Sunday, February 02, 2003 From Geese Aplenty, a fine place to go for well-written, occasionally biting, fun: Notes on an idea for a reality TV show. Premise: Orphaned children engage in brutal competition for the love of a rich, caring foster father. Title: "Who's Your Daddy?" Emotional notes hit: Cutthroat and tense during the episodes. At end, triumphant and voyeuristic as audience watches winner orphan go off to a life of comfort and security. Also tragic and bittersweet as other orphans loaded into vans to be sent into the foster care system, never to be heard from again. Addendum to above: Loser orphans get consolation prizes. Wool socks, Pokemon pez dispensers, and assorted kitchen appliances. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ And now, if you know what's good for you, you'll stop hanging around here and head immediately over to Mimi Smartypants' neighborhood where you can wade through a heap of entertaining digressions on the way to learning about her weekend in D.C. As the formerly svelte, now unnervingly paunchy Xander Harris once said (and I admit this is a quote I've been overusing a bit lately), "Smart chicks are so hot." rws 11:54 PM [+]
