Survival of the whitest
Responding to the criticism that good old-fashioned segregation just isn't what it used to be, "Survivor" has announced that for its new season, contestants will be divided into groups based on race. This will make it harder for them to vote off the 'angry black chick.' However, as the white group will have the best land, the easiest jobs, and not technically have to compete in the challenges, they should have an easy time.

Wow. I haven't watched "Survivor" since that second season where Dr. Scholls and Doritos offered salvation to the weary warriors. The one where the vaguely Asian-looking guy got voted off and talked about how he just "wanted to assimilate."
I remember that. Didn't we watch Survivor in Mary Low with wine? That was bizarre.
I sometimes find it strange that the show is still on the air. It was this huge cultural touchstone, then it faded, but I guess it's still popular.
It was an exercise in cultural analysis. Wine is is always appropriate.
But how have they managed to survive for so long??? (No pun intended.)
