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.

Wow, eight people on your F-list solicited to be on the smae show. That seems unusual to me.

I only know a little bit about the show. When I think about it, the first thing that comes to mind is imagining a commercial interruption where some conservative group urges you to vote against same sex marriage because the institution is too sacred and precious to pollute it by allowing two men or two women to make a mockery of the institution blah-blah-blah, thank you. Now, back to "Wife Swap"!

Of course, if actually asked, I'd be torn between instinctive revulsion, the desire to protect my privacy, and an urge to mug for the camera and see if I could get away with something outrageously countercultural/rebellious/satyrical. Er, after fully consulting with The Redhead, of course. And if I had anything close to Tony's talent, I'd probably do it in the hopes of being discovered.

Then again, would it be worth pairing me up with an illiterate Republican woman who smoked, whistled, watched Adam Sandler, and continually asked me, "Yo're from the west coast--whut's toe-foo?"

Heh. Maybe they'd swap me with someone who cleaned.
