mtv gone too far

The big question around town is whether or not DJ AM’s show, Gone Too Far, will air or not. An MTV spokesperson told Entertainment Weekly “no decision has been made yet”.

Personally, I think it will be hard to watch because of the nature of DJ AM’s death, but truthfully, I really think the show should air because it will send such a powerful message–and DJ AM’s death will serve a warning to scare kids straight.

And, as for the kids wanting to dabble in drugs, this show will be like pre-hab…watch and learn the consequences if you start using.

Sad story, but if this show was made to educate kids, it will certainly serve it’s purpose.

    The only message kids will get from airing his show now is even if you screw up enough to od, they’ll still put you on TV.

    Does he have a wife or kids that could benefit financially from its airing? If so, air it. Otherwise, no.

    Hey, if he has a wife and or kids they’re going to need the money.

    Mr. D, he wasn’t married and to my knowledge he had no kids. One of the things he was depressed about was a recent breakup.

    I’m sure that he had so many issues to deal with from the plane crash: PTSD, survivor’s guilt, etc. I read that he was “begging” his doctors for anxiety medication.

    What is the show about? I think that would have something to do with whether it should be aired.

    The show’s sort of like an intervention show. He’s a recovering addict going to kids to help them get them off drugs…

    He was the role model and expert…and he fell off the wagon. I think if they air the show it will send a powerful message to show the dangers in drug use. It sucks he went like this.

    If kids want their pants scared off they can watch A&E’s Intervention. I don’t think this show should be aired, I’m sorry he died/committed suicide according to recent news, but he’s not an example.

    It would be in poor taste to air this show… let the man rest in peace and let it be.

    I think they should air it if the family feels it acceptable. He is an example. Maybe not the TYPE that other people are so used to fawning over but his struggles and issues with drugs were real and he is an example of how drugs can tear a life apart.
    Unfortunately his PTSD and anxiety contributed to falling down the slippery slope of drugs and recovery.
    Stop denouncing him in his death and let people learn from his mistakes and his lessons. His death is a tragedy- not because of his celebrity status or what not, but because it truly depicts the struggle and stigma that many recovering drug users go through in society.
