Kid Nation: WOW

OK, so who saw that new show Kid Nation? One of the craziest things i've ever seen, but also one of the best. A serious new way to exploit your children, but also a little more entertaining than watching 7 strangers living together on MTV. Here we get 40 kids from around the country aged 8-15 trying to survive while rebuilding an old western city.

The lessons they're teaching these kids are ridiculous. THey're split up into groups based on color. Each group is then separated into different classes. Lower class, merchants, cooks, upper class, and city council. I mean, what kind of business are they trying to teach these kids? I'ms till curious to see how they all are by the end of the show. We all know children are honest and will say some real shit from time to time. Especially views that have been thrust upon them by their parents. I'm just waiting for the little southern beauty queen to say she doesn't wanna lay next to a black kid cause she'll get dirty. Or the bullies to say something about the kid everyone thinks it's gay. Oh man, it could get so real. At least they were smart enough to make sound decisions when they have to choose between 7 more outhouses and a TV set. (they picked the TV)

It's pretty interesting to know that parents had to sign a 20 page contract that pretty much left CBS in the clear if anything happens to their kids. If they break a bone, or if someone gets eaten by the others. This could very well be Lord Of The Flies for the new generation.

Something else noteworthy is that now the kids are competing for cash. At the end of every episode the town council ( 4 kids selected at the beginning) have to choose someone to give the gold star to. And now after the first girl has won it they know that the star is worth $20,000. So there's going to be mad purple nurples and wedgies going around to get to the top. Kids can be just as bad as adults as we all know.

I think CBS has a winner on their hands here. Can't wait for Wednesday @ 8 this week
