At least one would expect to receive a pipe full of Hopium.
This is hilarious. Clearly, the word went out from an angry Barack or a screeching Moochelle, “No more Velmas!!!”
Clinton:
Boxers or Briefs?
Obama:
Sunni or Shiite?
To be sure to get picked make sure your picture has you kissing someone of the same gender as you.
18+ ?
I’m gonna apply and not mention that I’m 62.
Meanwhile, they used to describe W's town-hall attendees as hand picked, even by Fox (Wendell Goler types).
I assume this means European whites and Hispanics are way overrepresented.
His hard-core is a bunch of white liberal academics and journalists and a scad of black politicians and civil servants with a few slum-dwellers thrown in. I guess this wasn’t exactly the weird demographic they were seeking to project.
I don't think MTV has ever pretended to be fair and balanced. The fact that they're carefully screening participants to avoid being "ambushed" comes as no surprise whatsoever.
Hopefully their target demographic recognizes this. I know I did when I was a regular viewer in my younger days.
Intelligence.
You mean to tell me that MTV is NOT about substance?!?!?!
All the reality of Professional Wrestling.
