MySpace, Mark Burnett team up on political reality show


LOS ANGELES (AP) — The online social networking site MySpace.com and reality TV producer Mark Burnett are teaming to launch the search for an independent presidential candidate.
The political reality show Independent comes with a $1 million cash prize. But there's a catch: the winner can't keep the money.

The prize can be used to finance a legitimate run for the White House or can be given to a political action committee or other cause.

Contestants in the show, set to launch in early 2008, will meet the public and interact with supporters, protesters and others. An interactive "town hall" will give MySpace users and TV viewers a chance to rate their performance.

The show does not yet have a commitment from a TV network.

It's only a matter of time. Everyone can vote by phone...think of the ratings vs real election turnout.

It should be held more like miss America with a candidate from every state, yeah now we're talkin.

[FORD]

These "reality" shows have all been corporate media distractions to keep the sheeple from thinking about what's REALLY going on in the world.

I wouldn't trust them to pick a President anymore than I do PNAC or the DLC.

Is that how Bush got elected?

[FORD]

No, that was the Supreme Court.

Ya'll know that Jeff Probst of "Survivor" is hung like a horse right?

I hear Barack is the early favorite as he has crushed his opposition (a fan page on myspace, which he and Myspace have reclaimed as his own). Disillusioning idealists, step one to policital victory.

Necroposting this thread for the sheer bizarre fucking irony of it.

It may have taken him 10 years, but Mark Burnett - creator of "The Apprentice" finally got the reality show pResident he wanted.

Does that mean he can be tried as an accessory for all the crimes that Herr Cheeto will eventually commit?
