CNN Cites MRC in Takedown of MTV Show About Losing Virginity

By Paul Wilson | May 25, 2012 | 10:37

A  A

On Thursday, CNN anchor Carol Costello credited Dan Gainor, the head of the Culture and Media Institute, as a leader in the charge against a new MTV series, which was supposed to follow virgins seeking to lose their virginity. Costello read Gainor’s quote on air: “This is part of the media attempt to mock people who have morals and to treat virginity like a disease that must be cured. She observed that “conservative critics fought back” against the show, forcing its cancellation.

The MTV series, called “My First,” was going to follow virgins preparing to lose their virginity. The casting call for the series read: “We’re looking for adults who are ready to go all the way. Let MTV come along your journey… as you try to lose your virginity!”

Its becoming more clear daily that the left/progressives think everything is about their genitalia. Truly frightening.

They act as if being faithful

They act as if being faithful to your spouse - even before you meet them - is a bad thing.

You know what I'd like to see?

Submitted by panzerakc on Fri, 05/25/2012 - 4:25pm.

A show about people trying to lose their stupidity.

The logistics would probably kill it, though. Stupid people don't seem to know they're stupid, as a rule.

Also, I'm pretty sure MTV would not be the best venue for a show like that.
