Yes, more MTV crap

They keep coming back, those psycho producers from MTV! I've gotten my head back on straight and done the right thing by giving them a definite no to being part of their little circus. That doesn't mean they've backed off. Just the other day, they were in the cafe with a random assortment of hipsters and beautiful kids they seemingly assembled from off the street to be in their show. They were loitering in and around the cafe, cameramen in tow, crowding the joint during our busiest hour of the day just to get shots that made it look like these random kids work for Nasty. They did this at the record store across the street as well. My boyfriend said that the producers went back there and demanded that the scruffy guys behind the counter shave off their nasty facial hair, wear some name-brand shirts and trucker hats (are those even cool anymore?) and basically just present themselves to be, well, different people while the cameras are rolling. Now, this place is not Empire Records. It's more like the shop in High Fidelity, if you wanna make that kind of comparison. There's no glam at this record store. The guys are aging, unhip, scraggly and withdrawn. I don't know if an Ashton Kutcher costume is really gonna do the trick. This may be why the producers suggested that they might bring in their own set of "workers" to be on duty while filming is taking place. In other words, MTV would hire sexy actors to play record shop employees in order to make their reality show more appealing. Should we at Nasty at least be flattered that they haven't suggested doing that to us?
