Bisexual Dating Show To Air On MTV

(AP)  The airwaves are changing things up again by adding more variety to dating shows; in this case, it's adding both men and women into the dating pool.

A bisexual dating show featuring a woman who gained fame on MySpace is in the works for MTV.

"A Shot at Love With Tila Tequila," in which 16 men and 16 women will compete for Tequila's affections, is set to debut Oct. 9 on the cable channel, Television Week reported Thursday.

"Tila Tequila made a name for herself by doing things her way, captivating legions of fans online, both men and women," said MTV executive Tony DiSanto. "Now she is taking that attitude and sex appeal to her own TV series where she is looking for a mate ... by again, captivating a group of both men and women."

Tequila's MySpace page includes racy photos, her music and a Time magazine description of the singer-model-actress-blogger (born Tila Nguyen) as an Internet sensation and "the Madonna of MySpace."

The "M" in MTV stands for masturbatory now as it once stood for Music. MTV''s just not worth matching and I too was there from day one. Now its garbage {not the band..lol} all day.. everyday.

I thought the M in MTV meant music. What has this trashfest got to do with music?

Everyone involved in this self indulgent piece of garbage should hang their heads in shame.

It has nothing to do with love, only ratings and money. The whole concept makes my skin crawl.

As Usual it has become quite Commercial in nature with less and less Music and more and more garbage being aired from Rap to *** as this will be a bi Sexual Dateing show how far will they sink is the only question to ask now.....

I use to want my MTV!!!!!!!!!!

NOW Radio is a better Option

What''s this have to do with Music Television. If you want your ratings back, start playing music videos again, remember what they are?
