Laguna Beach residents want MTV out

Not everyone likes the MTV show “Laguna Beach: The Real OC.” In fact many those folks live in the real town of Laguna Beach. The NY Times says they are now meeting about the show:

Three years after MTV set up shop here to chronicle the lives and travails of wealthy Laguna Beach High School seniors, whose concerns appear to center chiefly on sexual encounters and fashion accessories, some residents are saying enough is enough.

“This is not depicting our town the way it should be depicted,” said Lisa Arthur, who has two children in the school and one who graduated. “Our town is about art and culture, and school should be about education.”

Disgusted over the portrayal of their community and armed with unpleasant statistics, Ms. Arthur and scores of other parents settled into folding chairs on Monday night at a forum with candidates for the school board and let their questions roll.

Of course there are some fans. Charles Ahlers, president of the Anaheim/Orange County Visitor and Convention Bureau loves it. The article says Laguna is now THE destination for teenage girls to drag their parents to. CONTACT: Leave me a Houston or Texas media news tip | COMMENT: Click to leave your thoughts on this post here
