   Reality TV is stupid

   Well, that title should get a reply. I did like Running Man the movie, but I think today's society (or some of it anyway) has become a bunch of voyeurs and wanna-be's, and that's why reality TV is so popular. I didn't watch Survivor, except when it was forced on me. Actually, to amuse myself, I started making up events and attaching names from the show and telling them people who asked me if I had seen the show the previous night. That was a lark - some people became visible upset or angered at what I told them. Personally, I've got my own reality to live with, and I would much rather spend it doing something that might get me on a tropical island faster, rather than sitting and watching people fight on one. As for this show, if it gets established, try throwing a real wanted criminal into the mix, see if you could get people to do some police work.

   Isn't that already "America's Most Wanted"? They just need to add a bit more web stuff to it, and they're all set. :)

   This game appears to be geared exclusively for the Internet. I think "Reality TV" is a bad description. Check out the website hideseeknyc.com. They promise that the web will make it a real-time viewing experience 24 hours a day. Thst sounds more intriquing to me than the traditional TV fare. The proof will be in the pudding. If the site content is engaging, I'll follow along.
