This has to be one of the greatest conversations I’ve seen in quite awhile. Yeah, it’s a blatant copy/paste, but it’s glorious. Apologies to the IRL folks I’m quoting. From Google+:
Rob: “There could be a TV show about graduate school admissions, where a few judges vote people off based on only a CV and some BS essay.”
Mary: “Worst show ever.”
Rob: “It would be better than the food one on ABC now, where they vote a guy off and then cry and bitch that they fucked up.”
Mary: “Yeah, I guess if the whole point of reality TV is to make viewers feel less pathetic and fucked up than the people on the show, grad school’s a good setting.”
