Move over, "Jersey Shore." There's a new ridiculous MTV reality show in town -- and it has to do with the "Occupy Wall Street" movement. The network will debut a brand new reality program, aptly titled "True Life: I'm Occupying Wall Street" on November 5. Hey, at least it's better than "Teen Mom" and "Engaged and Underage."
MTV recently put out a casting call for the show and they've reportedly already decided on a few protesters. The show will follow Bryan, who is a prominent member of the movement as well as Kait and Caitlin, who are two college students also involved in the protests.
We're not sure how to take this new MTV news. A part of us is happy that they're actually shining light on an important issue rather than showing a bunch of people drinking and getting in fist fights (we're looking at you, "Jersey Shore.") But another part thinks they may just be doing this to exploit the movement and make a profit from it.
In any case, MTV already put out a small clip of the first episode, which shows Bryan and his fellow Occupy protesters talking about a possible eviction due to the protests. Check it out and let us know what you think of the upcoming reality show.

+20It's really neither. It is not "interesting" and there is absolutely nothing to exploit. It is not grass roots...it was concieved by Van Jones, the Unions, Adbuster, ACORN and other assorted left wing rabble. It IS everything they claimed about the Tea Party. The originals are more like the "useful idiots" Marx spoke about. Amazing how the press embrase them...gee...nothing fishy here....Wannabe hippies....President Obama's reelection committee.....Communists...So... thanks.
was no-hand-me-out. This was my own money that I worked for. I have never lived in the ghetto and I never been on public assistance. I am not crying about the rich folks; all I want is my money. The government took my money and I want it back. Who told them to steal my money? What did they do with my money and others who paid into the system? I guess it doesn't bother you because you never put anything into the Social Security System!
Honestly everyone, Media= B.S.. Surely, ppl have figured that out by now. Havent they?
Government can not give you free stuff, without taxing, that would me higher college funds, sales tax, and others.
I believe everyone would work and go to school, stop reliy on government money we
would have less taxes. That includes all government in congress, senators, and president spending money like no other.
It is called respect, people worked and donated to help others, sometimes people behind the scene took that money.
now I don't watch it anymore cost is more.
