Survivor Gets Free Publicity

Filed under: General — Dangerous Dan @ 11:45 pm

Survivor is about to start its 13th season. Its gimmick this year is that it will divide the tribes by ethnicity: black, white, Asian, and hispanic. For some reason, a few folks are getting their knickers in a knot over this, including a NYC councilman and a couple of minority groups.

Hmmm… Survivor has divided tribes by gender, by age, and by both gender and age and you didn’t hear complaining. The show takes the next logical division step, which is really no worse in kind than the others, and people whine. You’d think they’d like the new element and its racial experiment, that it will be a focus of conflict and understanding, and the fact that minorities will have greater representation on the show. You’d also think they’d realize that by complaining, they’re just giving CBS free publicity and making the show even more of a must-see spectacle. But, ah well.
