OK...I'll Bite


Isn't the media great at hooking us? We're just like a bunch of fish waiting to bite on their bait...the next tease. "Tune in...coming up....you won't want to miss this." The latest tease is from CBS's "The Survivor." This season of Survivor will be pitting Asians, Hispanics, Blacks and Whites against each other by placing them in competing tribes. Ok, you got me hooked. I just want to see the Asians win the "put together the puzzle challenge", the Hispanics win the "climbing over the fence challenge", the Blacks win the "jumping challenge" and the Whites win the....win the.....Ok, it just wouldn't be right for the White People to win. I predict huge ratings that will rival Survivor's first season featuring the gay, tax evading, exhibitionist fat guy named Richard. I also predict that we have been hooked with a "come watch the train wreck" mentatlity. But...in the end, as always...political correctness will prevail as all 4 tribes hold hands and sing "We Are the World" around the campfire.
