Reality Show Idea: Take 15 Bush supporters, send them to Fallujah...

[pacalo]

This idea came from "The Riverbend Blog", written by an Iraqi girl. She speaks about life as an Iraqi under American control. Most interesting is the fact that the American media is as transparent to her as it is for most Americans.

Furthermore, I don’t understand the worlds fascination with reality shows. Survivor, The Bachelor, Murder in Small Town X, Faking It, The Contender… it’s endless. Is life so boring that people need to watch the conjured up lives of others?

I have a suggestion of my own for a reality show. Take 15 Bush supporters and throw them in a house in the suburbs of, say, Falloojeh for at least 14 days. We could watch them cope with the water problems, the lack of electricity, the check points, the raids, the Iraqi National Guard, the bombings, and- oh yeah- the ‘insurgents’. We could watch their house bombed to the ground and their few belongings crushed under the weight of cement and brick or simply burned or riddled with bullets. We could see them try to rebuild their life with their bare hands (and the equivalent of $150)...

I’d not only watch *that* reality show, I’d tape every episode.

1. Oh, I totally agree with her. I don't have much use

for reality shows; I find them to insipid to be even remotely entertaining. But this one? This would be must-see TV for me.

...sound fascinating. I'd watch every damn episode.

5. LMFAO .....

Oh yeah .... I LIKE it ....

Perhaps the College Republicans could form a sort of 'BushCorp', and dedicate two years to living amidst the war torn areas left smoking by Bush's policies ....

9. am forwarding this idea to Gore's Current.tv too -- no doubt he already

knows about this Iraqi girl's blog, but just in case ... hey, it fits the demographic they want for that August 2005 launch!
