The Ultimate Reality Show

Everyone's been cashing in on the election "craze" with beer commericals featuring fake debates and so on. So much in fact, thet it seems like they actually think people are going out and voting on the first Tuesday of November. (Which they should.) Which is a perfect time to launch a new reality show following President Bush and Senator Kerry on the road to the White House.

Yes, whatever's left of a private life will be exposed for an overly eager public that gets excited about practical anything expect the weather in the Artic. (It's cold there. All the time. That's why the Weather Channel never talks about it. That and the fact that no one lives there.) Cameras will be poking their noses into the every day struggles of our President and his opponent, as they run the most negative campaigns since (ahem) 2000.

Family members will be grilled on awkward and ultra-personal questions, while President Bush answers the question everyone wants to know: If you eat Heinz ketchup, are you some kind of Satan-worshiping, child-eating member of the liberal media? (According to Fox News... yes.)

In the end, I want everyone to watch these two candidates, one of whom will represent the USA for the next four years, and realize just how truly screwed we'll all be no matter who wins.

Sounds like a good idea. I'm sure FOX or UPN will run with it. Maybe you could have wife swaping or something with the presidents too. Or maybe they could be stranded in the outback and then one person will be voted out of the country! Or maybe they should compete for the love of a bachelorette who will get a million dollers if she can convince them that she's really poor! Maybe instead of elections we should use reality shows to find our new leaders?! (sarcastic statements of course!)
