The Surreal World

So Real World DC is set to air pretty soon and I can heartily say I don’t give a shit. I had first heard that Real World was filming DC after someone sent me a link to the blogsite Anti-Real World DC, and prior to that I thought the series had long since been cancelled. I’m pretty baffled as to how that show still exists, considering how cheap and overly-saturated reality shows have become over the years. It’s hard to watch that show without predictably guessing what’s going to happen to each carefully selected character, and couple that with the ridiculous house and a general lack of responsibility and you soon realize how far from “real” the situation is. These days, a lot of 20 somethings are living in their parents basements fighting to keep their jobs, and they’re supposed to be entertained by watching people just like them be given an awesome home and pre-arranged employment? I suppose it’s not that outlandish to do from a reality tv perspective but you’d think that the Real World, the original reality tv show, would at least pay some level of respect to it’s original premise.
The only way I’d watch any of the episodes is if I found out one of my friends made a cameo appearance. Otherwise, I’ll be passing on this travesty of a television show.
By the way, if you want any spoilers or some “insider” information, some groupie somehow got away with making up a website with all sorts of information. Enjoy and udothedishes . . .

Agreed. I wonder what false impression people will get about D.C. after seeing this show too. It seems to be perfect timing however to choose D.C. Where else is everyone’s money in the country flowing into right now?
Well, not yet, that will be tax day but that money won’t even come close to accounting for all the spending.
John, you never cease to amaze me in how you find ways to blame the government for just about everything. LOL
This post quickly reminded me of my visit to D.C., summer of ‘05 to visit high school friends. On the dance floor a young man was quick to let me know he was going to be on D.C.’s Real World and that I should check out their “amazing crib”. Gotta love pick up lines.
hey, but you have to admit that the REAL WORLD was the first reality show I can remember and it was a lot more real when it initially started. I can remember real world 3 in london when this musician stayin in the house got his tongue bit off by a rabid fan! over the years the show has been saturated, but wouldn’t you have loved to be the guy that came up with the idea in like 1990? i haven’t watched probably in ten years, but still respect the creators bc they had vision, ya know?

It actually makes perfect sense, teens-youthful twenties populate the show, the same demographic that watches it. You grow out of it at the same time a new crop of tweens are growing into it. Yes it’s for and by douches, but I get it.
John was onto something before he infused politics into it. As he said about false impressions, I wonder what the young “douches” as Breaux described them will think of the nation’s capital after these 8 cast members get berated, beatup, and heckled? Actually, none of that will happen b/c the 4 bars they frequent are obviously preselected and if you’ve seen any of them, the douche threat level is ORANGE. For and by douches . . .
