"We now live in an age in which the imagination of the novelist lies helpless before what he knows he will read in tomorrow morning's newspaper"

Philip Roth-1961

This close to 50 year old quote is used by Gordon Burn in his amazing article on media saturation published by The Guardian.

The Guardian reports on three pilot concepts for reality shows being considered by the networks.

RealityLASIK
- a show following models as they go through laser surgery to improve their eyesight;

Wedding SOS, featuring betrothed couples stressed out about their pending nuptials and in need of a wedding planner;

Anchorwoman, where an urbane east or west coast model (again) is sent to a hick southern town to present on a local TV channel.

Of course, there's always the reality shows that we are going to see this season. CBS's Lord of the Flies, or as they prefer to call it, Kid Nation.
