MTV to do Show on Sorority Life

[33girl]

I totally agree with everything DeltAlum has said where MTV is concerned. Yes they do have shows like "Fight for Your Rights" which is a positive thing. But I've been watching MTV since its inception (darn near, anyway) and they didn't give a crap about anybody fighting for any rights until it became "sexy" or "current" programming.

Look at the Hawaii season of Real World. Amaya's every fault was blown completely out of proportion, and every time she mentioned being in a sorority it was license to rip her apart. Meanwhile in that same house you had Kaia, one of the most pretentious, backstabbing humans ever featured on television, and Ruthie, the thong-flashing alcoholic. They were both portrayed as "cool." If I had any doubts about MTV's negative stance on Greek life, that erased them 100%.

Finally, if you can find it, Joe from Real World Miami wrote an expose on how fake the whole Real World experience was - the directors set up many of the moments between himself and his girlfriend, had them actually redo fights because they didn't get it all on tape.

I would believe the Weekly World News (current cover story: BILL CATCHES HILLARY WITH SPACE ALIEN!) before I would believe anything presented as "documentary" on MTV.
