Letters to the Editor Reality TV
In Australia we love to see private details of a person�s life, little titillations. We love to see some humiliation; some people put under stress and watch them squirm. When will a network bid to run one of our detention centres? Let�s watch the good guard, the bad guard. How long do we have to imprison kids before they go really weird? Lets watch the guards do those intimate body searches, put a microphone on a "Management Unit", no that won�t be necessary, these solitary confinement rooms are already set up with camera surveillance. How long will it take that young mother to become a pale lifeless doll, curled in the corner of her room? How long till that handsome young man goes blank in the eyes and begins to shake? We won�t have to worry about any Hogan�s Heroes funny accents. The guards talk straight Ocker. The whole world will begin to identify this accent! Anyone who would like to take part needs to first flee from a repressive regime, take a boat journey. It also helps to have already had some experience of torture and violence. Kids especially welcome, smaller the better. Elaine Smith
