MTV has given the green light for a new reality show starring a bisexual woman dubbed “the Madonna of MySpace.”
“A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila” is another dating competition series but with a controversial twist. The competitors vying for internet sensation Tila Tequila, a 25-year-old entertainer whose real last name is Nguyen, are 16 straight men and 16 lesbians. The 32 “suitors” will live in Tila’s house and compete to impress her as the competition narrows each week.
The bisexual dating show is a first for a network that doesn’t specifically target the LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender) crowd. It’s slated to premiere Oct. 9.
MTV is one of the most watched networks by teens and its staggering levels sexual imagery, foul language and violence already have parents and evangelicals concerned.

{Begin rant}
What can I say…When MTV first came out in the early 1980’s it was just about the music. It was music that my generation listened to and now could watch. When I was in a Frat in college we would sit around and watch Martha Quinn and the other VJ’s. Then they started doing TV shows like Remote Control and then it just got sleezy! Last I heard they don’t even play videos anymore. I haven’t watched MTV in at least 15 years. It is blocked at my house even from me. There is nothing, I mean nothing good that a follower of Jesus could get from any of their liberal, trashy programing. Uggh!

agreed. MTV is a total waste of time.
Kevin, even the musicians seem know that MTV is clueless. I read that Justin Timberlake yelled out, during his live segment at the Video Music Awards, something to the effect “Quit showing reality shows, show the music videos”.
Oh, the glory days when the “M” in MTV meant music and now it means “mindless”. YouTube is now the only place where we can watch real music videos, but you don’t get the same effect without a VJ like Martha Quinn.
Martha was a cutie. Remember when she played Peter Brady’s wife on the Brady Bunch reunions?
We watch “classic” videos on one of those expanded cable channels. I missed out on the 80’s – having babies and such – so now I’m enjoying the music and videos.
Agreed. It is blocked in my house also.
Everywhere has this news. I should tell those bi friends http://www.findbilover.com. “You will be the next Tila Tequila if you post your shows.”
