This is getting interesting. MiD DAY has not only managed to shock the serious and the sanctimonious. It has made MTV VJ Nikhil Chinappa break into cold sweat and blog on ethics in journalism (sic). All this because we reported that a sex clip featuring a girl with a striking resemblance to Tamanna from the reality show MTV Roadies is in circulation. Chinappa has been posting his opinions on the MiD DAY site since then. Which is not a bad thing, just that the motor-mouth veejay would be better off talking music than trashing tabloids. Those of you following Roadies and Splitsvilla on MTV would know that anything goes in the name of reality TV. I remember one episode where an interviewee broke down after he was told that his girlfriend is a s**t. He was rejected for being faint-hearted. In yet another episode a girl got selected after mouthing the choicest abuses. Some criteria that! <img alt="" src="/imagedata/2009/jun/roadiemtv.jpg" border="1" /> Real deal? "Those following Roadies and Splitsvilla on MTV would know that anything goes in the name of reality TV," says the writer. A still from Splitsvilla 2 I am no fan of Sushma Swaraj who had clamped down on FTV and other channels for showing adult content as I&amp;B minister. But promoting promiscuous behaviour and making fun of women with small breasts on national television is the other extreme. All for a game of love.u00a0 After the Tamanna sex tape story, more clips featuring Roadies and Splitsvilla contestants or their look-alikes are being forwarded to us from various sources. As one Splitsvilla contestant confessed, "The show never quite ends. When they almost show you taking a leak on live TV, how difficult is it to do a sex tape." Something for the makers of Roadies to munch on. Till then Chinappa can brush up on his writing skills.
