On the surface, “I Love New York” seems like any mass-produced reality dating game shown on VH1. One woman, named “New York” trying to find love amongst a big group of idiots. But it’s actually something sinister. “I Love New York” is a spin off of “Flavor of Love,” which was a spin-off of “Strange Love” which was a spin off of “The Surreal Life,” which was actually pretty interesting. But the premise of the surreal life, much like that of “Dancing with the Stars,” was to give has-beens a new shot at televised glory.
Flavor Flav was hardly famous to begin with but then he got a spin-off and the people in his spin-offs got spin-offs and before you know it you have a situation where TV and celebrity is creating itself and no longer being created.
It won’t be long before reality TV actually develops its own autonomous will and consciousness, and soon after that the world will end. Most likely in 2012. Think about it.
