I Wanna be a Hilton
From NBC: "Everyone's heard of the Hiltons, especially daughters Paris and Nicky, but what would it take to actually live like them?" I have an answer: act like an ass whenever possible and if that doesn't work, show your ass to any camera that is pointed your way. Of course, it would help to release a porn film of yourself first. In short, just whore yourself out to the media.
Reality TV has gone too far.
Since we are on the topic, I have a few ideas for reality TV series I'd like to see:
1) Surgeon for a Day - for people with no medical training at all (hosted by Jeff Probst)
2) The Intern - sort of like the Apprentice, but the winner gets to be President Bush's personal intern (hosted by Monica Lewinsky)
3) Prison Guard Survivor - half are guards; the other half are prisoners. I see a prison break or riot to the death (hosted by Martha Stewart)
4) The Cosmetologist - search for the best makeup artist (hosted by Tammy Fay Baker)
5) American Mime - the best mime artists battle it out for the imaginary crown(hosted by Joe Rogan)

Here's my idea for a reality TV show: Destroy Reality TV. Each contestant is assigned the task of infiltrating and disrupting a reality TV show.
ReplyDeleteFor example, on "The Apprentice," the infiltrator would swipe Trump's toupe and sell it on the streets of NYC. Or better yet, distribute Communist pamphlets.
Or on the "Be a Hilton" show, or whatever, the infiltrator would survive as long as she could, but when kicked off the show, leak a sex tape of herself shot in that same night-vision as Paris's famous tape; she would get bonus points if the sex involved one of the other contestants.
Hmm, yeah, I don't really see myself watching any of those, including the real one.
ReplyDeleteJust turn off the television when they are on, if more people would do that, then they would see that noone wishes to watch the crap.
ReplyDeleteJay, I don't really see myself watching them either.
ReplyDeleteGreat post. And did you know that there actually is a famous psychology experiment done in the 60's, closely analogous to your description of Prison Guard Survivor?? It's terrifying:
ReplyDeleteStanford Prison Experiment
Things got so out of control, they had to shut it down after only 6 days.
ReplyDeleteRe #2 The Intern - sort of like the Apprentice, but the winner gets to be President Bush's personal intern
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! I have been saying for 4-1/2 years that somebody should volunteer to give W a blowjob so we can impeach him!
LingLing, I can't believe that I forgot about that experiment. I never knew that name. Thanks for the reminder and the link.
ReplyDeleteLiz, Clearly, you've been telling the wrong people. On the other hand, he hardly deserves one.
ReplyDeletefunny, and you are crazy!
ReplyDeleteTheo, thank you for the compliment :-)
ReplyDeleteThe thing that gets me is that the reason these shows are so popular with the networks is because they are much cheaper to produce. The reason people watch them is because they have no understanding of how to live their own lives. Unfortunately, it includes me from time to time.
ReplyDeleteZF,
ReplyDeleteWhy? You know someone who will do it?
Nice post. Yea reality tv really has gone too far. Sooner or later writers are going to run out of ideas and create a reality show within a reality show...if that makes any sense..haha
ReplyDeleteHave you seen the show with Andy Dick called I think, The Intern? It's funny!
ReplyDeleteLiz, Actually, now that I've thought about it, I don't think I know anyone who would do it, but I am sure someone could be paid to do it.
ReplyDeleteMrs. Mogul, I haven't see that show. I really need to get cable :-(
ReplyDeleteG, those are all good ideas. I won't be surprised if we see some of them.
