REALITY SHOWS MEET REALITY

he Satirical Political Report - An Offbeat Look at the Hot-Button Issues of the Day � �REALITY SHOWS� MEET �REALITY�:

"With television executives increasingly obsessed with reality programming, it was just a matter of time until this format was adapted to exploit the controversial political issues of the day. Following are the promotional releases for some of these new reality shows slated to debut this coming Fall.

1. Survivor-New Orleans: Contestants compete in such events as the back-stroke, roof-dwelling, and fasting, to the delight of cheering throngs of network cameramen. Tune in to see who comes away with the high-stakes prize of a case of bottled water, a Chocolate Key to the City, and educational software presented by Barbara Bush.

2. Swapping Political Parties: Watch the fun as the worlds of Red and Blue collide. Lesbian environmentalists are forced to watch NASCAR events and picket abortion clinics, while red-meat conservatives must attend gay weddings and off-Broadway productions such as 'The Puppetry of the Penis.'"
