Saving Country Music Helps w/ “Party Down South” Ads
Thursday night is the finale for season one of CMT’s flagship reality show series Party Down South. The show has stirred up quite a bit of controversy for its sexualized and graphic content, especially in its ads that have pervaded the internet and many of Viacom’s other networks like MTV and VH1, running during what is described as family entertainment and drawing the ire of many, including Ben “Cooter” Jones of The Dukes of Hazzard. Maybe even worse have been the static ads with little quips from the show and clips of the show’s participants that are all over the internet, and that CMT bombards Twitter and Facebook with during the airing of each show.

It recently came to light that one of Party Down South‘s cast members had been arrested for stealing a credit card, and that some of the cast may be unwilling to come back for a 2nd or 3rd season because the show’s producers have been paying them virtually nothing compared to their counterparts on Jersey Shore. So with a servant’s heart, and wanting to pitch in and make sure Party Down South sticks around, Saving Country Music thought we would make some ads for CMT pro bono that they could use to promote their show.
You’re welcome Viacom and CMT.

Is that one about ‘baby batter’ a real ad for this show?

Yep. And not even the worst one. Maybe not even the worst one tonight.

Jeez you’re right that is even more disgusting. We’re doomed.

Ewww, hadn’t seen that one yet.
I swear those ads, every time I see one it’s more disgusting than the last. And not even disgusting in a “risque, but probably appealing to certain people” way, but just in a straight out gross way.

It’s painful for me to think that somebody got PAID for thinking up that ad, probably more money than you and I make put together. Unless, perhaps, they’re just getting ideas from junior high kids.

Hilarious, especially the “South Carolina” one. 😀

It amuses me that they are not willing to do a second or third season because they didn’t make much compared to the Jersey Shore cast. The JS cast did not make squat for their first season or two, and it wasn’t until the ratings and hype went through the roof that they started making serious money (as they should have, regardless of how stupid the show is they made it what it is). I don’t know anyone who has even heard of this show here in Delaware.. people all over the country know Jersey Shore so well that it has created a stereotype of NJ residents!
That being said, both Jersey Shore and this (somehow) even more sleazy knock-off have been serious steps back in the minds of Americans.

Apparently they have all signed up for second season.

In the race for “lowest common denominator” is there ever really a winner?

I about lost it on the chlamydia one. Well done, well done.

Hilarious.
I regard the producers of these television shows as trolls.

Is it strange that I did not think none of this is funny. I think these reality shows expose a part of human nature I really could do without every seeing. That is, the level so many people will stoop to just to make a buck. That real popular one, Fear Factor. One time I saw someone eating crawling insects in the hopes of, (not guaranteed) winning money. Goodness!

It takes a fair amount to truly gross me out, but this pretty much does it.
I suspect that the producers of the Jerry Springer show may have started monetizing white trash chic on the airwaves, but they sure started a foul genre.
Personally, I would regard getting waterboarded as nothing more than a forced mouthwash over having to watch this garbage.
