Description

In the olden days.... Roman Emperors threw Christians to the lions! Gladiators battled to the death! Mayans sacrificed virgins! Witches were burned at the stake! Today? We’ve got REALITY TV! The hot, new genre that suddenly snuck up and captured our imagination as: • Cops put us in prowl cars to pursue loonies, thugs and druggies! • Survivor trapped us on an island with naked, flaming fattie Richard Hatch! • American Idol gobbled up American TV—and spat out the bones! How did reality programming “hijack” TV? Read the eye-popping exposé that takes you straight to Reality Hell. Sex…Drugs…Dirty Tricks…and Scandals! Giggle as Paris Hilton & Nicole Richie get barf-y in the sticks and hump-y with the hicks…. Boggle at never-before-revealed secrets behind Simon Cowell’s manly man-boobs…. Gasp as wee Mini-Me takes a public pee…. And much, much more. REALITY TV! The Super Bowl of Voyeurism…. But JENNIFER ANISTON hates it! “I have no interest in that ‘Idol’ shit,” snarls Jen—who sneers that “humiliation and degradation” make contestants look like monkeys playing in poop. Jennifer’s disgust is a touchstone for this book—which is actually dedicated to her by the author. REALITY TV! Love it or hate it…. You know you want to watch!
