Always be sincere. Once you can fake that, you've got it made.

His school has already attracted the interest of production companies and cable networks: they want to create a reality television show about his reality television school.

Suitguy is not bitter.

feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive

The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

The popularity of reality television means that producers are looking for more "everyday" people for other shows, said Paul Booth of London casting agency The Casting Suite.
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Sure, "everyday," like all the people you see out there at the mall -- rude, uncouth, not very bright and certainly not well educated, loud, unmannerly, self-centered, attention-getting couch pototatos, at or under the country's median age of 35.3.

Everyday folks. Because we just can't get enough of them in real life.

Both will do, but "everyday" was already in quotes. :P

And SC's summation forgot to mention that these "everyday" folks carefully erase the actor/model designation from their business cards!




And, you know, I wouldn't mind if they conducted business this way on their "unscripted" "reality" shows, if only this attitude hadn't spread to the APs at SyndieBAM. :|
