Help Wanted: New Ideas and Fat Slobs need only apply.

So for the last few weeks, I was thinking of becoming one of these Joe-Bachellor-Midget-Marrying-Temptation Island dwellers, only to become thier president. Showtime is currently launching a reality show based on none other than a mock presidential election, with a $200k prize. Not that it's not a bad idea, but like a Nader canidacy, it still takes people's mind away from the real election, much like the way American Idol takes away from actual music.

Although the idea that a group of producer's thought that it might be a wise idea to give a forum to a group of 12 nobodies that haven't a clue, or too much of one, the end result, like the rest of these shows, will of course be pure humiliation for a few cheap laughs. Maybe not. Of course, who knows what will happen by April 9, the postmark due date for the show.

I still think it would be a good way to get some views and points accross, although, probably the wrong forum in which to do so.
If I can just get myself to a video camera, there might be something to it. maybe the revolution will be televised, or maybe it will just be played for laughs. Any Thoughts?
