We all know MTV isn’t exactly the most kid-safe network on television. With shows like “Next” that display straight, lesbian, and gay couples going on several different dates with several different partners or “Exposed”, that takes us through a date with a guy and two girls, a guy and two guys, or a girl and two girls, we can’t exactly expect much out of MTV. However, my roommates and I were appalled when a new show came out called “Telia Tequila- a shot at love”.
This show is hosted by Telia Tequila herself, a MySpace pin up girl that has built up more than 2 million “friends” from her racy photo’s and sexual profile. In the show, Telia invites 16 straight guys and 16 lesbians over to her place and comes out that she is “bi-sexual” and wants to find love. Each sex goes through certain elimination rounds and tasks to prove that they “love” Telia. “May the best sex win!” was a quote at the beginning of the show.
The show is demented and sick, and in my opinion, is even too far for MTV. What is the world coming to? All of these shows based purely on a rock star or old celebrity trying to “find love”. It’s pathetic and grosses me out half the time because all they show is the host making out or more with several different partners, sadly.
I watched the show once and only once because I felt I was watching a porno most of the time! How have we come to this? MTV used to be a music channel, hence the Music TeleVision ! Now it’s just a sex network to corrupt young adult’s minds into thinking that those things are okay.
No wonder it’s hard to find good men and women in the world, they are all glued to Telia Tequilia and think it’s how everyone should act. What bothers me most is more than half the young adults my age think this show is perfectly normal, funny even! They don’t think twice about it and believe I over react. What’s next? America’s Next Porn Star?! Oh Lord, I’m scared to even post that I might give someone at MTV an idea.

imagine that! When i thought the people at Viacom (MTV owners) couldn't sell-out anymore. I really though they were pushing this 'same sex partnership trend' with the advent of paramount pictures' "Brokeback Mountain," MTV's "Next," and other reality shows. The new 'Telia Tequila' reality show, gives us yet another low in pop-culture. The way they are teaching our generation of how to find 'love' is just sick. Countless teens and young adults soak in this garbage idea of what Viacom (MTV) tells us love truely is. This false sence of love is disgusting, and it might be part of the reason why young married couples divorce rates are raising(in U.S.). Relationships based on this false sence of 'MTV love' are usually doomed to failure.
That is the most disgusting thing I think I've ever heard of being on TV.
I almost can't believe it--although it is MTV. MTV is the worst thing that's happened to young Americans in a long, long time!
It's sad, because I was in high school when MTV started and it was just music videos. Now it's just basically softcore p0rn. I'm glad I banned it when my stepdaughter lived with me!
Beth, again. Good for you! My parents blocked MTV also at my house. Heck, I didn't have cable Tv till about 7th grade. haha. EVERYTHING has to be supervised now days: Computer, Tv, even Magazine reading. Especially with girls because they are so influenced by the mold society shows them.
Is this for real?
I don't get MTV at the moment, kinda glad of it too by the sounds of things.
Oh and hi from the UK - RWS told me to pop in and say hello.
Simon: yes, it's real. I've read about it in other places.
I'm proud to say that I haven't actually watched MTV in about 20 years, or about the time they started straying away from music videos. Of course, I also got to the point where I was too cheap to pay for cable. ;-) So at least part of that non-watching is due to other factors.
And yes, HIiHH, I am an old goat. I remember when MTV first started and was all the rage.
Nice blog, BTW.
