Rad Girls

Rad Girls is a stunt and prank television show which aired on the music network Fuse TV and has now moved to MavTV. The show's format is essentially a female version of MTV's Jackass, with three female performers: Ramona Cash, Munchie, and Darling Clementine, doing stunts and pranks that involve graphic female nudity, bodily excretions, violence and debauchery. According to the trio's MySpace page, Fuse has decided to go with exclusively music-based programming, thus not renewing Rad Girls for a second season. Over 4,000 ardent fans of Rad Girls signed an online petition to get the show back on the air, but their contract with Fuse ended in February 2008. Rad Girls Season 2 premiered on November 7, 2008 on MavTV, an HD network oriented for male viewers. The program has also aired internationally, on five continents: Australia; New Zealand; Canada; UK; South Africa; Brazil; Korea.
