A question

If you were offered a chance to be on a "reality show" on TV, would you do it?

Yes, I'm asking for a reason... :-P

ETA: Doesn't involve eating bugs as far as I know. They just knocked on my door yesterday. They're coming back today to do a screen test...

I, for one, would jump at the opportunity to be on a reality show (assuming of course that it doesn't involve eating bugs or whatnot ie Survivor or Fear Factor). And I wouldn't do it for money or anything like that (although a cash prize would be nice) but because it's an opportunity to get out there and educate people. It is obvious from the plethora of reality shows out there that America is eating them up. And they're eating them up because of the conflict. If I could be on a show like that and be able to talk to one person about my feelings on equal rights for same-sex couples, think of all the people that would be watching that conversation. Sure, I've got some crap from my past I wouldn't want to talk about, but I'd take that chance. Go for it! Tell all the people who sit at home under their delusions of fear and protection and morality that they've been spoon-fed by Bush that they've been duped...Or at least take a chance at winning some big bucks. Plus you'll have all of us here on your flist cheering you on! And I'll even start watching reality tv if you tell me which show it is!

That's exactly what I was thinking, actually! The reality show is related to the concept of "suburbia", and I'm SO not a typical suburbanite. Add to that the fact that I live in Texas, and I think it would be interesting to be on display as the lone left-wing person in the neighborhood! I feel like I could be a good role model, maybe have a positive impact.

Of course, there's always the chance I would be edited to look like a pretentious asshat. :-P
