Blogging NOC07: More Mookish Behavior by MTV
By Jeremy | November 9, 2007
Tila Tequila has racked up more than 2 million MySpace friends but still hasn't found "the one". Now, she's ready to do anything to find him -- or her! This self-proclaimed "bisexual freak" has had her heart broken by men and women and she's tired of being alone. With our help, she's inviting 16 luscious lesbians and 16 sexy straight guys over to her place for A Shot of Love With Tila Tequila. Yes, it's time for Tila to unfurl her freak flag and find true love."Shot of Love" just became Exhibit A for those who think "Mooks and Midriffs" is a dated marketing ploy (watch Merchants of Cool on PBS.org). Tila is the consummate midriff flaunting sexuality and wax boy finds himself stuck in permanent adolescence. Meanwhile MTV continues to syphon off its share of the $187 billion teen spending market for corporate parent Viacom, this time exploiting celebrity generated online.

What male in their right mind would… oh, that’s right – never mind.

What I find interesting in this is the fact that someone could go from relative obscurity to national celebrity based solely on the phenomenon of online social networking. Much like the McDonalds Chicken McNuggets commercial filmed in Chicago and put on YouTube that got picked up by corporate, I think this is an indicator of this online generation’s critical mass.
