Unreal Reality TV




There's a new show on called Black White where two families switch races. Apparently network TV wasn't satisfied with just switching wives (though from what little I saw on the promos, I wouldn't have wanted either the husbands or the wives back – even Jerry Springer wouldn't touch any of 'em with a ten foot pole) and now a white family is given a sever tan ala Black Like Me and a Black Family is following in Michael Jackson's footsteps. I hope someone warned the white family what became of the author of Black Like Me... I think Michael has grounds to sue. At any rate I am not going to dash out to buy TIVO.

Ugh, gross, Phosgene Kid!

Please, please, please consider removing that grotesque image!

When I think about what a handsome tyke he was... :'-(

I do wish the networks would stop trying to outgross each other (both figuratively and literally, not including the moolah) with such horrid ideas. Well, okay, maybe the ideas aren't horrid per se, but then they always try to stir up the contestants/participants in such demeaning ways. Ick!

He is freaking scary! I was so pissed when he got off, but then again what God fearing person in America with morals wasn't upset!

No worries, he is in Bahrain - they catch him molesting children there and his head is going to be up for sale on E-Bay.

I don't think anyone with children in the family would allow him near their house, unless they planned to try to sue him later. Hopefully next time they'll all get their story straight.

I think the people that come with these shows ask themselves, "What Would Jerry Do?"

I met someone on the mountain who said the show was interesting. I'd like to be made black for a few days....though out here it's more progressive, so I'd want to go to Texas.

Phosgene Kid, I am deeply saddened by your intractable stance on removing that foul image. Therefore, I have decided to resort to that weevil tactic women the world over and through the ages have used, the power that no man could ever refuse: tears.

:'-(

Have I convinced you yet? ;-)

ROTFLMAO!!

*unseemly dancing ensues*

Thank you kindly, sir. I think you have saved some of your many fans from stunted growth... or something. :0)

I would like to add that I never have 'hissy' fits but I do enjoy many bouts of 'hershey' fits. ;-D
