SoCal school cancels MTV filming; officials cite Super Bowl show
(Laguna Beach-AP) -- School officials in Orange County are reneging on a plan to allow M-T-V to film a reality show with high school students.
The Laguna Beach Unified School District's board says the decision comes in light of the M-T-V-produced Super Bowl halftime performance when Justin Timberlake ripped off part of Janet Jackson's costume -- revealing her right breast.
Faced with opposition from angry parents the school board voted yesterday to forbid the network from filming the students.
Board members had tentatively approved the deal last week. It would have given the district as much as 40-thousand dollars plus royalties for college scholarships. They say they were worried the deal would not allow the district to protect students.
I'll take none of it and be happy...
No kidding - have any of these people ever watched the MTV Spring Break specials, or an episode of The Real World? What a laugh the title of that show is.
You've all seen the email with the story of two cows for liberals, conservatives, socialists, etc.
Well, here is the latest update with two cows - California style.
CALIFORNIAN
You have a cow and a bull. The bull is depressed. It has spent its life living a lie. It goes away for two weeks. It comes back after a taxpayer-paid sex-change operation. You now have two cows. One makes milk; the other doesn't. You try to sell the transgender cow. Its lawyer sues you for discrimination. You lose in court. You sell the milk-generating cow to pay the damages. You now have one rich, transgender, non-milk-producing cow. You change your business to beef.
PETA pickets your farm. Jesse Jackson makes a speech in your driveway. Cruz Bustamante calls for higher farm taxes to help "working cows". Hillary Clinton calls for the nationalization of 1/7 of your farm "for the children". Gray Davis signs a law giving your farm to Mexico. The L.A. Times quotes five anonymous cows claiming you groped their teats. You declare bankruptcy and shut down all operations. The cow starves to death. The L.A. Times' analysis shows your business failure is Bush's fault.
Did you miss the last paragraph?
It would have given the district as much as 40-thousand dollars plus royalties for college scholarships.
The Real World can pretty much be summed up thusly - take a bunch of skanky communist youth, put them in some rich liberal's beach mansion, feed them unlimited booze and drugs and then encourage them to strip naked and screw each other in front of the camera as often as they can. Up until now MTV settled with kids above the age of consent - like it or not, they're legally adults and are free to make idiotic decisions. But MTV seems to be trying to expand their sleaze reach into the pre-18 set. Can you actually say that you don't have a problem with this?
In the wake of the Super Bowl scandal (Jackson, Timberlake, et al), talk radio host Dan Patrick (no, not the ESPN guy) of KSEV Houston is leading a move to have parents delete MTV from their TV, one way or another. He appeared on the syndicated Laura Ingraham show (which has KSEV as an affiliate).
From the KSEV website:
"STAND UP AND FIGHT BACK AGAINST MTV...LET'S TURN OFF MTV IN HOUSTON....JUST TAKE YOUR REMOTE AND GO TO DELETE CHANNELS....DELETE MTV AND CHANGE THE PASSWORD SO YOUR KIDS CAN'T WATCH....STAND UP TO YOUR KIDS...THEY WON'T BE HAPPY,BUT YOU MUST HOLD FIRM.... DO YOU WANT YOUR SONS AND ESPECIALLY YOUR DAUGHTERS EXPOSED TO THIS CONSTANT BARRAGE OF ATTACKS ON YOUR VALUES........THEN SCROLL BELOW AND CONTACT THE NFL AND CBS....ALSO CONTACT YOUR CONGRESSMAN AND SENATOR AND DEMAND THAT THE FCC GET TOUGH WITH THOSE WHO WANT TO COME INTO YOUR HOME AND DESTROY YOUR FAMILY VALUES
