Fake Camp

[idioteque]

So Brat Camp has made it across the pond and the new season debuts this summer. Those of you who get the chance to watch it should know that this show is fabricated. The locations, "therapeutic process", and even the staff are different from the genuine program.

Compare these two lists. The first is the real faculty, the second the show's, and it appears the bulk of Brat Camp's staff is composed of B-actors-- with the exception of "Dr. Dan" who is listed as Red Cliff Ascent's resident psychologist.

Does this mean the people of Escalante weren't "cable ready"? Or maybe the true nature of the program wasn't something people would watch for entertainment. Either way, this 'reality show' is a pared-down dramatization. Watch at your own risk.

I think this is nothing but advertising of the product placement variety. And I never expected them to show the real deal, did you?

I think the best way to combat it would be for ppl who know something about the real deal to look around for fan sites and discussions and tip off the rest of the audience.

When we got organized as a country and we wrote a fairly radical Constitution with a radical Bill of Rights, giving a radical amount of individual freedom to Americans ...... And so a lot of people say there's too much personal freedom. When personal freedom's being abused, you have to move to limit it. That's what we did in the announcement I made last weekend on the public housing projects, about how we're going to have weapon sweeps and more things like that to try to make people safer in their communities.
