Will 50 Cent Murk The Reality Show Catchphrase?
50 Cent's reality show, The Money and the Power, starts on MTV tonight, and I couldn't be more excited. OK, I could be way more excited. It wouldn't take that much, really. If you offered me half a sandwich that you couldn't finish I would be slightly more enthusiastic. Well, depending on what type of sandwich it is. Enthusiasm is complicated! BUT ANYWAY, I am very "excited" by the premiere of this show. It's like 50 Cent's take on The Apprentice, with one important difference. From the AP:
"Immediately when you say a reality show that has a business spin to it, they think 'The Apprentice,' and the difference is these people don't actually want to work for me," the 32-year-old said in a recent interview. "They have their own business ideas that they created and they're competing for $100,000 in seed money."
The difference is these people don't want to work for 50 Cent because there's not a lot of room for professional growth when you start as a 'blunt runner.' That's the only opening in 50 Cent's operation. As a 'blunt mogul', he's always looking for a good 'blunt runner' for his 'blunt empire.' Just kidding. Did you know that 50 Cent doesn't drink or do drugs? It's true. He's got to focus on getting that paper/developing those reality shows. You know who else didn't drink or do drugs? Hitler. Controversial.
But more importantly, there is this from the New York Post:
Like Trump's show, each week one of the (in this case 14) wannabe-mogul contestants gets booted off, and the winner walks away with $100,000 of Fifty's money with which to start a business.But this ain't no genteel Trump locale and Fifty's catch phrase is not exactly of the "You're fired" variety. Unfortunately, I can't say for sure that it's "Get the f*& out," because the screener they sent cut off the last five minutes, but a preview of the scene does seem that way.
Um, 50 Cent's catchphrase is "Get the fuck out!"? CRAMAZING. If that is true, we're done here. We can roll reality TV up in the rug, shove it in the trunk of the car, and dump it in the river. Because that's what you do with something that's great? Perfect. Get the fuck out.

50 Cents should gtfo my internet. As should MTV. And we need to get the petition to ban all spinoff shows going now before it's too late. Look what happened when we waited too long with Flavor of Love. VH1 is now on 3rd generation "who cares?", a feat previously accomplished only by MAD TV.

This is a message for 50 Cents(Curtis Jackson), et al. Well, good reality show 50, but last summer, I won the three option package (at Showcase of America)for modelling, acting and singing. Websites and some people say Showcase of America is a scam, but I am not satisfactorily convinced until date to the final appearance, in Toronto this year (2009), is innovated. However, if 50 Cents wants to make big business then let him and all those who have the means to do so contact me at this number, and we’ll talk about it. See if I don’t worth millions in either one of the options. Thank you. Tel#:1-(613) 422-3714
