MTV's Pro-Violence

I know I am about a week late, but I wanted to talk about a serious matter. On the season openers of Both The Hills and The Duel 2 there were pretty graphic fights between cast members. If you didn't see one, or either, the fights were pretty disgusting and there was blood involved--so they weren't slapping contests in the least. I literally had to change the channel during these violent moments.

Of course such scenes generate viewers which is what the network wants, but it is MTV's duty to be more responsible being that their audience is largely teens and pre-teens. When young adults see this sort of behavior they are going to think it's cool and acceptable. 

I think that if a fight breaks out on set the footage should not be shown and the characters immediately dismissed from the program. 

Let me explain that I am not so ignorant as to think that there aren't numerous programs that depict violence; however, the episodes that I am referring to are real and popular among an influential audience.

Hopefully MTV will higher their standards. I mean, really, it's already cheesy reality that many of us are often ashamed to admit to watching. I prefer they not make it any worse by condoning fist fights.
