The idea is good but the implementation is too superficial. Maybe I’m a generation or so too late (I’m 61) but rape, cock sucking and dope are all a bit boring. Not that I could do any better but I think the contestants should aim for something that is creative, ‘novel’ and inspiring. It all needs to evolve a bit – recognising, of course, the evolutionary significance of the mind, and its potential for error, on the course that the evolution takes. Keep it up there is potential.
“Rape, cock sucking and dope are all a bit boring.” That would make an interesting blog tagline… We’ll have to see what happens when they actually start their individual novellas. I’ve actually never come across a successful chain story. I just wanted to try it out to see what would happen. I think any evolutionary potential gets sabotaged along the way when you bring a group of people into the mix, especially when they’re participating in something as freakish as a reality show. Thanks for the frank comment.
