    Came across this on youtube & I guess it must have been only aired in the US but whoever thought this was a good idea should be fired. Watch the link & imagine if it was about black or Hispanic's.

    It was pulled off the network because MTV were slaughtered online about it.

    Why do they still have the 'M' in 'MTV'? :confused:

    Unless it now stands for Moronic?

    Think we had a thread about how stupid it was and the general consensus was surprise that MTV was still around.

    It should be called RTV now - Reality TV

    It just seems to show garbage reality shows now.

    It would be a big deal if it was blacks or Hispanics because the USA is ruled and always has been by white people who have over the years treated minorities pretty badly. That's why you're allowed joke about white people and not vice versa. It's not rocket science so enough of the faux outrage.

    Pretty sure it was ruled by a black guy for eight years quite recently.

    Because ultimately, the president has very little power. The country is ruled by rich white guys.
