MTV Writes Books (…?)

by David Aragon

Just kidding, I even own several MTV books myself (”Real World” books, obvs). Anyway, plans were announced to publish an MTV travel guide, formally titled MTV Roadtrips U.S.A..

The book discusses each region of the country, offering local recommendations as well as general tips for potential travelers. For example, MTV recommends that you eat at Rafa’s Burritos in El Paso, Texas because the portions there are “literally as big as your arm,” and that you also call 800-FREE-411 instead of wasting your money with other expensive options.

Now, this story takes a weird turn (meaning it has a strange connection to “The Real World”). To find out what it is, click “read the rest of this entry.” See you after the jump.

Here’s the strange side note: To publish this guidebook, MTV is partnering with Frommer’s—the same company that hired “The Real World: Paris” cast to write the France travelogue during their season. These two companies obviously have a cozy relationship; could we be seeing more travel-inspired MTV reality? I’ll keep an eye out.
