Aww Shucks, a reality TV show cancelled...

...before it can even air.

Sounds like it might have been interesting for a night or two, but it leaves me to question: Who is more racist, the creators of the show, or the participants?

The funny thing about the cancellation is that both sides (GLAAD and Family Research Council) thought it would be a bad thing.

I find it interesting that the premise (pre-editing, that is) is more "realistic" than the other garbage that pretends to be reality TV. It's not pretty, though -- nobody wants to admit that such attitudes are so entrenched among much of the public.
