Why "reality" shows have no future on DVD

[georgep]

Great online column by Dave Plotz of Slate showing just how desperately "Charlie's Angels 2" was marketed. The last paragraph is particularly revealing:

reality TV shows—in which the players are indentured by rigid contracts—are ruthlessly controlled by producers and publicists. They insist on a romantic storyline, regardless of truth. It is a delightful irony of the American entertainment industry that Demi and Ashton may be less fake than the stars of reality TV.

This is why I can't stand Demi Moore. Or Survivor.
