Survivor, the Home Game

I think it's ironic that for the past few years, "Reality Shows" have been all of the rage in television. Only the most ruthless and shifty would prevail, and the rest were "cast off of the island" (to die, in a virtual sense).

Only a vicious and hyper-competitive culture would produce such a set of monstrosities and call it entertainment, I now suspect that this set of attitudes has been mirroring structural changes in our economy which now threatens to exile "everyone" off the island, except perhaps, bankers cosy with Goldman Sachs and such.

We can all play survivor now.
