Having led the music video revolution in the 1980s, MTV is leading reality television mediocrity. Here’s a few interesting recruitment drives MTV mentions on its Web site.

Do you see God? “Have you had a vision or a spiritual experience that changed your life forever?”

MTV wants to hear from you. However, there’s one small catch: you must “appear to be between 16 and 30.”

So, it appears if you are older than 30, under 16 or perhaps have a few gray locks early, it doesn’t matter if Jesus Christ brings urgent news about humankind’s fate. In the final days, your on-screen presence could cause a ratings dive. But if you are fortunate enough to be between 16 and 30, or have managed to retain your youthful charm through the wonders of Botox and plastic surgery, then feel free to notify MTV if your morning’s toast resembles the Virgin Mary.

Calling all future Chinese celebrities: Since anyone who has seen “Serenity” knows China is destined to be the last remaining superpower alongside America, MTV is placing a call out to Chinese-American TV personalities. MTV apparently is putting out its own channel, MTV Chi, to highlight Chinese-American culture. Japanese, Korean, Taiwanese and other non-Chinese nations need not apply.

Calling all lifers: MTV also is looking for “True Life” participants, and what says more about true life than a methamphetamine addiction? In addition to your usual run-of-the-mill American soldiers going to and coming from Iraq, MTV is looking to spice “Life” up a bit with stories on Staten Island girls, sumo wrestlers, “sugar daddies,” meth addicts, geeks and outcasts. Respondents could fit into all of the above categories at least once.
