So the other day Funny or Die posted a video about Kid Nation which they refer to it as the worst reality tv show of all time. And I've really gotta say that it probably was although I don't really remember anything about it other than it existing and how awful it looked.

The video talks about Sophia, but it doesn't mention she panhandled to get enough money to buy a bike.

A participant, Michael Thot, also did an AMA a year or so earlier than the Cracked article. He gets into more detail on certain topics. Greg, the designated bully, was kind of a jerk. The bratty girl on the council, Taylor, was a worse off camera saying things about fat people should be in zoos. The kid who drank bleach was DK who Thot found annoying because he didn't do any work and would be melodramatic to get on the camera. The girl Migle got a gold star/20 grand because the boys had a crush on her. www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1h6srx/i_was_on_the_childs_reality_tv_show_kid_nation/

Funny story. While I was in college, girlfriend used to use the little girl who screams "deal with it" as a meme, so I assumed she had watched the show.
I was sick on weekend and couldn't sleep comfortably, so I figured it would be funny to watch the whole show and talk to her about it.
Turns out, she's never seen an episode and only uses the girl as a meme. I watched the whole f***ing thing for nothing.

While the concept was poorly conceived and inadequately supervised, I really find it hard to believe that a bunch of kids just doing what kids do when they have inadequate supervision could be as incredibly crass and tasteless as a lot of reality television shows featuring adults could ever be.

I remember the advertising for it at the time hyping it up as this grand social experiment. And I was like "Ever read Lord of the Flies? We all know how this ends." A participant, Michael Thot, also did an AMA a year or so earlier than the Cracked article. He gets into more detail on certain topics. Greg, the designated bully, was kind of a jerk. The bratty girl on the council, Taylor, was a worse off camera saying things about fat people should be in zoos.

The girl Migle got a gold star/20 grand because the boys had a crush on her. www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1h6srx/i_was_on_the_childs_reality_tv_show_kid_nation/But did anyone who wanted Michael to leave say "Begone Thot!"? I'll be going now.
