It has been brought to my attention that the message below is being sent to members of myspace groups. Looks like MTV is having a hard time coming up with original storylines.
Hi there:
I'm a Casting Director at MTV News & Docs and were developing a new show about initiations that will feature entertaining stories about amusing rites of passage into clubs and teams around the country. Were not looking for tales of anything that even remotely resembles hazing, rather were out to find some good old-fashioned hilarity. And, whether you played chess or rugby, were in a fraternity or the marching band, I'd love to hear about your funny initiations.
Our show will recreate the real-life experiences as told by the very people who live through the late-night kidnappings, messy missions and the occasional run-ins with cops or school administrations. Well hear from those that plan and plot the adventures and those who are forced to participate.
If you have or know of any juicy or funny stories that scream to be told from the recent past, check out MTV's Casting Call website or just e-mail directly at brooke.balick@mtvnmix.com. And, of course, feel free to pass this e-mail on to anyone else that may have some kind of initiation story to tell!
Best,
Brooke Balick
