I used the magic of Tivo to record the new CBS show Kid Nation where they dump 40 children between the ages of 8-15 in the ghost town of Bonanza in I-Forget-Which-State and leave them to form their own "Kid Nation" in 40 days. Given my usual position of shifting from mild annoyance to major loathing on the tinier humans one would have to wonder why I would bother to waste my precious Tivo resources on the show. Four words, my friends.
Lord Of The Motherfucking Flies.
Okay. That's five words. But my lacking counting skills or not that's why I wanted to watch the show. To see these kids acting like tiny demonic monsters, running around half naked, breaking glasses, and stoning each other with rocks while shouting, "Piggy! Piggy!"
Alas, that did not happen. I blame CBS and their cameras. They're trying to pull a wholesome heartwarming ABC Extreme Home Makeover out of this son of a bitch and it's not working. I find myself perversely sucked in by that makeover show because the stories of the families are so overdramatized to be tragic I would have to be the most heartless of creatures not to feel something for them. Plus their new houses are so kick ass to look at. I want one just so I can sell it for hella money.
I digress. Kid Nation is boring and so not Lord Of The Motherfucking Flies. It has been justly removed from my Tivo list and I won't watch it again until one of the events I've listed above occurs.
