the masquerade is over.

[luuuvuuul]

so there's this new california tv show called Gana la Verde - Win the Green, right? it's a Fear Factor style show, with a twist! that is, the contestants are undocumented immigrants, and the ultimate prize is getting to meet with a top immigration lawyer to work on getting a green card. like, i could not make this shit up. (for those of you who don't know what Fear Factor is, it's essentially contestants swim through roaches or have to drink diarrhea or whatever. gross stuff. humiliating stuff.)

i think o-dub has some good commentary on this phenomenon.
