[Discussion] A New Low?

[CJ Mac]

Last month, MTV posted an open casting call for people ready to lose their virginity. I'm not sure if they were seriously going to proceed with this show since they received a lot of negative feedback and have since started damage control campaign. They were probably just planning ahead for the other stellar programming on the network. After all, this company produces shows like Jersey Shore, 16 and Pregnant, and Teen Mom. This has got to be the lowest point so far for TV, though, and I'm just glad that enough people were appalled by the ad that it changed MTV's mind. What do you all think? Here is an excerpt from the MTV post.

MTV's open casting call: "DO YOU WANT TO TAKE THINGS TO THE NEXT LEVEL? LIKE, ARE YOU READY TO HAND OVER YOUR V CARD? OR DO YOU HAVE A FRIEND WHO IS READY TO LOSE IT?

Young adulthood is a time for exploration. New relationships, fresh experiences and sexual firsts...

Now MTV is looking to frankly capture that journey in a new series called My First... We're looking for adults who are ready to go all the way. Let MTV come along on your journey...as you try to lose your virginity!"

WTH Tv shows now a days do anything to increase their ratings!

 

[UchihaBrat]

Hahaha, I'm glad I don't watch TV any longer~
This is frankly disturbing.

i miss music television. now its maternity television

honestly, i thought this was for teens to do, when i saw it was for adults, i saw it wasnt so bad. its dumb, but not "disturbing"

 

[Mante]

[benIncher]

I would watch that show. It would probably be really funny.

 

[Kazamori]

Not sure if funny or just sad.

It's been more than 2 years that I watched MTV; though it's still part of the cable channels that I pay for. Seriously, there are better things to watch and better things to do in life.

You must be registered for see images

That gave me a good laugh

MTV still exists?

On topic: It's a quick way to make cash. All of these real-time shows are like that these days. I guess MTV wants to get a piece of the cake.

I've personally always found things like "16 and pregnant" or any kind of similar show rediculous, but this is really pushing it beyond limits if you ask me.

I agree with this, though the fact remains that people will still watch such shows, despite how outrageous they may be.
