So I had this idea for a reality show because of all of the hardships the gov't is having with Rebuilding IRAQ's government and everything. So I thought, why not do a reality show called Rebuilding X (X being the name of a third world country) Basically, the idea is that in say a year, they try to rebuild a small third world country from poverty to a place of education, law, appeal, ect.. You find somewhere that the governing body would allow you to come in and do your thing to help promote wealth of living in the area. Some how incorporate competition/ different teams that represent different governing types or whatever. See what works best. Assign teams certain regions/areas and have them compete for other prime areas like lakes, river areas, cost lines, ect.. Don't flame me, I thought it would be a good idea.
I'd like to see a possible development of multiphase implosion devices that can incinerate clothing off woman an make all of them naked.
there was a smaller version of this in the uk called 'challenge Anika' not much the same, but challenging celeb to do good work and get it all done for free. She did some amazing things. meanwhile the USA gov. should pay. war criminals. http://www.ksw.org.uk/stalbans/early_spring.htm "Early Spring Romania Orphanage Appeal Pupils from King’s St. Alban’s Junior have been raising money in aid of an Orphanage in Romania. Bruce Vaughan, of the charity Romania Challenge, visited the school in October. He works on behalf of the orphanage that was featured in the TV series Challenge Anika and was invited to visit St. Alban’s by one of the teachers, Beryl Wilson, who visited the orphanage in 1996. Many of the young people Beryl met then are now reaching adulthood and the charity is finding ways of settling them in the community. One of their projects involves setting up a farm and Bruce asked the children to raise money to buy chickens. The children set about raising money through running cake stalls, sponsored skipping, raffles and a variety of games run during their break times. Bruce came back to school at the beginning of February to collect a cheque for £1409.62!! He reckoned this would buy about 650 chickens and challenged the children to work out how many eggs they might lay in a year! "
They flew Anika around in helicopters and gave her that snazzy buggy thing though. She wasn't totally without help. Anyone who turned her down for help would look like a stingy areshole on national tv, too. Different kettle of fish really.
well the show Quigly mentions will be on tv and presumably they'll also get snazzy copters anyway whatverrrrrrrrrr talk to the hand I do not watch reality TV................... :bugeye: errrrrrrrrrrrr
Rebuilding "X" sound excellent! My only suggestion would be to remove Hollywood completely. No camera, no commericals, no announcer saying, "STAY TUNED FOR THE NEXT THRILLING EPISODE!" Just help out a third world country.
The whole point of reality shows is that people love to see other people LOSE. That's why American Idol always throws in a few contestants who are so bad that they haven't got a chance in hell of winning, but just don't know it. The audience loves to see them make fools of themselves and then to see the look of abject humiliation when they're told how bad they are. If you were going to do it with countries, you'd have to have a competition among different countries, and you'd have to throw in a couple that are absolutely beyond help so everyone can hoot at them.
It isn't as much about the losing as the drama. People love to watch people get betrayed, lied too, "played" and watch how they react. That is called drama and people love it.
speaking as an American, I agree. And I think that the US gov't has even has even aknowleged their status as such, in finally agreeing to follow to the Geneva convensions (edit: RE: Guantanimo and "Illegal Enemy Combatants"). If not adhearing to them was unconstitutional, and now we are going to follow them, what does that make our actions over the last 5 years, in terms of international law? Given the fair success of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, I think this could be do-able. Pump some of thse advertising dollars into rebuilding a village! Team up with Habitat for Humantity and Sears, and you're good to go.
