Hey guys,
MTV has called me on my cell today about this new show called "Scarred" and they will be filming my friend and I next week for the 2nd episode. The producer wanted to know if I knew of any other crazy mother fuckers that would like to be on the show and I said "FUCK YEAH", HGF would be perfect!
So he sent me this email to forward to you all:

What's up everybody. My name is Justin, and I'm producing a series for MTV called "Scarred" We've been searching far and wide for any videos of people and injuring themselves, and we then interview them and get the story behind their scar. We are looking for some gnarly clips, and I know they are out there, I'm just looking for the right place to find them. The show has been highly anticipated and the pilot turned out to be pretty cool and we're looking forward to what's to come. So if you guys have any good clips, please contact me at
[email address redacted]So contact that dude and tell him "MR. SAFETY SENT YOU". He'll set you up. Trust me, it's legit.

Ask them... I'm just the messanger

01 February 2007, 22:22 UTC#9
A messanger should always be informed about his message.
01 February 2007, 22:25 UTC#10
I e-mailed him.. he's pretty cool I guess
01 February 2007, 22:27 UTC#11
Here is his e-mail to me
This should help you know what he wants,
Jayden, what's up man. I'll try to explain more thoroughly. Basically with every show, we do about 5 -6 featured stories. For example, I found this guy on the pilot who was skating and broke his leg so bad. The clip is so dramatic and when his leg snaps, every person I know who's seen it just cringes. Then there's a lot of screaming and yelling. THe clip is just awesome. So from there I went out and sat down and interviewed him about his day. About how he feels about skating before, after, you know, just get the full story of who he is all around.
From there it was edited down to these sick segments. To be 100% honest, I thought the show was going to be super cheesey when I first started working on it. But it took it's form and now it's a good 3-4 minute segment in which we go further into the clip. We usually ask for more supporting footage so that we can fill the gaps. It has a quirky but very squeemish side to it. You want to look away but you can't. There are good laughs in there as well.
What kind of footage do you have?
01 February 2007, 22:28 UTC#12
Just talked to him, looks like he doesn't want self inflicted stunts Image file not present in the recovered backup

Most Dangerous" shows.
01 February 2007, 22:30 UTC#14

I wouldn't set you up for failure, cause that would make me look bad
Image file not present in the recovered backup This could be a very nice opportunity for someone and I've seen a lot of great clips on here before.

Oh well, worth a shot.

Our airbag clip got shot down

QUOTE
Boner,
you're insane, I've seen the airbags knock a friend of mine out cold who I was driving behind. Not cool!
I honestly have to run that one by my boss. If you have any other footage in which you or one of your friends got a scar, let me know. That probably wouldnt' pass through our standards department.
Thanks

Just a reminder to those who might have forgot, MTV came around a few years back wanting footage for a jackass spin-off show. They offered zero compensation and no credits. The only reward was "getting to be on national television".
