"It was a boneheaded move. I would never let my child participate," said parent Ketta Brown about MTV's filming. "Hopefully this show will die a natural death."

"When it was so hot this summer and people asked why, I said, 'It must be MTV.' That's how ridiculous it has become," Candace Hurley, a mother of two, told the newspaper. "People now blame MTV for everything."
