TV producers need a reality check

There is something really asinine about the sixth edition of the reality show MTV Roadies.

There is something really asinine about the sixth edition of the reality show MTV Roadies. I have watched the show in its previous versions and found it interesting, especially the various tasks that the contestants are made to undergo to test their physical and mental endurance.

This edition however, is on a downward spiral as far as the tasks go. Some of the stunts are dangerous.u00a0

A promise of adventureu00a0 plus an opportunity for quick fame leads many to compete for a spot on this show. But being cool and being stupid are not the same.

MTV's other show Splitsville was demeaning to women.u00a0

Reality TV may be the new fad, but is the lack of concern for the safety and well-being of the participants, a trend we want to encourage?
