And every day they vote one out of the park, right?

I read that MTV is casting in Zuccotti Park - site of the Occupy Wall Street protest - for people to appear in a new installattion of the station's show Real World.

And why not?  Reality TV shows have become our new circuses.  We watch them for the drama.  We watch them for the angst.  We watch them for the secret titillation of viewing how sick someone could go with hoarding, how delusional some housewife can be with her singing career, how inept someone can be with raising their children or their dogs, or how stupid criminals really are.

And we make competition out of them.  Outsmart, outrun, outlive.  Or out lose if it's weight, or out bid if it's an abandoned storage locker, or out scream if it's a toddler beauty pageant.  Hell, compete with others to find a mate, presumably one for life or at least until the next edition of People comes out.

So let's do that with Occupy Wall Street because it really isn't a solidified movement, just street theater of the narcissicist.  We can have contests - who can score a free Dunkin Donuts, how far someone can go without arrest, who can a new slogan on a piece of cardboard to get spotted by the media outlets  - to challenge each contestant.  The tribe will vote with down twinkles to  cast one person out of the park. 

Fuck it, they can even have dance offs.  With celebrities.  Because Hollywood and Occupy Wall Street are kindred spirits, populated by people desperate for relevance.
