Youtube Girl Fights Inspire New Reality TV Show
NEW YORK (Disassociated Press) February 18, 2008 - Never one to let a topical social situation remain long unexploited, the Fox Network's reality TV titan Seth Gumbridge has announced the creation of a new reality television show derived out of the phenomenon of the outbreak of girl fight videos currently finding their way to the internet.
"The show will be sort of a marriage of Survivor, Big Brother, and The Contender," explained Gumbridge. "We'll put a large number of teenage girls living in one big house, and together, they'll form coalitions to lure, assault and batter other contestants. The entire process will be filmed and aired on twice weekly segments."
Unlike with other of Gumbridge's creations, with Don't Call Mom, the show's slated title, there apparently is no other point or ultimate goal, i.e., the crowning of a champion or winner at the end of the television season or seasons. "The gratuitous teenage violence itself, along with the connivances leading up to it, are the payoff in this show," Gumbridge concluded.
Gumbridge is riding the wave of yet another enormously successful reality TV hit, Are You Tougher than a Terrorist? (see Fox Taps Torture Talks in New Reality TV Show The Disassociated Press, February 18, 2008), which features contestants subjecting themselves to various controversial interrogational methods.
The body of Gumbridge's reality hits at Fox continues to grow, also counting now Make Me Cringe! (see Sex Crimes 'Expert' Lands Reality TV Series, The Disassociated Press, June 5, 2006), hosted by Owen Lefave, ex-husband of former teacher and child sex offender Debra Lafave, that features contestants competing to see which among them can subject themselves to the greatest degree of humiliation; Star School (see Garofalo, Kilmead 'Debate' Inspires New Celebrity Game Show, The Disassociated Press, February 28, 2003), a show that pits celebrities debating obscure topics of which they have no knowledge while being subjected to unsavory and disgusting distractions, and Chiller! (see Michael Jackson Interview Inspires New Reality Television Show, The Disassociated Press, February 6, 2003) a show in which contestants inhabit and populate the Antarctic in a competition to have Michael Jackson adopt their children.
