Finally! Laguna Beach on MTV and VMTV!
If you can’t find Laguna Beach on MTV, then you’re probably not watching the 18 hours a day MTV recommends, but I forgive you. And don’t worry, because (and you probably should sit down for this) finally you can experience Laguna Beach on MTV and every other moment of the day! “I already knew that,” you say, “I just have to move there! Live the spoiled, Californian party life and become famous once and for all!”
Well…there’s another way that’s even easier than that! It’s called “Virtual Laguna Beach”. A 3D digital version of the hit show, offered by the virtual world There.com.
“Viewers can hang out at the beach or shop at the local surf store and interact with one another in ways that mirror the on-air program,” a press release from MTV Networks touted, “Just as the cast gears up for the winter formal, so too can viewers within ‘Virtual Laguna Beach’ prepare for the big night, find a date online and select the tux or prom dress for their onscreen identity.”
This whole thing, of course, really has nothing to do with Laguna Beach. On MTV, ratings for the show are strong, but as more kids delve into the world of the web, sites like MySpace are stealing susceptible young minds far more frequently than Laguna Beach. On MTV, no medium gets upstaged.
In a recent promo, virtual representations of the live-action representations of the real-life girls Kyndra and Cami, appeared …uh…live, in a virtual chat room to talk to fans of the show. While I missed the action (for now I keep my experiences with Laguna Beach on MTV and MTV alone), some 2 millions fans came to watch the shows two bitchiest characters virtual swim and virtual make-out. And anyone with a PC and a broadband connection can join them!
In some ways, “There” is an appropriate choice for “Virtual Laguna Beach,” since both the TV show and the virtual world are very attractive to teenagers. That and of course the fact that it’s just about as simulated as the show itself. But who cares? Finally, Laguna Beach on MTV and VMTV – I can practically feel the virtual sand in my underwear!
HECK YEAH vMTV!!! It’s a fun virtual online game. It
has virtual versions of Laguna Beach, the
Hills, and Pimp My Ride, and you create your
own avatar and wander out into the vWorld! It’s
free to sign up and easy to use. There’s
shopping, clubbing and even the ability to
pimp out your very own virtual ride. I much
enjoy hosting my own events and hanging out
with the new people I meet there. Since mtv
runs it, you also have the ability to see
various celebrities in game. Here’s a
quicky video in case you’re curious:
