overalls as Republicans who didn't graduate high school. What about those African-American women wearing brightly colored dresses? Are they just some sad, tired way of connecting with the African Diaspora?<br />Your attempt to extrapolate likely sexuality and/or worthiness of a cast member falls within these same pejorative lines. <br />Perhaps the reason you don't believe that HRC works for the LGBT community is because you are so jaded by your own prejudices.

And how does writing on a blog equate to: "just looking to attract some attention yourselves."

Wow ... that lends credence to the rumour I heard that you guys/gals aren't really 'against' the Real World ... just looking to attract some attention yourselves. I could understand 1 irate (and slightly unbalanced) neighbor ... but 11? Incidentally, those of us who live in DC know that NO ONE lives within 20 feet of that house ... especially not if you're in the house diagonally across from it. And 11 folks in that house? Is it a group house or something? And YOU're the ones complaining? Pot calling the kettle black? 11 contributors!

Normal people do not sign up to be on a reality TV show. That is why I, personally, and so interested to see what happens with the RWDC. They are like characters from a Greek tragedy: evenutally they will destroy themselves by their own hubris (and copious alcohol consumption). I think your run-in was well played!
