No, LHC is not trying to make Blackholes! LA girls discuss LHC on the “The Hills”

Surprisingly, LHC was discussed on The Hill yesterday!

If you are American realty TV deprived, The Hills is an MTV reality television series and a spin-off of the popular MTV show Laguna Beach. It documents the lives of Lauren Conrad and her friends in Los Angeles after Conrad’s move from Laguna Beach, California.

Entertainment Weekly labeled the show a “New Classic” in its special 1000th issue and ranked it 82nd on a list of The 100 Best Shows of the Last 25 Years.

I haven’t watched The Hills ever, but considering that I live in LA, I can at least fathom the shallowness of the characters on the show.

Getting past the surreal quality of the clip, what bothered me even more was the description of LHC as a place to make blackholes!

It was bad enough that people were (wrongly) worried about accidental production of blackholes that would destroy the earth, but now person on the street has started to believe that the whole purpose of LHC is to make blackholes!
