I don’t mean to rush you all, but if you wish to take part in what promises to be a supremely ridiculous television program that seeks to send gender roles back a few decades you must apply by May 7. (Thanks to Daddy Types for the link.) The show is looking to throw a bunch of “un-manly” men out in the woods for a couple of weeks. And, given that the show is to air on Comedy Central, it would seem that the plan for hilarity to ensue.
Here’s what they’re looking for:
Any guy you’d consider UN-manly. A guy lacking in some skill or characteristic that you think men should have. Think George Costanza, Frasier Crane, or Raymond, without the whole everyone loving him part.Ladies, we’ll give the minivan-driving soccer dad the ride of his life, that new age vegan ex so intent on saving the world, the chance to experience it. We’ll give that prettyboy metrosexual boyfriend a chance to get ugly.
Guys, we’ll give that whipped buddy of yours, well… a set, for once. And your little brother his first thrill not on a computer. We’ll break out the old friend doing time in a suburban office park, and give your trust fund college roommate the first real day of work in his life. For that guy you know who’s 35, still lives at home and has his clothes laid out for him, we’ll give him a nice, swift kick in the ass.
(I’ll put up with this goofy sympathy from the manly men. After all, us “un-manly” “minivan-driving soccer dads” who believe in equality in gender roles are probably having more sex than they are. But let’s keep that our secret.)
