reality tv goes too far

[cimorene]

My grandfather retired to Socorro, NM and is studying leisurely for a second Master's for fun. He sent me this the other day:

Reps from Warner Bros. have contacted NM Tech seeking to use the facilities of the university's Energetic Materials (ie. explosives) Research & Testing Center "for a new game show/reality series based on the company's classic Wile E. Coyote and Roadrunner cartoons." In "Man vs. Coyote" 2 teams "would be pitted against each other to replicate some of the mishaps and disasters to which the Coyote was typically subjected . . . "

. . . Uhuh.
