New From TV Schlock King

John de Mol, who brought the world the sleaze-reality show Big Brother, has a couple new ideas he's kicking around:
  • "I want your body -- but nothing else!" In this show, a woman will seek a sperm donor so she can have a child without all that troublesome marriage/family stuff. After she selects her donor, there will be a "donation" and an artifical insemination.
  • A show following five former prostitutes as they start a cafe. Let's hope they wash the tablecloths.
de Mol plans to air five one-off shows, including these two, on his European TV station, and the one that gets the most support will become a series. This will be a great test of the continuing cultural degradation of Western civilization.
