game show

To create successful reality television, simply follow these steps:

1. Combine premises of other shows (preferably ones involving fat people)
2. Pitch to VH1
3. Roll around in your piles of money

I am going to pitch a show where fat people from Jersey live in a large house on a deserted island with celebrity alcoholics.

Tyra Banks judges their manners while Dr. Drew judges their cooking. The winner of the show (male or female) gets to marry Tila Tequila.

It's going to be called American Idol.

There it is. Now you've seen it.

No more entries will be taken for creepiest thing ever because we've already found it.

Don't bother sending in that video you made of a clown eating a baby. You know, that video you made. Well, it's not creepier than this.

I'm going to douse my eyeballs in Purell now.

Whaaaaaaat?

I would like to apologize to Japan. We make fun of your game shows a lot. They seem strange, pointless, and intentionally dangerous. I didn't think there was anything less logical out there. I was wrong.

This is a German variety show contest where the contestant is asked to identify the small Star Wars LEGO figurine by sticking it in his (her?) mouth while blindfolded. Way to go, Japan. You've been outweirded.

I have so many questions. First, why? Second, why? And lastly, how come no one told me that Kristen Stewart from Panic Room was still around?

Here's a potential Jeopardy prompt for you:

This traditionally-minded TV game show played with fire by using the website 4chan.org in a clue during a recent episode.

Um, what is "Jeopardy," Alex?

You're right!

However, what's not right is Jeopardy's assertion that 4chan is "known" for posting "images."  ("Images" was the correct answer for those of you who were wondering.)

The prompt is really vague.  Here are other answers I personally would have accepted:

• What are "Lolcats"?
• What are "Advice Dogs"?
• What are "photos of their penises"?
• What are "photos of other people's penises"?
• What are "photos of other people's penises that have been mutilated"?
• What are "Simpsons' screengrabs"?

You get the point.  There are so many wonderful things that 4chan is known for other than just "images."
