If anyone is interested, here's a recent request for people I just got… I figured there might be some people here who'd want to take part. Please note that I have had no previous contact with them on this, and I can't vouch for what they're doing in any way!
Subject: MTV Documentary
Date: Tue, 11 Mar 2003 12:25:13 -0500To Whom It May Concern:
I am working on a show for MTV's News & Documentaries department tentatively titled The Social History of Piercings. The show will include a brief history of body piercing, but the body of the show consists of "regular" people showing off their piercings and talking about piercing in general.
Therefore, the show is only as good as the responses we get to our casting calls. As you probably know, the typical MTV viewer is not necessarily that into piercing, so our responses thus far have been interesting but similar in the sense that the piercings are pretty standard.
I am hoping that you may be willing to help us out with the casting phase of our research. We are looking for people bertween the ages of 18-27 in the New York and LA or San Francisco Bay areas who would be willing to go on camera to talk about their piercings.
For obvious Standards reasons, we cannot show genital piercings or Female breast piercings, but we can have people talk about them and their reasons for getting them. Also, we will not be able to portray heavy body modification for the same reasons.
If you think you may be able to help us out by posting something on your site, or even by directing your members to our casting call on the MTV.com website, please let me know at your earliest convenience.
Thanks in advance for your assistance.

And that's all that I know about that.
