Nobody watches MTV anymore. Who cares?

true, but it still makes the movement look like a joke...in my opinion.

So if some shock jock like Howard Stern or Limbaugh decided to have an Occupy "casting call" WITHOUT permission we are automatically tarred by it? Listen, there are scores of outside groups, posters, posers, people, politicians, authority figures, etc. trying, every hour, to take down this movement. You can't control others; you can only control yourself.

Why because they put out a commercial. It don't sound like you are on the ship anyway.

[-] 1 points by paulspreadlove (4) 13 years ago

how will i or anyone take it seriously if there is an #ows backed plan for a fing reality show?

if it 'don't' sound like i am on ship, then how does one sound like it?

and no, not because they put out a commercial...because there is a full out promotion on the MTV website for it mr/ms smarty pants... http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1673057/occupy-wall-street-true-life.jhtml

Ok I seen the article. How is this backed by OWS besides a few members being on it. I can't really vilify it unless I see it. It could be great for the movement or awful. But I hope people really don't read a whole lot into it either way. MTV only cares about ratings and bringing in revenue from commercials so that worries me but it's hard to say. The OWS is in the media spotlight now. That is good and bad. They are being judged by society. It's a hard test to pass especially with the potential to be sabotaged.

Ugh let me check it out I thought u were talking about a commercial. Chill out. Let me see.

that's what i'm sayin!!! maybe the jumping ship comment was a little extreme, but it was intended for dramatics... i just wanted to confirm if this was being backed by the organizers...

I appreciate that

Yeah I hope good comes from this but the media isn't on our side. The media only usually shows the conflict part of a protest not the views or solution. They only care about ratings.

I just read that via Reddit - MTV published a casting call on craigslist, how can anyone stop it?

[-] 1 points by RantCasey (782) from Saginaw, MI 13 years ago

The only way to stop it is to stop it from being viewed it's apparently filmed already

I think anyone can post to Craigslist

Everybody says there is this RACE problem. Everybody says this RACE problem will be solved when the third world pours into EVERY white country and ONLY into white countries.

The Netherlands and Belgium are just as crowded as Japan or Taiwan, but nobody says Japan or Taiwan will solve this RACE problem by bringing in millions of third worlders and quote assimilating unquote with them.

Everybody says the final solution to this RACE problem is for EVERY white country and ONLY white countries to “assimilate,” i.e., intermarry, with all those non-whites.

What if I said there was this RACE problem and this RACE problem would be solved only if hundreds of millions of non-blacks were brought into EVERY black country and ONLY into black countries?

How long would it take anyone to realize I’m not talking about a RACE problem. I am talking about the final solution to the BLACK problem?

And how long would it take any sane black man to notice this and what kind of psycho black man wouldn’t object to this?

But if I tell that obvious truth about the ongoing program of genocide against my race, the white race, Liberals and respectable conservatives agree that I am a naziwhowantstokillsixmillionjews.

They say they are anti-racist. What they are is anti-white.

Anti-racist is a code word for anti-white.
