That's Not A Life, This Is A Life
Somoene over at ONTD posted that they have a friend who works in casting for MTV and is looking for people to apply to be on the new season of True Life, along with a list of the new season's subjects. You can head over to livejournal to see the whole list/apply, but here are some of my favorites:
I'M ROBOTRIPPING/SIPPING LEAN
I'M PLACING MY BABY FOR ADOPTION
I'M A FRESHMAN
I DON'T LIKE MY BREASTS
I LIVE IN DUBAI
I'M STUCK AT HOME
I CAN'T CONTROL MYSELF
You should be on this show. You should move to Dubai and stop controlling yourself and be on this show.
Fair enough, MTV. Those are stories that people experience. But I think you missed a few obvious topics that we can all relate to, and I would like you to add these to next season.
MY PENIS IS STUCK INSIDE OF SOMETHING
THERE IS A BOMB IN MY HOUSE
I LIVE JUST OUTSIDE DUBAI, ABOUT TWENTY MINUTES OUTSIDE OF DUBAI
MY PARENTS NAMED ME DANITY KANE
I PEE TEARS
I'M A SOPHOMORE
It's basically ridiculous that I'm not the Vice President of Programming at MTV at this point.

My roommate is working on "True Life: Insomniac" as we speak. Apparently, MTV options out this show to another production company.

wow what a fucking casting call. the show would be riveting...
"Hey, so why are you here?"
"I habitually abuse Dextromethorphan. You?"
"I'm somewhat thin. Well, lean. I'd say lean."
Score = 0
MTV pays independent production companies to produce almost all of their shows. I don't know if it's better or worse. On one hand, these awful ideas aren't directly theirs, on the other, they bought them. and probably thought they were great.
