Surfing through the blogosphere tonight, I read about three different "reality" shows currently in the works:
--one in which a teenager with Goth tendencies was going to be transformed into a preppy
--one in which two rappers were going to move into a predominantly white gated community
--and a third in which Amish teenagers were going to be tempted with sex, drugs and rock and roll
So why not.....
-- a reality show in which Hasidic kids are taken to Chinese restaurants and tempted with trayf?
-- a reality show called "Pippi," in which one lucky girl is given a house and is allowed to live alone, with no parental supervision, going to school only when she feels like it?
-- a reality show in which people get to do all the cool things that test drivers do on TV car commercials and kill themselves in the process?
-- a reality show based on "Lord of the Flies," in which a group of children is left alone on a desert island and allowed to bully each other as much as they want.
-- a reality show which takes place at Chuck-E-Cheese and involves waiting for mothers to slowly lose their minds?
-- a reality show called "Plastic," in which people are allowed to shop as long as they want until they either go into Chapter 11 or are thrown in jail.
-- a reality show called "Baseball," in which George Steinbrenner gets to buy every player in the Major Leagues. (In the first episode, the team finds itself with two All-Star shortstops, Alex Rodriguez and Derek Jeter). Eventually, the team splits in two and plays itself for the World Championship.
-- a reality show called "The Passion of the Apprentice," in which a dozen would-be Messiahs compete to be the real Messiah. One Messiah is voted off the show each week, and gets dragged, beaten and bloodied up before being nailed to a cross. The show is timed to coincide with Easter, when the "winner" gets to come back to life and start his/her own religion.
CRAWFORD, Texas (Reuters) - President Bush will hold his first formal press conference of the year on Tuesday to discuss the situation in Iraq, where U.S. forces are battling both Sunni and Shi'ite Muslim insurgents, the White House said.
