What saddens me most? Some halfwits actually applied for this believing it was serious. I was tempted to ring up and break out my German porn star voice, but common sense prevailed.
Seriously, though, it’s getting more and more that you’ll have to shoot me before I’d appear on reality TV
Edit: If you read all the way through, you realize it’s actually a fake show, and it was a survey to see how far people would go. It’s not like a show like that would actually get the go-ahead from a TV company, anyway. Fear Factor probably barely gets it.
The concept behind Survivor is good, but nowadays it seems to be one big soap opera moreso than anything. (At least, thats what I’ve heard. I don’t watch it myself.)
The real sad part is that this didn’t come to pass in the U.S. first. I’m shocked the UK beat us to the punch. So much for being #1 in everything including lacking morals/decency. The whole concept is horribly disturbing and anyone that stupid should be put to the flame. Idiots are fun to make fun of, but if they go over the top, then it’s time to step in and regulate.
Hmm … I feel my IQ draining at just the thought of that. (Incidentally, on the crappy school comps, it took slightly longer than it took to read the whole thread before the page loaded. ^_^) I need to create a character dumb enough to properly express how MORONIC this is.
Psh, if they’re stupid enough to do that for money, then let them. They’re doing the human gene pool a favor. While they’re at it, get the producers to try it, too. ;p
