Survivor - Race Wars!
In a move that you might expect from FOX, today CBS announced that the next season of Survivor would pit the races — whites, Asians, blacks, and Latinos — against one another.
As BET.com put it:
It’s Blacks vs. Whites and then some on the upcoming season of “Survivor.” In response to criticism that the show was not racially diverse enough, CBS announced the new season will segregate teams according to race.
In response to criticism that the show was not racially diverse enough? That's like Hooters saying that in response to criticism over the sexual bias in their hiring practice that they're going to start offering live sex shows or something.
Setting aside any feelings that I might (but don't) have, I've got to say what a brilliant business move this is. After all, here I am at the keyboard blogging about it, as I'm sure millions of other bloggers are doing as well. You can't buy that kind of publicity!
My question to you is: Would you want it?
