MTV continues its mission to pollute the minds of American youth. The cable channel formerly known as Music Television could become more effective than al Qaeda in bringing about the demise of Western Civilization. It will soon be airing a bisexual dating show called A Shot At Love With Tila Tequila. Who is Tila Tequila, you ask? She is a blond Vietnamese bisexual who has made a name for herself for being some kind of "queen" of MySpace...you know, that other thing that is helping to pollute the minds of our youth. Here is the TV Week article:

When I first read this article, I wondered if the apocalypse was near. But when I read the TrackBack comments below the article, I was relieved to see that there is much moral outrage over the show's concept, and that many people see it (and MTV) for the repulsive sleaze that it is.

I don't know if this represents a new low for the supposed music channel, which is now mainly a purveyor of trashy reality shows. It seems that MTV has been pandering to the lowest common denominator and pushing leftist values on our youth for many years now. People who are 25 and under have been exposed to a constant barrage of sexual imagery throughout their lives. So, how does MTV generate controversy in an anything-goes era? They make the sexual content more deviant.

If this trend continues, the future of America will be sad. If future generations continue to be dumbed down and taught that sexual perversion is the norm, our society will inevitably collapse. If too many youngsters continue to be exposed to a steady diet of such mindless filth, America will become a nation of Beavises and Buttheads, and it will be unable to sustain itself.

The conventional wisdom is that parents are responsible for supervising what their children watch, and this is basically true. However, parents cannot watch their children 24-7. The media is guilty of continually degrading the culture, possibly to the point of no return. Some will say that it is simply a matter of supply and demand, and that the media is simply giving people what they want. But the almighty dollar is really not the main reason that a show such as A Shot At Love With Tila Tequila finds its way on the air. It has more to do with the liberal media's contempt for traditional values, against which it has waged a war for decades.

So, if any parents are still unaware of what children are watching on MTV, or on the internet, or on just about any other pop cultural medium, this should serve as a wake-up call.

Here's my advice for the young: do not look up to the people that MTV parades before you in their reality shows, or in any music videos that may still occasionally pop up on the channel. MTV may make them look cool, or glamourous, but they are not. Most of them are losers. And if you follow their example, or if you even spend too much of your time watching them make fools of themselves, you will grow to be losers as well. MTV and other media outlets may help such people achieve fame and riches, but you will not find similar rewards if you emulate them. Instead, you will end up living lives of poverty and misery.
