"Tony was late so I went and got Brad. Tony is totaling ruining my life. Brad's and ass but he is so much cuter. ... blah blah ..." I thought it would be funny (as in Onion funny) to have a similar mock reality show of young adults in starving African countries chasing boys around and talking about selfish crap, ignoring the fact that they and everyone around them is slowly dieing of hunger. Starving girl goes on a date to the beach, but you can't swim because the government dumped toxic waste in it in exchange for money. Girl gets upset because all boy brought to eat was a handful of millet. On the way home she gets raped by militant passerbys.</p> Have you ever seen those shows on TV of spoiled twenty-something year-old models who drive around Miami and talk about their life’s problems? “Tony was late so I went and got Brad.
