MadMONDAY - "Incest is Hot"

The byline of this blog you are reading is "No more silence. No more shame."  The story below is NOT at all what I had in mind when choosing such a name. 

"Step Right Up to MTV's Incest Plot":  http://www.cnsnews.com/commentary/l-brent-bozell-iii/step-right-mtvs-incest-plot

"For those who predict the coming collapse of Western civilization, there's always MTV for proof. At this year's Television Critics Association summer tour in Hollywood, MTV put on a panel discussion for the press with the cast and creators of a forthcoming series called "Happyland." The female star of the show, actress Bianca Santos, announced the new MTV motto: "Incest is hot, and we're going to have fun!"

(Apparently, we should not be outraged by this.  After all, it's just a "hook" to get people to watch the show.)

"It's too bad horrible plotting devices like this can't just get rejected in the germinal stages at MTV headquarters before the show is made. But MTV will keep pushing social norms to the "edge" and beyond, until there is no "edge" left to exploit."
