Default Reality Shows Hit A New Low

Has anyone seen Fox Reality Channel's "Smile...You're Under Arrest!"?

It's a filmed sting operation meant to capture and really embarrass people with outstanding warrants.

The producers send out fake contest winner cards and the ones stupid enough to accept become the victims of the prank and get themselves arrested.

They could just arrest them when the answer the postcard, but I guess that would make for a very uninteresting show.

I weep for this nation.

I'm hoping for "Smile...You're Dead." In this show, people with heart conditions are tricked into various fear-inducing situations. As they clutch their chests and slowly expire, half-wits across the nation smile with rabid glee.

Yeah, I think we are about a decade away from a real life version of "The Running Man". Hopefully Dawson will still be alive to host!

One of my long-standing dreams is to be able to see fights to the death from the comfort of my living room.

He's too busy hosting illegal underground death tournaments.

Default The Mole

The only reality show I watch now is The Mole. I was upset when they took it off the air the first time. Anderson Cooper was such a great host.
