...actual video illustrating the hypocrisy of Bush, McCain, and Karl Rove, and SNL’s highest ratings in years had Tina Fey portraying a Palin so true to life that even the dialogue was barely altered. In an era when one candidate can compare another to Paris Hilton, the humor is right there in reality, and all people like Colbert have to do is repackage it on a Comedy Central platter; the laughs and good ratings follow naturally. Though founded on pure humor and even some flat-out fabrications, shows like Colbert’s and Stewart?...

...intervening year that brought a brutal nomination fight, abundant scandal, and total financial collapse, I’m afraid I lost my sense of humor. The notorious Paris Hilton ad is less witty when we start worrying if it was supposed to tap into racism.

After all, since midsummer, the Arizona Senator has effectively dominated the day-to-day media narrative through a series of surprising, bold and, to some, reckless tactical moves designed to keep his opponent on the ropes. Through depicting Obama as Paris Hilton, selecting the little-known governor of Alaska as his running mate, manufacturing the lipstick-on-a-pig contretemps and, most recently, "suspending" his campaign to tend to the financial crisis, McCain has consistently garnered headlines and forced his opponent to respond...

...home - it was home. Then - in the wake of the late '80s Writers Guild of America strike that pushed desperate networks to learn to produce the cheap 'n easy reality fare - came 1992's The Real World. Like almost all of its emulators, from The Osbournes to the Paris Hilton-Nicole Richie vehicle The Simple Life to The Biggest Loser: Couples, The Real World explored what happened when people "stopped being polite ... and started getting real" ... but not too real. Slickly created and cast by pros, TRW placed seven 18-to-25-year-olds from diverse backgrounds in a house...
