Manchin Seeks Cancellation Of "Buck Wild"


{Charleston, West Virginia}…Senator Joe Manchin’s office said Friday that he sent a letter to the president of MTV asking it to cancel the West Virginia-based reality show "Buck Wild" that's set to air January 3rd. Manchin's letter says the show profits off of poor decisions of the youth and plays to ugly, inaccurate stereotypes about the people of West Virginia. The network ordered 12 episodes of the show last fall, and a trailer shows the cast drinking and swearing, four-wheeling and fighting, even filling a dump truck with water and using it as a swimming pool. It was shot in Sissonville and Charleston.
