We were hoping it wouldn't happen: MTV's original lame-ass soap opera/reality show will celebrate its arrival to legal drinking age with The Real World: Brooklyn, airing on Jan. 7th. Featuring 8 cast members instead of the usual 7, these include "an Iraq war veteran, a former beauty queen, a hip hop dancing hippie, a punk rock Mormon, a dolphin trainer, a computer geek, an abs model and an advocate for victims," according to a press release by the former cable music channel, which bills itself these days as "the dynamic, vibrant experiment at the intersection of music, creativity and youth culture." Yes, and we're the heirs to William Shakespeare.
We're just dying for these knuckleheads to stroll into any of our nabe's watering holes and have some of the locals put the fear of God into 'em. Or at least some sense. (Nah, they'll probably just hook up with some low self-esteem, attention-starved posers. But one can dream, huh?)
