MTSS was featured on ABC’s Nightline last night. They filmed us this last weekend while we were working on episode #16.

Congrats on the great press…seemed really well done and fair. I wish I had some good advice on how to deal with the hate mail, that sucks. The only time I got hate mail was one in 2001 and it ruined a couple days at least and I ended up making an entire art installation around it. You probably don’t have that much time!
SO, please continue producing MTSS, it is easily one of the best podcasts out there, and if you get picked up by a network, make sure you can still publish as a podcast (and with the video quality you use now) please! Every episode I think, “I wish I had been told that when I was a teenager…hell, I wish I knew that 5 years ago!” And of course, every episode I laugh my ass off.
I had to wait a REALLY long while for it to download (I hope it’s just me…), but the wait was well worth it. Nicely portrayed, I’m glad you all got your say. This reporting was much better (or maybe less biased?) than the “Mom uses Jokes…” piece, also from ABC. Go figure..
so this morning i was doing homework (around 4am) and watching world news now on abc. they had a segment on mtss and i made myself remember to look you up when i got to school in the morning….right now (still at school) i am watching ALl of your videos and am loving each and every one. keep doing what you are doing
Great piece! It is always nice to see some good press for MTSS and I’m glad they made the critics sounds pretty jerky for attacking Nikol as a PERSON and not as a purveyor of ideas. It is always nice not to come off looking like an asshole. And props to Guy for making good looking footage even though he doesn’t have even a fraction of the money they spent making this little late night human interest piece. And looking forward to the episode being filled!
I saw the Nightline episode and I just have to say, you guys RAWK. You’re the awesomest.
Thanks for doing everything you do.
Wow! I do not believe the positive response your presence on nightline is getting here. the show was totally biased toward you, completely uncritial and was basically an unpaid advertisement. This was not jounalism but advocacy. It was a free ride for you with a bunch of soft ball coverage from ABC. What did you do to warrant that? Pls. don’t tell me, I don’t wanna know.
Thanks for the introduction on Nightline to your podcast etc. Now I know the answer to the question asked so often since 9-11: Why do they hate us? You guys are like Exhibit A.
To Will-
This is capricious at best. MTSS is popular because it suits the common culture that bread it, not the other way around. MTSS doesn’t make America what it is, and hence you and I are exhibit A.
Yep, all the polls agree: the terrorists hate our sexual freedom. http://feministing.com/archives/007028.html
You know, I love MTSS. Even though I’m nowhere near a teen. My wife uses MTSS as an (optional) assignment for her intro to sociology course, and your work always gets the students thinking.
Yes, thinking.
Huzzah for you all.
Oh, and… @will: That is so 2003 of you.
Aw… Will, come on… I’m sure there are plenty more reasons why they hate us.
And which ‘they’ do you mean? My pet rat looks over at the computer whenever MTSS is on. But I don’t know if that’s hate or interest.
Visting the US only a few times every year, I cannot help being surprised that hate has become so prominent in the public discourse. Not only in the rhethorical question “why do you hate us?” (nobody expects an answer), but also on TV, the net, in politics and religion. Some of the public blog comments on MTSS are just sick, and I mean that in the clinical sense. I don’t understand how that is possible in a society that more than any other has shown how different cultures can co-exist.
MTSS is of course one of the reasons we love you.
I saw the night line show and you can deny it all you want but you clearly claimed that and cancer are a similiar sickness. this is not only inaccurate but offensive–to people with cancer. i am sure all pedophiles would like to be classed with cancer victims and that’s the point: one is a victim (of a sickness) and one is a victimizer (due to a charcter flaw). p.s. everytime someone disagree with you it isn’t hate speech.
Nikol: Character and physical attacks?
On the former, we don’t really know anything about you personally - just your video persona. So it’s a bit trite for anyone to be making judgement calls on your character, especially as a parent… Although the fact that sex education is so important to you only counts in your favor there.
As for the physical attacks - “my body size and my face” - those people are twits. You’re a total MILF.
Much love for you all, and don’t let hate mail get you down.
It is inevitable that satire may be factually inaccurate. The questions is, can you joke about a serious matter if that means you are delibertely inaccurate? Yes, you can.
However, the more sensitive a topic is, the funnier you have to be.
Just wanted to thank all of you for your excellent work. The sex education program in high school made me feel ashamed of sexuality. How can we hope to enjoy sex, whenever we have it, if we are embarrassed about it until that time?
Not trying to nag, but when is the next video going to go up? I thought videos were supossed to go up at the first of the month. I need my MTSS fix! =(
Nicol– You are a milf, and you’re also funny as sh**. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. (And why not get an intern to read your mail, btw? Takes the edge off when you only have to answer the real questions.)
will and huac– why do you hate our freedom? America was founded and made great by a bunch of racy, punchy, raunchy men and women, Myles Standish on up. You know who hates sex advocacy and doesn’t get cancer jokes? Ayman al-Zawahiri.
I liked the tone of the piece, although I watch the evening news so infrequently, it’s hard to get over the “what’ll those crazy guys on the internet think of next” angle that hovers over it all. You guys are the honest-to-god future, made by funny smartness.
