the invasion of reality tv continues unabated. the “dont feed the reality tv” signs apparently arent working…grr. anyhoo, cnn has an interesting run-down of some of the upcoming new reality shows. some sound stupid, and some sound (gasp!) kinda fascinating. ack! fuck, ill probably catch some of them just because curiosity is more powerful than common sense and good judgement. amongst the list are my picks for guilty pleasures…
> hit me baby has-been music stars compete against each other to show that they dont suck…for charity. i really just want to see wang-chung perform again.
> the scholar just kidding…this sounds boring. im all for intellectualism, and the shows all noble and whatever, but it doesnt make for good television. oh god, chad has to cram for tomorrows big exam, or he’ll have to go back to working at the sweatshop!
> fire me…please yea im watching this. seeing people be dicks so they get fired…good shit. its like a reality-tv version of office space. um, yeeeea…about those tps reports.
and last but not least…
> tommy lee goes to college ok, this looks like funny shit. c’mon…tommy lee at the university of nebraska. that makes for good comedy. its the motley crue version of van wilder. follow-ups should have stifler and johnny knoxville…
> new reality tv (via cnn)
Im dumbfounded as to why such a prestigious university such as the university of nebraska would allow tommy lee to make a mockery of education.
