Cannibals!

The Sicilian has a unique approach to the world, as you may remember from our conversation about Zombies.

Last night he saw a commercial for a new reality show following “People who work out in gyms!” No, I am not kidding. Granted, it was on some channel no one watches (FitTV or somesuch.)

And he said, “Why don’t they come out with an interesting reality show.”
And I said, “Like what?”
And he said, “You know, something new, something really good. Like Cannibals!”
And I laughed.
And he said, “Or lepers!”

Seven cannibals, picked to live in a house, and have their lives taped. You know, it does sound interesting. Come on, cable TV producers. You know you want to pluck this man out of his mild-mannered librarian job and put him to work, don’t you?

Oh, I’d seriously watch that.

I’m assuming they eat each member who gets voted off?

(or, rather, voted in?)

Admit it–pretty soon we will have a real Running Man TV show. (I’m talking the brilliant book by Stephen King, which was LOOSELY adapted in the Arnold movie). And we will watch them.

Hey! C’mon Chami … your Sicilian is a protected species. You wouldn’t want to see him eaten alive by the Thing from the Media swamp, would you?
