It's not going to get better any time soon.  The perpetual hassle of writing up these annoying ass little programs must fall on a poor little excuse for a human.  What exactly is so real about Survivor, or Real World, or Road Rules?  Not much of a damn thing except that they're not computer generated.  Beyond that, we're just looking at a group of people paid to play a part.

A true Survivor would introduce flesh eating diseases, high explosives randomly placed about the island, rigged to motion sensors, and various other means of wiping out the supposed 'survivors' until there is but one left.  And when s/he walks up the ramp to claim the prize, a last trap is set off and if they can get away from it, survive it, etc, they win. 

Of course, most probably wouldn't notice the small print at the bottom that signs your life over to me to do with as I wish.  *laughs maniacally*

The recent incident with the 'bomb' scare and the [Adult-Swim] cartoon characters has just reaffirmed my belief that the general populous, or at least the ones that count, are totally retarded, or just not fit for the job.  The situation was handled extremely badly.  Boston, may their black Yankee hearts burn in hell, is the biggest of the chest thumpers at the moment.  Come on...  Anyone with a brain could see that it was a prank, or at least NOT a bomb.  Boston even expects the Turner Broadcast Group to reimburse them for the money lost when they fucking shut down the city. 

Guerrilla Marketing is a great way of bringing the product to you whether you want it or not.  Be it the little Moonanite lite bright 'bombs' or the near pathetic Truth campaigns.  Truth uses it's information wrong.  It's not personal enough to actually shock the public into quitting tobacco.  Hell, it's not even enough to make me flick the ash off of my own smoke.  As far as I can see, it's a good thing delivered horribly.  The answer?  New marketing strategies that embrace a new, extremely personal direction of advancement.

Here's an example.  Say that they are targeting an age bracket of 16 - 30.  To begin with, you wouldn't flat out attack a smoker's habit.  They get defensive and are liable to get violent.  I know I would be.  To get around this, post the benefits of quitting smoking.  Show the ACTUAL lab results and comparisons of a smoker and a non smoker and then an ex-smoker.  People would listen to camel joe more than their own conscience if they thought that they were benefiting from it.  Once you have their attention, don't start attacking quite yet.  Let them see what their insides look like, let them see the true negative side effects of smoking, not just these drug addled statistics that they keep putting out. 

"Smoking Kills More People Than Murder."  I saw that a while back on the Tele.  I suppose it's true, but it's simply a whisper in the wind compared to what hell I would rain down upon the heads of those who would stand between me and my nicotina.  ^.^
