Is there any way you can possibly nail these jokers with the anti-spam law that was recently passed? What they did to Jim March sickens me. :barf:
 
Err... can you fill me in on what happened to Jim March? I don't understand what you mean by "here we go again"

Well, I don't think this will be like the other one. This time they actually specified the channel and the show. I've seen True Life, it's actually a very good show.
 
I tend to agree with SoCalGeek. If it actually is for the True Life show, then it would be a great opportunity. True Life focuses on the subject matter and people associated with it only; their own personal stories, beliefs, observations, etc. about the subject. No real commentary from the MTV people, and they don't seem to "spin" the story.
 
a response about MTV being antigun...

Thank you very much. I can assure you that this film
is being very cafeful not to take any political
stance. It is genuinely just interested in the
different types of Americans who own guns.

The MTV Story Maybe True

I was at the Second Amendment Sisters Rally in Washington D.C. and I was talking to Sarah Roush (Miss Teen New Mexico) when some free lance vidiographers came by and did an interview with her for the porpose of getting it on MTV Miss Roush is also a junior rifle shooter with a few NRA titles under her belt.

I have missed whatever happened previously but does anyone know when this will air? Apparently there was an episode on Comedy Central that I also missed. I have to say Reno911 and The Daily Show are hillarious and anyone invited to appear for an interview on said daily show should know that it's strickly for laughs. I am amazed at the people they get who don't yet know it's all a gag, albeit at their expense. I could barely speak for laughing if it were me.
 
They are going to bring in Micheal Moore to edit what you say to make you look like a deranged madman. :D
 
Targetshtr,

You need to read the thread from Jim March. He was not invited to be on the Daily Show. He was told he was going to be on a "serious debate show" on MTV Networks. Key words there....SERIOUS DEBATE SHOW.....not some deranged circus.

I love comedy central as well, but I have refused to watch it since this thing happened.

The disrespect and dishonesty that they have shown forces me to watch other channels, or better yet, turn off the TV.

I.G.B.
 
If any show on MTV networks is remotely unbiased, it is True Life. It isn't a bad show and in my estimation, it could be a great opportunity for RKBA. The Miss Teen New Mexico sounds like an excellent idea. Whether we like it or not, we have to be represented by someone who is beautiful to be effective on a station that thrives on superficial content.
 
Yea, I missed it. I never heard of 'Crossball'. Must be a take-off on Crossfire I guess. It sounds kind of like the one on HBO last year called Ali Baba or some such. I feel for anyone on those shows. Some have clearly been set-up like this case. While I don't mind being kidded I would probably react badly in a situation like that. Sometimes you just don't have any choice but to take hostages. hehe
Then there's the one on MTV called Boiling Point where they see how long people can go before blowing a gasket. If it were me I'd surely wind up behind bars.
 
Since the Jim March incident, I have removed both the Comedy Channel and MTV from my programmable remote.

There are too many other things I can use to occupy my time than watching a hack job disguised as a debate.

How did I miss all of this?!!?!

Did this piece of crap air yet? It would sure be nifty if we could find a way for it not to be aired.

:fire:

It hasn't aired yet. There's wrangling on this going on between Peter Mancus (my lawyer) and their lawyers.

Short form: their contract with me ("release") ain't worth beans as it was obtained fraudulently.

IF they air this turkey without my permission, it's gonna be lawsuit time. And as a PROFESSIONAL activist in this very field, damages are gonna be wild.

But I'd much rather they just not show it. It was uuuuugly.

:fire: :fire: :fire:
 
Just a thought,

There is a possibility that this might be a good thing. If the right ladies stepped up to the plate (smart, pro gun, and attractive) this might be a boon to the perceptions of shooting in general... as well as the ugly realities (enlightened people waking up and defending themselves against what most others don't like to think about: assault, robberies, rape, murder...)

You can't deny that guns are the great equalizer and that women old OR young often need some help, particularly when they're of that 18-25 age group - young, away from home...

I know that Paxton Quigley is probably out of the age bracket but this might be a good thing to forward to her... She could probably network some good options for MTV to interview, including herself as a respected authority figure.

I read all of the stuff Comedy Central did to Jim March - it is unconscionable. But I'm hoping MTV sheeple could get past the "Oh Dear, She's Got A Gun" aspect and get to the meat of the debate: Cops can't defend you, you have to take care of that yourself.

MTV is guilty of glorifying the gun culture while simultaneously vilifying it; this could be their big chance to present the TRUTH.

I'm probably overly optimistic on this one but there's always hope.

Just ask Oleg to forward this to his photo models :p

I have no idea where he finds so many attractive women with guns :what:
 
he didn't say they had to be "attractive" , just between the age of 18 - 25.........:rolleyes:
