American Idle
I have an idea for a new reality show!
American Idle
Instead of finding America's favorite new singer, its goal is to find... a writer.
Starry-eyed hopefuls compete for a chance to earn 3 cents a word. They take turns sitting around on their butts, expressions wavering between blank and sternly blank. They agonize. They may dance around their chairs a bit. Snarky judges comment on the results. Dozens of viewers call in to register their votes!
And just to add some visual interest, there can be some hungry bears added to the mix. Honey-soaked slices of bread are fixed to the writer's head and body as he furiously tries to come up with a few sentences. The longer the writer sits on his butt trying to write, the more the fence surrounding him goes down, until finally, the famished bear can reach him.
Come on! I think it's a winner!
