Morgan Spurlock is a genius!
This guy is so amazing! I cannot believe that he didn't win the Oscar for Super Size Me. For those of you that don't know who he is, he is the man who did the documentary called Super Size Me last year which was so awesome. He is doing a reality show right now on FX called 30 Days and it is a 1 hour show where either him or someone else documents them doing something out of the ordinary for them for 30 days. The first episode showed him and his fiance living off of minimum wage for 30 days. This week it was a guy taking anti-aging drugs for 30 days. Some of the future shows are:
Muslims and America
A Christian agrees to uproot his life among his like-minded family and friends and live for 30 days in a large Muslim community in Dearborn, Michigan. As he befriends his Muslim host family and adopts their customs, he struggles deeply with his bias against a belief system that does not recognize Christ as the son of God and his even stronger prejudice against a religion that is closely associated in many American minds with Osama Bin Laden and the terrorist activity of 9-11.
Straight/Gay
A God fearing 24 year old conservative homophobe from red state America travels so San Francisco's Castro district to live in what is notoriously known as one of the gayest areas in the country. As he joins a gay sports team, works a job that caters to gay clientele, attends gay friendly church services and lives with a gay roommate, he gets an inside view of what it is like to live as a minority that still elicits strong strong feelings of hatred among many Americans.
Binge Drinking Mom
A Mother concerned about her daughter's alcohol consumption now that she is in college agrees to binge drink for 30 days to try to get through to her. In a booze-drenched freaky Friday scenario, the daughter will see her mother drunk, vomiting and hung over as she makes decisions about the tough social choices she faces every day in college. The mother, on the other hand, will become more aware of the enormous social and cultural pressure to drink that faces kids every day of their college careers.
What an awesome show! Finally a documentary that caters to people my age and helps them learn about stuff that is really important. You have to watch this show! It is on FX on Wednesday nights at 10:00PM.

Hillary-
Thanks for the tip on the new show - I'm gonna have to watch it next week. Sounds really good!
P.S. I love NIKE Celso flip flops too!!
TIVO will be updated...the straight/gay thing sounds good...I am one of about 5 straight guys in a gay basketball league in the Castro and it's the best league I've ever been in...no fights, good basketball, and a fun time. They're more nervous around me than I am around them...it took about three seasons before anyone would give me the butt-pat that happens in all sports leagues.
Sounds good, think I'll tune in sometimes.
aaaaa
I'm setting my tivo!
I just finished reading his girlfriends diet book ...good stuff!
