More and more reality television caters to armchair sadists—and these people are probably going to LOVE the newest incarnation of that old MTV chestnut The Real World. The show is flipping the script this coming season by choosing a house full of sexy young recent singles… and then inviting their exes to live in the house as well. If you’re a fan of “AWWWWKWARD” and watching dimwitted beefcakes struggle valiantly to express their feelings, there’s a good possibility you’ll love this… you SADIST.

Bang bang, choo-choo train, let me see you shake that thang. Wm. Steven Humphrey is the editor-in-chief of the Portland Mercury and has held the job since 2000. (So don’t get any funny ideas.)
