| O&A Board Regular Registered: Nov. 00  | ::I was going to just delete this and forget it, but I'm so bored, the tooling might be entertaining.:: Alright, we all agree that war is a bad thing, right. People die, things get blown up, people who come back mumble to non-existent people while selling pencils on street corners, etc. But, war does a lot of good things too. It creates strong bonds between the people who participate. War takes young kids and turns ‘em into men (well, the ones who don’t get turned into hamburger anyway). It creates a strong sense of national pride. It revitalizes the economy. And war inspires new technology. So, in a time when we are quickly moving to a world without war, what will replace this tool of history and impetus of change? Once again, as in everything in life, television holds the answer. The latest from the creators of reality TV is “War!†It’s a combination of all your favorite reality programming. From Junkyard Wars to Survivor, all your favorites are represented as every country sends its best, brightest, and most entertaining to compete in this yearly event. You’ll enjoy watching hundreds of contestants from each country compete for national pride and billions of dollars in prizes. First up, inspired by Junkyard Wars, the Corp of Engineers is replaced by a bunch of automechanics and other garage inventors as they compete head on in such competitions as “Build a bridge to carry an Abrams tank over this river†and “Demolish this Buildingâ€. Then, inspired by Survivor, watch as victims of boat sinkings and airplane crashes try to survive in a remote location. After that, enjoy the fun of Big Brother as prisoners of war are forced to live in spartan conditions of a prison barracks. Who will be the last person driven to attempt escape by running into No Man’s Land to be “mowed down†by the guards? From the creators of MTV’s Fear, watch as contestants must negotiate their way through such terrifying locations as Vietnamese style tunnels. Inspired by Fear Factor, contestants will have to undergo such challenges as eating ants to survive, hiking through raw sewage, and who can stay the longest in the tear gas room. Mixed in with paintball battles, flight simulators, battling giant robots and hand-to-hand combat this promises to be the biggest multi-night production in television history.

Plus, it makes it that much easier for the swinging dicks of society to feel important. Plus, living in the US, even when we lose a war (Vietnam), it's not all that bad.

It wouldn't surprise me if there was a reality-based series in producton that had something to do with war - Boot Camp already touched on the subjuct (sans actual combat).

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Nov. 00 | Actually Spit, they were supposed to be making a game show about Bounty Hunters where a contestant would have to run around the country and avoid capture for a period of time while being hunted by bounty hunters. Another one had a cast member running around while people tried to get the "reward" for finding him. Kind of a gameshow version of "America's Most Wanted". Never heard what happened to them. Maybe that would have been funnier if I ever watched a singe episode of ANY reality program...
