XTreem Reality Television

Thomas, "Kip", Bosnia, lead singer for

the Old Factory Nerds, was tired of 

making money. After the third album went

platinum, he started to get itchy for 

something new. He knew how to play the 

crowd to distraction, or, to direct it to buy

products, which made him a darling of 

industry. His concert films were

popular, but the real money came from the 

quick shot of the bottle of Pepsi, or, the 

moment the band exited from their 

Cadillac Escalade. He wanted to fund 

something interesting, and the only idea 

that seemed to challenge his imagination

also seemed impossible: he wanted to

promote jihad as a mass movement. He

realized the meme of the pimply, over

stimulated, overly testosteroned teenager

was his market. But, how could he channel

that into something that was, at the same time,

attractive and also lethal? He knew the 

popularity  of movie franchises like "Saw",

"Machete" and others was a big clue...but his

challenge was to bring the meme to life in

the real world; on the ground as it were.

It hit him like a ton of bricks while he was 

taking a shit high on "X": Reality Television.

This would be the first "Black Ops" reality 

television show. Auditions would take place

as follows: one to three people would have 

to murder, in public, at least three, up to an

unlimited number of people...and to pass the

audition, they would have to get away with it. 

They could claim to be from a variety of

disgruntled groups: ISIS, Fudamentalist 

Christians, Survivalists, Racists (any color

against any other), Pastafarians, Inquisionists,

to give a representative sample. Once they were

successful, they were in the talent portion of

the competition.

In order to pull this off, Kip had to make his 

band disappear from view, while still producing

songs that would incite potential players to the

venue. He decided they would be "kidnapped"

by an "unknown" group. and thence be forced to 

write and perform songs that would foment this

media revolution.  Subscriptions to the event

would take place via the "dark net". The cost 

of a subscription would vary based on the 

number of subscriptions, but, he assumed the

cost to the consumer would be quite steep at 

first; public corporations would be wary of

advertising, at first, due to the idea's extreem

nature. But, Kip was sure, once the idea 

enthralled the general public, corporations 

would be fighting each other to get a piece of

the action. 

The talent portion would be a pyramid. Targets

would be publicized broadly. Three teams at a 

time would be tasked to take out a target. The 

ones (if any) that succeeded in eliminating their

target would move on to the next level. If a team

failed, but was not captured or killed, their 

executions  would be on U Tube the next day. 

If a team free lanced from, say the secret 

service, and was successful, they would 

automatically advance to the finals.

That was enough of a plan for Kip to come up

with in one day. He needed his beauty sleep.
