Solicitation for Wife Swap

[tfabris]

No, it's not what the subject line makes it sound like. Someone from ABC-TV has been going around looking for people in the Filk community to participate in one of their reality television shows. I'm curious how far they're getting, and curious what the general opinion of this is from the Filk community.

What is so interesting or different about the filk community that makes ABC want to solicit us for "Wife Swap"? I just don't get television producers.

I figure it's gotta be one of two things: 1. They want to make fun of geeks. 2. Footage of people singing folks songs makes for good television.

Based on what I know of corporate TV, I've got a pretty good idea of which it's gonna be. I was just getting a sanity check from folks in the filk community.

Imagine how they're going to react when they realize what "Disney" scans to.

Or the number of parodies using Disney songs. "Curlers of Delenn", anyone?
