Catch A Fugitive Online
from the not-this-again dept
More reality programming that we Americans have stolen from Europe. A few months back we reported on a German program where someone had to be tracked down using the web. Now, here comes the American version. Hopefully, these fugitives can stay hidden for a bit longer than their German counterpart.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

Reality TV is stupid
Well, that title should get a reply. I did like Running Man the movie, but I think today's society (or some of it anyway) has become a bunch of voyeurs and wanna-be's, and that's why reality TV is so popular. I didn't watch Survivor, except when it was forced on me. Actually, to amuse myself, I started making up events and attaching names from the show and telling them people who asked me if I had seen the show the previous night. That was a lark - some people became visible upset or angered at what I told them. Personally, I've got my own reality to live with, and I would much rather spend it doing something that might get me on a tropical island faster, rather than sitting and watching people fight on one. As for this show, if it gets established, try throwing a real wanted criminal into the mix, see if you could get people to do some police work.

Isn't that already "America's Most Wanted"? They just need to add a bit more web stuff to it, and they're all set. :)
