crime and punishment, reality tv edition
We personally can't wait to see what the Real World: San Diego-ers get up this evening. Shoot a little H and knock over a bank? Robotripping and arson? Whatever it is, we know these kids will remind us what having fun is all about-- getting effing effed up! Yeah!
Speaking of reality television, the scifi channel has decided to enter a dog in the shark-jumping fight. Their show "Mad Mad House"s conceit is practically fool-proof: put a few freaks in a house with a bunch of 'normal' people; film the ensuing shenanagins and hijinx. No word yet on how this differs from Simple Life or Average Joe 2: Pathetic Pile-O-Poo.
What could be interesting is watching for the reactions of the various subbacultcha communities represented on the show: naturists, wiccans, vampiric uber-goths, voodoo enthusiasts, and modern primitives. I'm sure that each of these "alt" lifestyles has an online community who will earnestly catalogue every slight and prop they feel that their peeps get on the show. Oh look, there's one now, and the show doesn't even start until March 4th!
