Can reality-tv go any lower... yes it can

I really hate reality-tv. This is just wrong, very wrong.
I like cats and they shouldn't be treated like this.

At first I thought it was just a joke, but apparently it isn't.

I don't really see the problem with this, I hate reality TV too, but this does publicise cats which may help to provide more with homes.
The cats probably won't even see much of a difference.
If they were deliberately causing harm to the cats in the challenges and te like, then it'd be a different matter...as it is, I see it as no worse than any old bad reality show, in fact it'll probably treat the 'competitors' better than the human equivalents in Big Brother etc.

How can THAT be worse then current "Reality" TV shows. The most real thing about most of these shows I see is that they "real"ly suck. We prolly don't get as many as some people here in Aus, but I see enough to know that I'd rather make love to a bag of broken glass, super heated and dipped into acid.

The good thing about this show is that it won't need writers to write all the controversial dialogue for the participants to pretend to mean.

All the cats could be CG, so they'll fight like... well, cats. They gotta make the show entertaining so people'll watch it, and who aside from cat lovers is gonna watch a show about several cats?

This summer... This is the true story... of seven alley cats... picked to live in a loft. Find out what happens when the cats stop asking for catnip and start getting real.
