MTV Roadies/Splitsville India

As a kid I remember MTV as a music channel.....and then I have some faint memories of Malaika Arora....doing some raunchy dirty promos for one of her Mtv shows....but I never had an idea this channel would go this far...Today every tom dick and harry is on TV talking all meaningless crap....

Where is the dignity? Is the TV disturbing the simplicity of Indian life or is it vice-versa....OR yeah...right...it is a vicious cycle!!

I am shocked at the shows being aired on this channel these days...MTV Roadies/Splitsville/Gtalk...what kinda scripts are these..I would be lying if I say I do not like these shows...I like the concept- but hello, what about the presentation? Where is the censor board...or leave that aside, do the people who make these shows have any brains...any values...any thoughts for future of kids watching this show? Any sense of responsibility??

TV is a medium- it is a platform which gives so much power and fame BUT it comes with a social responsibility which these mindless people are just forgetting...

e.g. The MTV show recently had a task where the contestants have to jump into a swimming pool to splash water on the female models standing besides the pool. The purpose is to make the T-Shirts of these models transparent and see the alphabets written on these models' stomachs!
Someone must ask the producers of this show WHY ON EARTH THEY NEEDED TO SHOW THE MODELS IN BIKINIS BEFORE BEGINNING THIS TASK? WHY HE COULD NOT REPLACE THE FEMALE MODELS WITH BOXES WRAPPED WITH CLOTH?

Gone are the days when weekends meant Krishna doing his magic in Mahabharata or Uncle scrooge and his lui dui hui doing some exciting journeys...But today weekends are nothing but who gives more "gaalis" on roadies or who takes off how many clothes or layers of decency on splitzville...

I wonder if it is just me who feels the rush in my veins when witnessing the level at which our TV channels have gone down to....or there are others like me who helplessly see this degradation happening.......
