A fake news panel debates whether dating reality shows set impossible standards, until the discussion about contestants turns into a heated on-air argument.
0:11 I'm Juliana McCanis, sitting in for Clifford Baines, who is regaling the interns with tales of his days at sea. 0:17 Reality shows like Flavor of Love and Rock of Love are more popular than ever, but a new study by the American Media Institute suggests that these shows may be setting unrealistic levels of skankiness for our nation's skanks. 0:29 Yes, every night skanks across America are watching reality TV skanks hanging off of stripper poles and vomiting into hot tubs. 0:36 Oh, look, the average skank can't keep up with that. 0:39 And statistics show that only 2% of skanks will ever even ride in a stretch Hummer limo, let alone half out in one. 0:45 These shows are not negative, they are empowering. 0:47 Absolutely. 0:48 Oh, come on. 0:49 They are. They teach young skanks that if they really try, someday they could take a crap on the floor of a beautiful mansion. 0:54 Morley, these are basically teaching a skank to believe I have to drink Jägermeister shots out of another skank's infected double pierced belly button, or I'm not good enough. 1:02 Well, if these show, if these shows make skanks feel bad, then skanks can change the channel. 1:07 Now, Leslie, you've written about your own experiences as a skank, isn't that right? 1:10 Yes. 1:11 Oh. 1:11 You used to be a skank? 1:12 Yes. When I would turn on the TV and see a skank on a dirt bike in a tube top, mini skirt, no underwear, trying to win an exclusive date with a C-list celebrity who wouldn't even remember her name. 1:23 It hurt because I knew that I could never reach that level of skankiness. 1:26 That's ridiculous. 1:27 That's extreme. 1:28 Some say one of the more damaging aspects of these shows is that they teach skanks to talk shit about other skanks, 1:32 No. 1:32 to call each other fake, to steal each other's leather boots. 1:35 Spit in each other's faces like Punkin did when 1:38 Exactly. 1:38 New York called her a motherfucking whore. 1:39 Yeah, skanks need to learn to support each other. 1:42 Because the baby daddies ain't gonna stick around after the baby's been whore. 1:44 Well, then it follows that the FCC 1:46 Wonderful. 1:47 should cut off all shows that pit skank against skank. All contests gone. 1:51 Look, Leslie, I know she had a bad experience. 1:53 Yeah. 1:53 What? 1:53 Come on. 1:54 What? You don't know me. Don't act like you do. 1:57 Step off, Leslie. 1:58 What? 2:00 Step off, bitch. 2:01 What did you call me? 2:02 Now hold on, she called you a ho. 2:03 What are you gonna do about it? Step up. 2:04 She is calling you out. 2:06 You a ho. 2:07 You a ho. 2:08 You a ho. 2:08 So I'm gonna step up and go to your seat. Yeah, get it. Get your 2:15 titties out. Get your titties out.
