Reality TV really IS trash in Hong Kong thanks to a hit television show that features millionaires picking up garbage! The Battle of the Poor Rich has become a huge hit and it’s easy to understand why audiences would be eating it up with chopsticks with the current state of the global economy. The premise is that the super wealthy trade-in their Armani suits for jump suits and rubber gloves and have to take on dirty jobs throughout the city. Not surprisingly, the rich guys whine and complain through the entire show as well.
Given that Wall Street has been raping Main Street here in America for years, it seems a natural to bring the Chinese hit show to U.S. shores. Unsolicited Drivel checked in with the only unconscionable reality TV producer we know, Rand Sachs, for comment.
U.D.: “Rand, you old dog! This show would be freaking hilarious and timely hit here in the U.S., don’t you think? Any plans to rip-off the Chinese like the U.S. government?”
R.S.: “As I'm sure you know, ripping off ideas is the way that 95% of reality shows do get developed, but I don’t know how I’d find rich investors to back a production like this as we coddle the rich in this country. Warren Buffett tells us so, so it must be true. So I think we’re just going to have to wait for them to get their comeuppance by going to prison for securities fraud and hope that a fellow inmate’s Mont Blanc shanks them. I do have a show you will like that I hope to put into development soon about supermodels having to do community service after being prosecuted for beating their help with their BlackBerry. They’ll be doing lots of stuff similar to the Chinese guys like collecting garbage. And for some extra production value I’ll make sure that at least every episode one of the girls steps her $3,000 shoe into dog poo or that a homeless guy urinates into her $8,000 purse.”
