How about that game show that comes on every night at six on almost every station where they pick a person at random out of the audience, track down & interview everyone he or she’s ever had sexual contact with, perform an IRS-style audit, or stick a camera in his or her face right after they’ve been told that a family member has been abducted, raped and murdered? First prize? I don’t know - maybe a pastry in the green room on the Today Show. ---

I’m pretty sure I got that originally off of [http://www.memepool.com](http://www.memepool.com) some months back. After some slackjawed reading, I bookmarked it immediately. I think the secondary page devoted to Nasubi achieves even more creeping-out effect than the popularity of Rapeman. I kept wondering, what if he hadn’t won any food contests? Would they have simply televised him starving to death? Surely not, I thought. Then I reread the page, and…well…I’d _like_ to think surely not. But… ---

I would just like to take this time to apologize for my small contribution to reality television- I was a production assistant for the Dewey Beach casting of _Love Cruise_, to air on Fox this fall. Quietgirl and I are very, very sorry and we’re never going to do it again. ---

I just don’t get why they don’t show some of those people who actually figure out they are involved in a prank like on Candid Camera. The SpyTV on NBC on July 17th really had us on the floor rolling around laughing our guts out. Those poor office workers, oh my! ---
