The Random Stuff of Interests Page

What kind of bad parent do you have to be to agree to hand your kids over to a TV network so they can be tossed into an old ghost town to fend for themselves? Well that’s the premise of CBS’ controversial and Godawful Kid Nation, a show where 40 children, with the oldest being 15 (and the youngest barely are sent to a dead Western ghost town that has failed so they can rebuild it. The object, it appears, is to see if they can survive and fend for themselves, or maybe show up the adults because, let’s face it, kids nowadays thinks they can do anything and know everything, so why not toss them into an old ghost town and tell them to make it work? Is this show the worst thing on TV? Maybe. Are the parents who gave their kids to this show the worst parents EVER? Absolutely-frakkin’-lutely.
