BET's answer to "Jersey Shore?"

 

I am sure with BET it would be Hood Shore with some cussing and big women wearing spandex, barbecue and people chomping on ribs and oh some drive by shooting . It will be nothing like preppy white Jersey Shore.

 

PREPPY!? They are FAR from preppy if you know that they are considered embarrassments to the Italian community. Ghetto Guidos to be sure. But...I'll give you *some* merit giving that one of them tend to fit the "preppy" persona.

 

Even if they were in Italy, Italians wouldn't consider them Italian... Their ancestry is south of Rome - Naples to be exact (Northerners call Naples the armpit of the world), and consider 'southerners' to be gypsies...

While I was living there, the northern Italians even considered annexing the south out of Italy...:smt103

But Snookie and crew are basking in the Reality TV limelight and America is apparently eating that genre up......:smt102

 

I'm pretty much aware of that bit of history. But the most current season of Jersey Shore that already aired, they were in Italy actually and it's pretty much mind-boggling that they would still do stupid shit just to make $1.9 million a year, plus royalties.

It's not just Jersey Shore that's making Reality TV popular. It was popular way before that show took off. It all started with a talk show called Jerry Springer and from there you have Maury, Wife Swap, Joe Millionaire, Big Brother and other series that took reality TV by storm.

I don't know. My guess is that if you want to make some extra money nowadays, you can...

1. Turn your life into a sitcom or drama-comedy
2. Make a sex tape.
3. Get on YouTube and become an internet "celebrity".

It's funny how there are many ways to generate extra revenue, yet the pot is so saturated.

 

I heard some of those early shows are still on... Springer types... I know there will always be an abundance of fools willing to air their dirty laundry for 3 minutes of fame (or infamy), but is there anything left for the Springers of the world to exploit?

 

Mmmm, I would say...politics?

Maybe a Reality TV show starring Ron Paul? :smt026

 

Team him up with Herman Cain and they'd have American television on lock....:smt043:smt043:smt043:smt043

 

Hahaha, what the fuck can you call that show?

"Two Deluded Old Men?"

 

I was thinking something more dramatic "Klan & the Caveman"

 

Well damn! Looks like my noggin isn't geared for this bit of dramedy!
