Live action DF reality show?
« on: January 19, 2011, 11:33:24 am »

Proposal:

1) Get a bunch of midgets.  Get them good and drunk.  Drop them on an island with various resources (or lack thereof) and a few barrels of food, booze and a couple of mining picks.

2) Start filming.

3) Profit!

I don't understand, though that is about right with anything DF related.
I just hope he dies the same death that all dwarfs deserve: liver disease.

2.5?) set dangerous (rabid?) animals to kill them.

I think the illegality is somewhat high.

PETA is the major concern with 2.5

And if we took regular sized individuals and made them look small we'd be in better shape -- there would be a "differentially heighted" (or whatnot) protection agency within a month because of the bias vs. short people.  (or vice versa)

Or we could use some comptertricks. There are some nice pieces of software that can alter your size, make you bustier or/and more muscular with a rather small delay. If we include some oversized tools and requisits we can pull it off. For 2.5 we can use trained Film-animals and stuntmen.

Actually, I've heard things about PETA getting upset even over flies and stuff like that.

The real issue here, I think, is whether being protested by PETA would increase or decrease the show's popularity. My personal experience has been that very few people who are not members of PETA actually like PETA or care what they have to say (at least not for  purposes other than intentionally doing the opposite).

I think that we should court their disapproval.

You could just watch the filipino version of Survivor, basically the same thing, if a little tame.

Filipinos are short, you see.

Although, I don't know why they have their own version of Survivor. The Phillipines is composed of 7000 islands or something, so most of them already live on a small tropical island. Not sure what the novelty factor is.

The problem: Human rights, imagine the infractions required for an even remotely close simulation of Df IRL

This is DF we're talking about! Last i checked, no-one gets arrested in DF when a Dwarf "accidently" falls off a 100 z-level tower into the blood moat. Unless they tantrum and hurt/break something, but now we're arguing semantics.

Well we could make it a web based show. This way we wouldnt need any rating.
