Survivor as a social experiment......please


I'm not going to commit too much time to this subject as it is pretty self explanatory in it's stupidity. CBS in a desperate effort to boost sagging Survivor ratings has submitted what they are calling a social experiment by pitting teams against each other based on race. Talk about a novel idea....really. God forbid they came up with a urban Survivor in which players attempt to survive in a Katrina/New Orleans environment. That would be a true social experiment and perhaps give some of the proceeds to the Katrina victims. I guess that would require too much thought on the part of CBS executives. Is this really 2006? Your guess is as good as mine. Check out Stanley Crouch's take on the Survivor story:
