My Can't Miss TV idea
Our government wants us to marry and procreate- hence, the government-run dating agencies, tax incentives, and regular exhortations about how families are good for us. Our television stations want to make popular but cheap television shows which the government approves of. This is an avenue which can be exploited! Introducing Let's Go Book A HDB Flat Together!: A Singaporean reality TV show about Singaporeans trying to find love in the highly pressurised and materialistic world that is Singapore! In the first season, we follow 12 men as, over the course of a season spanning 6 months, we observe their desperate attempts to find love in the city and reach that holy grail: their very-own HDB flat! Watch! As the men get style tips, wardrobe makeovers, and etiquette advice from government-sponsored consultants, none of whom are gay! Laugh! As they attempt to tiptoe their way through the minefield of kay-poh family, convince suspicious parents, pretend their jobs are better than they actually are and try not to be emasculated by the all-seeing camera! Cry! As the men break down and confess their fears about women, their macho exteriors slowly breaking away as they plead for help to obey their biological and governmental imperatives! Cheer! As they find women who actually can see past their social ineptitude, outmoded patriarchal values, debilitating shallowness, and funky body odour! Shock! As it turns out that the true love they found on the show was a fraud as most of the women were actors and the rest were China-brides! On second thoughts, never mind. Posted by pj at 02:41 PM
