Midwest Teen Sex Show Breaks Out Of Midwest

There's a new Midwest Teen Sex Show, on "Sex, Drugs & Alcohol":

They also were profiled recently on Nightline, which is the kind of thing that makes me think the world is worth saving. It's now a place where a little group of friends from the middle of nowhere (media-speaking), with few resources except their talent and determination, have in just one year gotten a significant online audience plus attention from the biggest outlets. Even better is that when distributed via blogg, their work and ABC are experienced in almost exactly the same way, with no indication that ABC has more authority. (Note the director of MTSS makes a point of their high production values.)

The video clip with more authority is the one that annoys me by making me watch an ad. I forget how this system originated, but there must be a reason.

Also, the ABC guy seemed REALLY awkward talking to them.
