Big Brother 

"CBS' Big Brother is gearing up for another summer series and looking
to cast a new house guest who is an animal rights activist. This is an
excellent opportunity to reach viewers about very serious issues
concerning animals while having some fun along the way. If you are
between the ages of 21 and 50, are not afraid to speak up for your
beliefs, and want a chance to win a half-million dollars, you may be
the perfect contestant for this show.

Big Brother's deadline to find an animal rights activist is April 1.
There will be open casting calls in Portland, New York, Los Angeles,
Houston, Charleston, Tampa, Salt Lake City, Minneapolis, Chicago,
Louisville, Memphis, Des Moines, New Orleans, Boston, and Phoenix.

The show will be filmed in Los Angeles from July through September.
House guests will live in the house for three months and receive a
$600/week stipend.

To apply, simply send your name, age, city, and profession and
information about yourself to bigbrothercasting@ gmail.com."

I just hope whoever they pick is a responsible adult who understands that TV operates to exploit individuals, classes, sexes, races, cultures(especially subcultures and counter cultures), etc.

I have been smeared to death all over national news for my activism personally.

This Big Brother could really make or break the average couch potato's perception on the animal rights movement and vegetarianism as a whole.

It will also probably bring in a lot of newbies, welcomed with open arms. :)

Exciting. I don't have a TV and see them as being rather vile and mind numbing- but I will be rooting for our non-human friends- it will effect them as much as it will us.

So strange they want a terrorist to parade around on their set. $600/wk sounds nice though, and half a million dollars would treat a lot of animals kindly.
 
Don't do it.

Guaranteed they will edit it to make you look as bad/crazy as possible.
 
Yes,

This will work right up until the first challenge that requires you to eat [insert name of disgusting dead animal part here].

Upon refusal to participate in the challenge...

1. Your housemates will despise you.
2. You will be voted out.
3. You will be edited to look like a freak.

Good luck with that...
