You have any doubt that a outrageous burst on a reality TV show, where camera crews follow two families around and hope to find awkward and outrageous interactions, is scripted?


I don't know, tbh. I'm not gullible enough to believe that reality tv is 100% authentic, that's for sure. But I don't know if I buy that they're 100% scripted either. I don't watch reality tv much, so it's not something I've put a lot of thought into.

I'm imagining that something like the God Warrior fat lady plays out like this:

Find a christian family that wants to be on TV. (Bonus when you get a fat mom with weird teeth and fat-slurred speech).
Find a "new age" family that wants to be on TV.
Tell them that acting out extreme stereotypes = big ratings.
Give them a few pointers on when/where/how to burst.
Profit.

(There are no ??? steps in this scenario)

Let's be honest, though. The reality is that "witty and scathing" would likely escape you even if the fire were plentiful.

I mean, witty, on occasion, is likely within your grasp. Scathing is probably even something you could conjure up if the situation required. But mixing the two together in a cohesive and effective fashion is just slightly beyond your ken.
True enough. I'm no Smash/BT/Elderon.


This is the first thing I have read on the Asylum in a good long while that has offended me enough to elicit a response.

How the f'uck did Elderons name get on that list?

I can't figure out how anyone remembers him. Didn't he leave about 20 years ago?

You thought you should have been named didn't you? Smiley: lol

Nobby, despite his lack of anger, was ever the best flamer.

Yeah, subtlety and innuendo are lost on some.
