The show is a disgrace and Shain Gandee’s death should seal its fate

Shain Gandee, one of the stars on MTV’s “Buckwild,” was found dead in his car just hours ago. He was 21 years old. The Mayor of Charleston, West Virginia, believes this tragedy should be enough to convince MTV to pull the plug on the show.

In a statement cited by TMZ, the Mayor of the town where “Buckwild” is shot says that MTV should no longer compromise everything for ratings, and just pull the plug on it already.

“Of the few cast members on the show already two have had legal issues and now one has died. The show only enhances the negative stereotype the Kanawha Valley already has. I hope the show’s life is short,” the Mayor says.

At the moment, production on “Buckwild” is halted. MTV has issued a statement about Gandee’s death but, so far, has said nothing about plans to continue with the series after a while.
