Virgin Mobile USA just announced the launch of HYTV, the Homeless Youth TV Network, a new online campaign featuring such programs as “Meal or No Meal,” “American Idle,” “My Street 16,” and “Project Runaway.”

Focused on raising awareness of the plight of more than one million youth living on the streets, HYTV delivers a new type of reality designed to raise awareness in November for National Homeless Youth Awareness Month, designated by the U.S. Senate.

Homeless Youth TV is putting the REAL back into reality TV. Find out more about these shows by checking out these two promos for HYTV:


So how can YOU help?

Sponsor a “show” for $1 and Virgin Mobile will donate that dollar to one of their charitable partners and help give homeless youth the shelter, health care, nourishment, and future they deserve. Virgin Mobile will also MATCH the first $10,000 in total donations!

Check out their website for more info.

it kinda came off a little weird to me, i know what point they're trying to make, but it seems they're making fun of the situation, or maybe too light on the subject. eh, idk....

I love the idea....but i feel like they are mocking it. When its something as personal as this. I dont think it sould be taped and put on televison to entertain people. ehh?

i do agree that it comes off as a mockery but the video does have a point. Most of the reality shows being mocked are mainly about people getting what they want or them complaining because they may actually have to do work.

So I'm going to say i like this idea. :)

although i agree with the point of the promos, they seem glamorous or glorified...
i wonder what the shows will produce...
from someone whos lived on the streets, i'd never want anyone to view that time in my life.
its not glamorous at all.
its filth & should not be something to be taken lightly or should not be underestimated.

They are totally mocking it. Great idea, really really REALLY bad execution. (Hate on that joke, you know you want to) They should have made the voice less enthusiastic and have more of a mellow tone, it would have gotten more attention.

It's called sarcasm people...it can really drive home a point and stir things up...which it obviously did. Great concept.

as for the guy that says there'll still be people after nuclear war... but they'll just continue fighting. its a lot more harsh than all of us dying...
