Casts from reality shows these days including Jersey Shore have to sign a “VD clause” when they sign up to be on a series. The VD clause basically clears the producers of liability if the cast catches an STD while filming. The clause is called Health of Other Participants, and it reads, “Producer hereby informs me, and I acknowledge and accept, that the other participants have not been screened for any diseases, sicknesses or other health conditions (and specifically have not been tested for any sexually transmitted diseases) and I assume all risks of interacting with the other participants, including any consensual contact.”

 So basically if you wanna screw or if you catch something from the hot tub, it’s YOUR problem…glory holes included!!!

I’m shocked they don’t have a clause that reads “If it falls off, it’s your problem.”

    This answers so very, very many questions that have kept me awake into the wee hours of the morning. I wonder if they also have to sign a Liver Damage Clause?

    Think of how many discussions and speculative arguments would evaporate if all reality show contracts were open to the public!

    “I assume all risks of interacting with the other participants, including any consensual contact.”

    Um, shouldn’t all contact be consensual? Or is this some tricky wording to get MTV out of any date rape lawsuits that result in STDs?

    “I acknowledge and accept, that the other participants have not been screened for any diseases, sicknesses or other health conditions (and specifically have not been tested for any sexually transmitted diseases) ”

    I have a hard time believing that these folks are not screened for any “sicknesses or other health conditions”. Ya got the Mumps? Come on in! Chickenpox? We have a room for ya! Influenza? No Problem! I doubt it.

    @4 Robin– I am with you– I went back to college 10 years ago after a looooooong absence. I had a list of vaccinations I needed to get including Boosters b4 I could sit in the classroom. If no one could provide proof of immunization by the second week of class, you were barred from attending classes.
    I am sure they tested for meningitis–that was a hot issue a few years back—-How funny that Snooki had how many UTI’s while she was there??/ Sweet Jeebus what sort of birth canal is this kid coming out of??????

    Snooki’s doctor is better off performing a C-section so that baby doesn’t have to go anywhere near that vagina.
