MTV jumps from 'Jersey Shore' to West Virginia
Of all the campaign ads screened in the "Media and Politics" class I teach at the University of Minnesota, one that still stuns students is "Convention."
Created by the 1968 Nixon campaign, the incendiary,[url=http://duveticatrenchcoat.webmium.com/][b]デュベティカ店舗大阪[/b][/url], instantly controversial ad had no voiceover, but instead a sped-up,[url=http://duveticajacketssalejp.halod.com/][b]デュベティカダウンジャケット[/b][/url], nervous version of "Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight," meant to mock Chicago,[url=http://duveticajacketssalejp.halod.com/][b]デュベティカ激安[/b][/url], site of that year's disastrous Democratic National Convention.
Even more than the jarring audio,[url=http://duveticashop.webmium.com/][b]デュベティカ店舗[/b][/url], it's the visuals that still startle. With a quick-cut pace well ahead of conventional '68 standards,[url=http://duveticadownjackets.halod.com/][b]ダウンジャケットduvetica[/b][/url], pictures of convention hall chaos, disturbing urban riots and casualties in Vietnam are interspersed between unsettling stills of newly nominated Hubert Humphrey, alternately grimacing and grinning from the podium.
There are also stark depictions of appalling Appalachian poverty. A man,[url=http://discount2013duveticajackets.webmium.com/][b]デュベティカ激安[/b][/url], appearing gaunt and haunted, peers from a front porch. A mother and daughter with dirt on her face sit at a sparse table. An American flag droops in a broken window, through which a boy blankly stares,[url=http://duveticadownjackets.halod.com/][b]デュベティカダウンジャケット[/b][/url], his broken hope seemingly symbolizing LBJ's failed "War on Poverty."
Yet despite the depressing characterizations, the faces retain nobility that evoke the iconic Great Depression photos of Dorothea Lange. "Convention" doesn't mock Appalachia, but rather the failure to help it.
Conversely, the faces of MTV's new "Buckwild," a "Jersey Shore" meets "Jackass" reality show set in Appalachia, are different. These West Virginians are portrayed as more nubile than noble, less dignified and more decadent.
Kissing,[url=http://duveticajacketsmenjp.albirank.net/][b]デュベチカ専売店[/b][/url], cussing, shooting, shouting, laughing,[url=http://duveticatrenchcoat.webmium.com/][b]デュベティカ専売店[/b][/url], lounging, mumbling (some need subtitles), mudding and mugging for the faux-reality show, they show poor judgment but don't seem poor. The hillbilly affectations mask affluence unobtainable to previous,[url=http://duveticajacketssalejp.halod.com/][b]ダウンジャケットレディース[/b][/url], prouder generations: These country kids have multiple motorized vehicles to pull stupid stunts on, and they trash furniture after being evicted not because of poverty but partying.
"Buckwild" angered Sen. Based on previews (evidently he didn't need to drink the whole carton to know the milk was spoiled), Manchin wrote MTV to "formally request that you put a stop to the travesty called 'Buckwild.' . Instead of showcasing the beauty of our people and our state, you preyed on young people,[url=http://duveticashoponline.webmium.com/][b]モンクレール[/b][/url], coaxed them into displaying shameful behavior -- and now you are profiting from it. That is just wrong. This show plays to ugly, inaccurate stereotypes about the people of West Virginia."
MTV declined comment. It didn't need to say anything: A stern senatorial rebuke was priceless advertising, just as when Garden State Gov. Senator,[url=http://duveticajacketssalejp.albirank.net/][b]ダウンジャケットduvetica[/b][/url], I am repulsed at this business venture, where some Americans are making money off of the poor decisions of our youth. I cannot imagine that anyone who loves this country would feel proud about profiting off of 'Buckwild.'"
Proud? Uncertain. Profitable? Probably. Reality shows like "Buckwild" aren't just cheap, they're inexpensive.
But they're usually fleeting. News' highest-ranked national university, is much more durable than "Jersey Shore" as a state icon. The damage to West Virginia's image should be limited, too. Most know that any state can conjure up a similar set of embarrassing ambassadors, and that "reality" TV isn't, well, real.
To be sure,[url=http://duveticajacketsmenonsalejp.halod.com/][b]デュベティカアウトレット[/b][/url], among the videos and voyeuristic series like last year's parental panic,[url=http://duveticajacketsonlinejp.halod.com/][b]ダウンジャケットメンズ[/b][/url], "Skins," MTV has a long history of programs with social angle. Census Bureau.
But "Buckwild" -- more "The Real World" than real world -- seems more like MTV,[url=http://duveticajacketsjp.albirank.net/][b]デュベチカ専売店[/b][/url], a network once considered "edgy," but one that is really rather establishment. Owned by global conglomerate Viacom,[url=http://discountduveticajackets.webmium.com/][b]デュベティカダウンジャケット[/b][/url], the network is profiting from its familiar formula of modeling -- and monetizing -- indiscretion.
Truly edgy, even radical, would be a sincere, consistent commitment to young people, not alternately elevating and denigrating them. Conversely,[url=http://duveticajacketssalejp.halod.com/][b]デュベティカアウトレット[/b][/url], as cynical as "Convention" was,[url=http://duveticajacketssalejp.albirank.net/][b]デュベティカダウンジャケット[/b][/url], at least that era's earnest effort was to lift up,[url=http://duveticajacketssalejp.albirank.net/][b]デュベティカ激安[/b][/url], not put down,[url=http://duveticadownjackets.halod.com/][b]デュベチカ専売店[/b][/url], Appalachian youths.
