Okay so the networks are realising their new schedules for the coming fall this week. I always like to look at the new shows and see how ridiculous they are and bet how long they will last and how many idiot Americans will watch it. This new "reality" show on CBS absilutely blew my mind. The show called "Kid Nation" takes 40 children to an abondoned New Mexican townand the viewers will watch as they try to set up a new society without adults. (I couldn't make this up.) Reread that synopisis if needed. Now let it sink in for a inute.
Okay, you're back. Only in a screwed up country like Amercia could this be entertainment. There are people all over the world that live in abandonded cities and towns and fight everyday to survive. Do you think these people find this entertaining? In this country we have kids who for various reasons don't have parents and they struggle everyday to survive. Do you think these people find this entertaining? We have kids in this country who have two fully-functioning parents and these kids can't fit into society and control themselves enough to be allowed in malls, with adult supervision. Putting 40 kids into an abondoned town will turn into our society's nightmare. Everyone out there who already has stereotypes of the youth today in their mind, will only have these ideas enforced by what they see on this program.
I hope that either CBS comes to its senses and never airs this program, or America comes to its senses and no one watches this. Neither of those will happen, so I guess its up to me..................

I read about this one today on the internets. I hope a kid gets his head smacked in with a giant boulder like "Piggy." Maybe it will tell the network execs that "reality TV," although a giant cash cow, has its limits.
