That's an excellent response to the MTV bollocks.counter them like the Valleys are Here campaign is countering the mtv valleys bollocks

Right, so now we know the MTV bandwagon has rolled into the Valleys to make their new unscripted – but heavily edited – ‘reality’ TV show ’The Valleys‘, as a follow up to ‘Geordie Shore’. They’ve been busy tweeting and writing press releases about the area, but they don’t seem to know what they’re talking about.
In case you missed any of this, MTV has already talked about the ‘tranquility of valleys life’ and our ‘hamlet towns’. Pretty bizarre stuff, as anyone who’s spent more than 10 minutes in the area would know.
So we want to make sure that MTV doesn’t make any more slipups or give millions of people another bad image of the area.
That’s why we’ve started ”The Valleys are Here‘ campaign and website. It’ll be fun, but at the same time give a positive picture of Valleys life – so look out for a stream of films, pictures, stories and loads more.
Life here isn’t all rosy, nobody would say that, but we’re proud of where we come from – and want everyone to know why.
Lots of people are already on board with the campaign, but we need you to help us set the record straight.
We need more of this sort of thing, such debased visions of the nadir of humanity at its most shocking are far more likely to scare off the hipsters & yuppies than any talk of high property prices or crime statistics.
OMFG
It's pure schadenfreude on my part. I live in the least-cool part of London. It's going to be ace watching everyone who thinks Brixton is the centre of the universe burst blood vessels because it's not portrayed how they wish it was.
A better title might be "Made up Brixton"I wish it was, but there's a page set up on a casting site.

So, this 'below the river' . . . . .they going to film it all in the Rotherhithe Tunnel or what then?
There are many Brixtons
What?
Errrr... have you not SEEN Made In Chelsea? Durrrr! *embarrassed for you*I smell a rat..... Since when did "reality" involve a cast
WHAT A LOAD OF CRAP! 20-25 Yr Olds Only!?? WHAT POSSIBLY COULD A 20 YEAR OLD OFFER IN THE WAY OF ENTERTAINMENT!
It'll have as much to do with reality as Mickey Mouse. If it ever gets made, it'll go straight to some obscure TV channel and be widely ignored. Which is how it should be.Why is the criteria 20-25 Yr Olds??? And Why is there a cast?? Is this a joke? They should come and film my life for a week to see how REAL BRIXTON PEOPLE LIVE!
I could think of a few things..... </dirtyoldman>WHAT POSSIBLY COULD A 20 YEAR OLD OFFER IN THE WAY OF ENTERTAINMENT!
fewer words in capitals perhaps.WHAT A LOAD OF CRAP! 20-25 Yr Olds Only!?? WHAT POSSIBLY COULD A 20 YEAR OLD OFFER IN THE WAY OF ENTERTAINMENT!
