Confessions of a Recovering Pharisee

MTV has given the green light for a new reality show starring a bisexual woman dubbed “the Madonna of MySpace.”

“A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila” is another dating competition series but with a controversial twist. The competitors vying for internet sensation Tila Tequila, a 25-year-old entertainer whose real last name is Nguyen, are 16 straight men and 16 lesbians. The 32 “suitors” will live in Tila’s house and compete to impress her as the competition narrows each week.

The bisexual dating show is a first for a network that doesn’t specifically target the LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender) crowd. It’s slated to premiere Oct. 9.

MTV is one of the most watched networks by teens and its staggering levels sexual imagery, foul language and violence already have parents and evangelicals concerned.

{Begin rant}

What can I say…When MTV first came out in the early 1980’s it was just about the music. It was music that my generation listened to and now could watch. When I was in a Frat in college we would sit around and watch Martha Quinn and the other VJ’s. Then they started doing TV shows like Remote Control and then it just got sleezy! Last I heard they don’t even play videos anymore. I haven’t watched MTV in at least 15 years. It is blocked at my house even from me. There is nothing, I mean nothing good that a follower of Jesus could get from any of their liberal, trashy programing. Uggh!
