This is quite possibly the biggest fail I've seen on television all year.
A new episode of this show called "The Dudesons" aired on MTV recently, and not surprisingly, it's created quite a stir. Here's the official episode summary:
The Dudesons want to know if they can hack it like the original Americans once did, so they have found a Native Indian mentor named Saginaw who has agreed to lead them through seven painful rites of passage. Ranging from a canoe ride from hell to a game of ball busting dominoes with totem poles--even a 911 trip to the hospital won't stop the Dudesons from pursuing their goals of becoming honorary members of the tribe.
Basically, these four Finnish dudes have to go through these phony rites of passage which include: wearing headdresses, "flying like eagles" by driving their SUV off a ramp, and catching fish in their mouths... because, of course, that's how real Indians catch fish, according to Saginaw. *sigh* AIM Santa Barbara contacted MTV about this, and here was their reply:
"We appreciate your recent feedback regarding “The Dudesons In America.” It is never MTV's intention to offend anyone. The series is about creating lighthearted humor, that at times, could integrate various themes as part of the overall stunt or prank. We take viewer feedback very seriously and thank you for reaching out."
