That was what Brian Graden, President of Entertainment at MTV, said about "The Hills". If you haven't heard of "The Hills" then you need to. For the President of the company, that more or less directs the trends and culture of America's youth, to call a show it's "most influential...ever" definitely got my attention. This quote came from the Rolling Stone article, "Are They For Real?" And, that is the question most people are asking about this show, "is this reality TV?" Yes and No. It's an interesting article that if one reads between the lines you can see what MTV tries to accomplish through this medium. I encourage parents to read the article about this show that has a "cult-like" following among teens. But, do so with understanding that there is strong language in this article and in most Rolling Stone articles for that matter. Even with that in mind I have to admit that RS has a good feel for what's coming over the horizon.
