lord of the little fat kids

there's a huge uproar right now over a new program produced by CBS called "Kid Nation". the cut and dry of it? forty fuckin' kids between the ages of 8 and 15 jammed together in a little town in NEW MEXICO, trying to live together WITHOUT any adult supervision - all filmed so you can get your sick reality TV kicks, you piece of shit!

apparently, having no adults around led (WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT!?) to some of the children "accidentally drinking bleach" and being found with burns on their faces. not only that, apparently the kids had to put in 14-hour days, and CBS is under fire for breaking child labor laws - in NEW MEXICO (who knew they even had laws? i figured it was just an outlaw society). it also looks like the parents of these kids got paid off big time to ship their little tots off to the land of bleach and fire.

anyway, if this doesn't sound like the Lord of the Flies, i don't know what does. the only thing that surprises me is that these forty little fucks didn't eat the fat one. the only thing that remains to be seen is whether or not CBS will actually air this shit because everyone is protesting it. the other thing that remains to be seen is whether or not i will watch it. i'm still not sure.
