MTV hosts a show called 'The Debate Show', it appears it attempts to get legitemate experts to appear on a show expecting a legitemate debate and are then attacked by actors posing as their opponents in the debate. Scary that they would stoop this low.
Read the original story at http://neon.vortex.com/debate-fraud.html or the slashdot article on it at http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/06/20/190202.
I have done some googling and found this choice quote:
"This show is not "The Debate Show," as advertised and the name they use to procure panelists, but "Crossballs" a newly produced show for Comedy Central, owned by Viacom and MTV networks, and is a spoof of political debate shows that seeks to mock conservatives with actors posing as some of the panelists.
One such real panelist, who thought the show was going to be a serious debate show, was a conservative activist from California who prepared to appear on the show to talk about the 2nd amendment. Jim March, whose account we have attached, is a 2nd amendment activist and was mocked and ridiculed by a "psychologist" who said he had sexual issues and offered him a two month supply of penis enlargement pills if he gave up his guns.
Nowhere in the material for "The Debate Show" and the press releases for the upcoming "Crossballs" do they make the connection, or let you in on the joke that the "actor panelists" debate the real panelists, complete with props and "live feed" video designed to mock and make fun of the real panelists and their conservative views."
