MTV Sexism never fails to amaze

Through a really, really vague connection, I’m friends with an MTV cameraperson on facebook. (I had a friend who was on an MTV reality show episode; but I won’t divulge.) I usually never think twice about MTV, until I got a request to join this facebook group , which is about a casting call for a new MTV show ‘Hot Chicks with Bad Boys.’ …

We all know MTV is sexist with every bit of programming, from ‘A Shot at Love’ (which I believe there’s an old community post about, though I don’t know who wrote it) to the most normal of music video programs (which are becoming more girls-gone-wild and less music-video-esque.) But seriously, that title just screams dumb sexism. As if a girl has no value other than being hot and boys’ only interests are getting with hot girls (and of course, hetero-normative dating standards.)

There’s more info about the show at this casting call website , but honestly the title pretty much speaks for itself.
