This Won't End Well: MTV Casting Show about People who Lie on the Internet
LatestPiggybacking on success of the maybe-real, maybe-fake documentary Catfish (spoiler alert! Someone lies on the internet!), MTV has begun casting a TV spinoff of the show. So if you or someone you know is about to become entangled in a web of lies, if you’re maintaining multiple fake social networking accounts or pretending to be a flirtatious yet innocent 18-year-old Asian girl so you can mess with your married creep of a frenemy, MTV wants to film you doing your thing, and then document how angry the duped will be. There’s no way that this doesn’t end with someone getting gif-ably punched in the face on camera.
The film Catfish documents one young New York City man’s relationship with a family in Michigan, a relationship that begins when a child art prodigy sends him a painting of a picture he took. Nev Shulman befriends the girl on Facebook, then befriends her mother and father, then her suspiciously sexy half sister Megan. Nev’s all like “a/s/l?” and Megan’s all “lol omg rofl” and soon they’re in internet-love. When Nev begins suspecting that Megan is a big lying liar, he and his friends travel to the Midwest to confront Megan, because the best way to deal with possibly deeply disturbed individual is to go to them. Go to them like a moth goes to a flame.
