Is the prom the most overhyped, overblown, overrated thing on earth?

And as for Seventeen commenting on the importance of prom to these girls, gee, I guess they had noooothing to do with promulgating this attitude? ha!

I've also never understood formals where the kids spend all that money to dress us elegantly and then they're going to be grinding to 50-Cent and Yellowcard. It makes no sense. The Hungarian or Vienna Debutante Ball it ain't.

Good point. That reminds me of seeing that crap MTV show "Cribs" where they showcase some performer idiot's house. The dumbasses have Ferraris parked in the driveway and freakin' Beanie Weanie stocked in the fridge next to the champagne.

I didn't even go to the prom. I never felt like I missed out on anything. I guess that's a difference between the chicks and the dudes.

No. That position is held by the wedding.

We don't have proms in the UK. Just as well for me. Neither my folks nor I could have afforded an outlay when I was still at school.

BTW I came to live in the US in June 1983. Seeing all these young people dressed to the nines, I wrote home and said how impressed I was by the way teenagers dressed for dances!

LOL! A little learning is a dangerous thing.......
