sparkyboy puts the TV on this MTV reality show "Disaster Date", where a person's friend sets them up on a fake date with an actor, who's trying to make the experience as awful as possible. So, they don't know this person is an actor, and the show is about how long they last, and I guess the victim gets $1 for every minute they last (to a max of an hour) for their trouble.
The issue I see though, when its a guy being set up, the girls, being actors on an MTV show, are obviously going to be moderately attractive or better. Like the two I saw, one of them I recognized as Cameron Goodman from small roles in various crime procedurals (a sign this show might not work on me, because of my knowledge of cute obscure actresses), whom I've always thought was pretty cute, and the other one I thought was kinda hot also. So, it doesn't matter how crazy they are, I think guys are more likely to stick it out with some hottie.
I mean, I guess the friend setting the person up tells the show what really annoys them and tailor the date to that, but still! I mean, when it was a chick being set up, she quit it after like 20 minutes, but both guys in the ep lasted the full time. I'm actually trying to think if there's anything that would annoy me enough to just say eff it and leave, if the actress was at the very least, "geebs-cute". Driving slow? Insisting someone is in some TV or movie when I tell them I know for sure they weren't, even after I pull up imdb on my phone to prove it? Saying something like Hermoine should've ended up with Harry or Joey with Dawson?
Oh, speaking of a creepy obsession with teen dramas, there was this hilarious article in the NY Post todat about how some famous jailed New Yorker is a big fan of Gossip Girl to the point that its keeping him from suicide. Heh, the first line of the article was "blah blah says that the nubile young actresses of Gossip Girl are the only things keeping him from killing himself." How is that page 3 news?! Its like a full page article too! WTF?!
