There are certain people in society who believe that most violent criminals are not responsible for their actions. Through pressure exerted by an unjust society, good people simply make mistakes. These people also believe that sexual predators can be rehabilitated and that terrorists should enroll in yoga to overcome their issues.
I say, let's test their theory. These enlightened souls should put their money where their mouths are and adopt a criminal. This would make a great reality show. Every willing family and individual will get their chance to pick and help relocate a deserving Gitmo prisoner or death row inmate. Instead of drab cells and intolerant guards, these newly free individuals will get to live in basements and apartments in nice places like Vermont and San Francisco. For the lucky families, this will be just like adopting a puppy. Well, minus the risk of having your house torched while you're handcuffed inside.
The second season can film a lot of nice scenes in cemeteries and courtrooms.
And even better, the possibility of a spin-off. A family of criminals adopt an Ivy-League overachiever and teach him or her the family business. Guaranteed family bonding and violent outbursts. And wasn't that why we watch reality tv in the first place?
ReplyDeleteI am thrilled to have followed the bounteous bloggings of Steve Nizer. Not since Narareth have the blind been given sight, the deaf hearing and understanding and the mute a voice to follow.You are a gift worthy of devotion and adoration. What's a Reality Show?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sonja. It's nice to be able to develop a supportive audience for this blog. In the 2012 elections, we hope to use our growing influence to endorse political candidates and transform the television landscape in rural Maine.
