MTV’s "The Real World" 1998)- She starred in MTV’s controversial
and over-the-edge "Real World" and now she is talking
directly to your middle school children.

"Real World"
was an unscripted show that placed seven people who didn’t know
each other into a house together and then filmed them. The footage
was edited down into a program that has run on MTV for several
years. Choi was in the series that was based in Seattle. The program
focused on people’s relationships and, of course, if it was MTV,
that meant a heavy dose of sexual talk.

Jim Metrock, president
of Obligation said, "Last year, Channel One ran a contest
for children to win tickets to the raunchy MTV Video Awards. Channel
One announced this February that they were collaborating with
MTV on a drug special which was absurd because MTV has, in various
ways, promoted drug usage among young people. And now they hire
a reporter whose main claim to fame is that she was on a vulgar
MTV reality show. Channel One wants to be more like MTV and that
is simply more bad news for children who are forced to view Channel
One each day."

More on Ms. Choi
and the New Channel One soon.
