On with the show.
I'm popping around Defamer and come across this post: Defamer First Look: The 'Kid Nation' Preview. What first strikes you is this picture:
Your first thought is, "What the hell is going on? Why are those kids wailing on this other kid and why am I not part of the action?" It's disturbing in a good way. You want to know why Yellow Bandana Boy (YBB) deserved it (because he obviously deserved it). The blog post portrays CBS's "Kid Nation" as a throw-40-kids-in-the-wild-without-supervision-and-tape-what-happens-when-kids-stop-being-polite-and-start-living-like-their-parents-lord-of-the-flies tasteful program, but it's actually something quite boring. CBS put kids in a ghost town in New Mexico and to see if they can form a workable society. As the host puts it, "Can they [the children] succeed where adults have failed?" Sure, when the incentive is a $20,000 gold star (Seriously. A gold effing star.) handed out at every town meeting. $20,000. Um, you want me to go running around the city naked with a ring-toss butt plug crammed up my bum? Because I'll do it.
Oh, and the picture: those kids that look like they're rushing to YBB to kick his ass are really just rushing YBB to hug him, because he wants to go home because his brother is in a wheelchair or dying or something silly. Can I get a 'vomit'?
