The global movement against greed has been in the news a lot lately. The Occupy Wall Street protests have been going on for just over a month now, including dismal failures locally, but one network has seen fit to draw some profit from it.
In a rather ironic twist to the goals and objectives of the protestors, MTV has issued a casting call for Occupiers to be featured on a special version of it’s popular reality show, The Real World. It’s a bit like Jersey Shore, but I’m sure this will have more placards. MTV has issued the following casting call:
MTV’s Real World is seeking cast members to tell their unique stories on our show. If you are over the age of 20 and appear to be between the ages of 20-24, and the description below sounds like you, we want to hear from you!
Are you a part of the OCCUPY WALL STREET movement?
If so, please contact realworldcasting@bunim-murray.com. Your subject heading should be YOUR NAME and WALL STREET.
Please attach 3 RECENT PHOTOS and a brief BIO, including your full NAME, DATE OF BIRTH (for ID purposes only) as well as your CONTACT INFORMATION including PHONE #.
I can only think that the network has been inspired by the Hot Chicks of Occupy Wall Street tumblr.
