MTV Hearts Pregnant Teens. Too Much.
By Jenny Johnson at
In my college years I was a frequent viewer of MTV. Oh, I knew it was stupid, but it was harmless. I could easily get sucked into their youthful programming. I watched Real World like it was my job when I was in college — I loved that shit so much I actually made a VHS tape and sent in with the hopes of being a cast member on one of their seasons. I never got a callback, more than likely because Real World producers weren't looking to cast a back-lit 20-year-old white girl from Texas whose strongest quality was avoiding confrontations. I indulged in TRL (the Carson Daly years). I watched Road Rules. Spring Break crap. Cribs. Pimp My Ride. MTV was my guilty pleasure. As I got older, I backed off of MTV shows and began watching more sophisticated programming like To Catch a Predator and Family Guy. But my youthfulness will occasional stop by to say "hi" to MTV from time to time while flipping through the channels.
