Hate Your Hardass Parents? Auction Off Your Virginity On Reality TV
Even after I give birth to my first child, I’m pretty sure I’m going to tell my mom and dad that I’m a virgin. It’s like, my duty as the fourth child of two Hardass Asian Parents (who, as far as I know, are also virgins). It’s how we roll, yo. We’re expected to avoid dating but marry someone rich and virile, have babies without ever making sweet monkey love, and teach our kids to do the same.
So the first thing I thought when I read on HuffPo that an Aussie producer put together a cast willing to auction off their virginities to the highest bidder for a reality TV show was: I’ll be damned if there’s an Asian-Australian on that show!!! Hardass Asian Parents would go ape shit.
Apparently, all of the parents are pretty unhappy about the show’s concept.
From News.com.au:
“The hardest part is telling the parents, they hate me,” said [Director Justin] Sisely, who confirmed he had moved the sale to the US after receiving a warning letter from the Victorian Government.
A 21-year-old from Sydney, who uses the pseudonym Veronica, said her parents were furious when she revealed her plan to sell herself.
“Hate?” Parents that are “furious?” That’s nothing. If I told my parents that I was prostituting myself for both television AND some creepy virgin fetishist, they would tie me to the roof of their house, flog me with a spiny bat, waterboard me for 19 hours, gut me like a fish, mentally slap me for 14 days, and finally, disown me.
Now Sisely, the pervy producer? Sisely they would actually be mean to.

This is why I stopped watching TV. ‘Tasteless’ doesn’t even begin to describe this.
