George Ouzounian, a prominent online satirist better known by the alias "Maddox", criticised the show in a May 2005 article on his website,
The Best Page in the Universe , stamping it hypocritical and patronising. As Ouzounian points out, the show promotes the awareness of frugality in the third world through the visiting of high-profile, wealthy Westerners. [" [http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=trippin I hate Cameron Diaz] ", "The Best Page in the Universe".]The show has also attracted criticism from the
Cybercast News Service [ [http://www.cnsnews.com/ViewNation.asp?Page=/Nation/archive/200504/NAT20050422a.html Cybercast News Service] "Celebs Ignore Death, Poverty on MTV Enviro Series"] for reasons similar to those outlined by Ouzounian. CNS claims "Trippin"'s hosts overlook keysocioeconomic issues existing in the countries visited, includingBhutan , and make such serious matters seem trivial in comparison to the supposed advantages of frugal living (e.g. actress Drew Barrymore was enthralled at Bhutan's lack of sanitary services).
