Where Do They Find These People?

How about this as a reality show storyline:  12 women travel to England to meet Prince Harry and potentially become his wife.  Can you find 12 women in America who believe the Royal Family would allow this?  Apparently so.  Fox will be broadcasting I Wanna Marry "Harry" starting this Tuesday, May 20th.  

Will anyone watch this car wreck?  Of course, they will.  Let's just hope everyone learns a little bit about British history as part of this.  We are not talking Downton Abbey here, but at least it is not another set of loud-mouths based in New Jersey.   

Update:  The  May 23rd edition of British magazine New Statesman had a good article by Laurie Penny titled "Who Needs Fox's Fake Royal Reality Show 'I wannan Marry Harry'? The Windsors are the Real Thing," where she writes:
  
The real Harry is terrible marriage material – but a perfect supporting cast member in the longest-running and most successful reality television series on the planet. The British royal family is reality TV incarnate. I mean that literally: the coronation of the current monarch coincided with the emergence of TV culture as postwar austerity drew to an end and was the occasion for which many British families purchased their first television set...The royal family remains, despite setbacks, Britain’s biggest celebrity brand, as useful for distracting the native population from the economic turbulence at home as it is in persuading the rest of the world that British class hierarchy is not only benign but adorable.

I guess we hit a nerve.
