Kidding, right?

When I saw this trailer about the new MTV (=Moron TeleVision) reality series called 16& Pregnant, I thought it was a belated April’s Fool joke, a prank in the all new season of Punk’d, or the accidentally leaked notes of a heavily disturbed program planner who since been transferred into an insane asylum for the sake of his own safety and of those around him. But no. They are indeed “taking their stance on teen pregnancy awareness and showing the lives of six girls whose lives will be changed forever, due to pregnancy at such a young age.” Translation: riding the now almost still coattails of Juno and shamelessly using troubled people to somehow raise ratings.
