From Boing Boing: 2005 Risks in Global Filmmaking Map is a likely first stop for the producers of TAR to start mapping out places to take people around the world and torture them for our amusement.

I sat up until 3 friggin’ 30 last night watching the webcast from the Emmy awards that featured Dennis Miller, TAR producers, and former TAR racers in a panel discussion. It was mostly a stitch, but Bertram Van Munster really didn’t want to talk about that car accident in Botswana when the cameraman got hurt. Assume “out of court settlement,” I guess.

And they’ll be checking extra hard for threat assessment for the upcoming “famuhlee” installment. Pardon my lack of enthusiasm for this change, which smacks of pandering to that mass of people who followed “the Game of Life” script. Which, of course, is antithetical to the spirit of reality TV, actually.
