... I never thought about advertisements, let about wars between them. :jaw-dropping:

I feel wicked ideas this way come.

Quote from: Opaopajr;833491I only saw an episode of it and it was an erratic mess. She'd vacillate from flirting and laughter to tears and rage. And the crew of male and female love contestants looked like they were so fame hungry they just needed a lone broken bottle for a bloodbath.

...!

Quest! Be the camera crew and bring a 24 pack of long neck beers. Love contestants all flirt for the star's love — as she flirts with everything that moves — and the last one's standing with an unbroken glass bottle move onto the next episode!

Moar quests!

My wife is a smart woman with a professional career - gawd, she has entire SERIES of "Say Yes to the Fucking Dress"and "Nineteen Fundamentalist/Abuser Kids and Counting" saved on the satellite box...

There's an old Paranoia adventure called Miami Lazer, where the troubleshooters are basically sent to film an episode of Miami Vice.  Points for style and camera presence; surviving the stunts is just a bonus really.

Your idea sounds like a fine 21st Century update to the whole idea.  There are so many concepts to choose from too... you just have to watch TLC for a week.  Consumption of psychoactives will help...

Quote from: Almost_Useless;833800You stumble upon a plot by contestants on The Biggest Loser to kidnap someone from My 600 Pound Life.  Do you help the TBL crew with the logistical nightmare they've begun or the 600# right to be "free"?

Reading this I had a vision of a future where the biggest freaks, the losers and the reality stars are a resource fought over, like medieval slaves or serfs. TV networks hire slick looking young men and women straight out of business school as interns, arm them with fast cars, chick MP5s and bad suits (no bullet proof vests, they'd clash with their look) and let them carry out raids on other networks to kidnapping celebrities, sabotage filming of the popular shows or generally cause mayhem.
Of course with interns of no military skill there are going to be a few failures. And that's where you hire adventurers, free agents who don't care about network loyalty and do audience capture and raids for a living. And their exploits can be filmed and run as authentic murder-hobo action/comedy!

Add a rebel faction of insufferable pseudo-intellectuals who refuse any electronic entertainment and commit sepukku if they even gaze on a TV monitor and you are good to go.

Call me a wuss, but I think I just hang around with Swamp People and just hunt down gators all day.  Sure that is all they do, but for some reason you just keep on watching.  It is like fishing, but with gators without letting the gator go.  It is just safer that way because if the humans become idiocity it would be the safest place to be.

Ah, but will the Swamp People be Naked and Afraid? And what will they do if they get visited by Paris & Nicole?

This thread lacks:

World Star Hip Hop
Rap music
The Wire
Inner City Riots (based entirely on protester misapprehensions)
This Guy
The First 48
All My Babies' Mamas
Kim Kardashian, Bruce Jenner, OJ Simpson, and Kanye West (run a search for OJ Simpson and Kim Kardashian for some truly funny prison stories)
Telemundo & Telenovelas

Et cetera. Way too white. Needs a lot more diversity.
