The cast from MTV’s “The Real World” arrived a couple weeks ago or a week ago in DC. I think it is about time MTV picked DC, but I am not quite sure if they can handle NWtoSEs “Real World 2009” meaning “Can The Real World handle The Real DC?”
I am not sure when the producers plan to discuss with the cast the state of HIV/AIDS in the District (with 3% of DC infected with HIV/AIDS I pray sooner than later), or the dire meltdown of public education in the District, #1 for Teen Pregnancy in the nation, the poverty level, or just any public health issues in general.
BUT I know it will be on the horizon because of their partnerships not only with the Kaiser Family Foundation (thank you MTV!), their website “It’s Your Sex Life”. On this awesome website you can learn all about STDs, HIV/AIDS, and their most recent TV show “16 and Pregnant.”
If the cast would like to come on a Condom Distribution day I would gladly arrange the experience with the Metropolitan Washington Public Health Association, Department of Health, Metro TeenAids, various other stakeholders and of course. . . I will even wear my condom costume!
