Ugh. More tasteless Fox un-reality shows. This time rich guy gets to taunt poor people. - Chupa Chupa - 05-13-2008
Here is the gist. Rich guy lives in the hood for a week or so. No phone, no lights no motor car, not a single luxury. Like Robinson Carusoe, as primitive as can be. Assuming the dude survives he gives $100K+ of his own cash* to one or a few people then gets into his Bentley, rolls off to Sully Manor where he then takes a nice hot shower in his 100sq foot shower, and cuddles up with his wife, wearing a new $500 silk teddy, then abruptly rips it to shreds off her...fade to black. What a lovely, heart warming tale.

* it's his own cash because Fox gave it to him to give to his new found homies. Future royalties not included.

"No phone, no lights no motor car, not a single luxury."
And not a single view by us reality-TV-hating folks.

which 'hood? In this Good O' US of A? Com'on now, I have acquainted quite a few folks from the da 'hood and they own everything-and-the-kitchen-sink cell phones; have remote control flood lamps; drive Lincolns. No luxury? I'd say owning a gigantic HDTV, Wii and wearing the latest model of MJ's sneakers is certainly living a luxurious life!

Hopefully, he'll move to my block, and I can split a few mil with my neighbors.

Overgeneralize much?

I am hardly one to over-generalize; I have to live and break stereotypes daily

Er, OK, but what is up with that dog pic? Is it corrupted somehow or is it an odd quirk of the background behind the dog?
