Whoa. The Real World: Cancun hasn't even premiered yet and MTV is already gearing up for next season, in our nation's capital. Doesn't this Disaster Factory ever take a break? Nope. From a press release:
The series transitions its 23rd season to a different lifestyle as "The Real World" will begin production in Washington D. C. in the summer of 2009 and is slated to premiere in 2010. In the upcoming season, eight young adults will experience life in the nation's capital as they live and pursue their passions in the city that many of our country's most influential figures call home.
"Young people have never been more engaged in what's happening in this country and Washington, D.C., is the perfect place for The Real World' cast to express their opinions and pursue their passions," said Jonathan Murray, the creator and Executive Producer of "The Real World."
"In a time when our country has witnessed the impact and spirit of our nation's young people, it is a pleasure to welcome MTV and The Real World' cast to the District of Columbia as they utilize the immense opportunities that the District's backdrop will undoubtedly provide," said Adrian M. Fenty, Mayor of Washington D.C.
Haha, right. Express their opinions that people need to clean up after themselves more, and pursue their passions of drunken fucking/fighting. CHANGE WE CAN BARFLIEVE IN. Look, it's fine to have the Real World in Washington D.C. Those booze-soaked children need to pass out in a windowless compound filled with tacky kitsch decorations and studio lights somewhere. But don't act like this is the greatest thing to happen to American democracy since the 19th Amendment. It's just a bunch of babies taking showers together and exploring the effect that each of us can have, individually, on a half gallon of well liquor.
