Kid Nation

[Kevy Baby]

I saw a promo for this new CBS show called Kid Nation.

40 Kids have 40 days to build a brave new world without adults to help or hinder their efforts. Can they do it? These Kids, ages 8-15, will turn a ghost town into their new home. They will cook their own meals, clean their own outhouses, haul their own water and even run their own businesses including the old town saloon (root beer only). Through it all, they'll cope with regular childhood emotions and situations: homesickness, peer pressure and the urge to break every rule they've ever known.

I was unable to watch the video promo, but the description sounds intriguing.

Bah - I'm sure it will have all the rules and controls of all the other so called reality shows and they'll stop the little tykes from offing Piggie for his glasses.

Someone needs to do a reality show with a reporter embedded in one of those African child militias to see the real cruelty of innocence

But in that case isn't it cruelty trained by adults?

Yeah, I doubt that this show would be spun out of control, but if they promo that someone kills Piggy I am there.

Sucks to your asth-mar!
