MTV’s “The Real World” is holding a local casting from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Feb. 28 at the Raven Lounge (1718 Sansom) seeking to cast its 23rd season which will shoot in an as yet undisclosed city. Casting Directors from Bunim/Murray Productions are seeking men and women aged 18-24 who are asked to bring a recent picture which will not be returned.

While the casting is open to any type of individuals, casting directors say that this season “We’d love to include a person who is physically challenged, an individual struggling with weight issues, someone whose family or themselves are dealing with the immigrant-to citizenship process, an individual who is coming out of the foster care system, someone who is currently grieving over the loss of a spouse or significant other, or a cast member who wants to bring the spotlight of The Real World to a cause or social issue they care deeply about.” And if those people like to strip, drink a lot and fight with their new roommates, they’ll probably have an even better chance.

Those who can’t make the open casting call, may visit Bunim-Murray’s website to apply online.

Oh drama! The real story here is that this craptacular show has been able to make it to 23 seasons! I hope this season they actually get real and force them to live in a rat-infested-slumlord-owned two bedroom tenement located in Crackville where they are made to eat ramen noodles and popcorn for dinner every night.

Hah, Professor is right on. If they want to make this show real, instead of the posh loft in Downtown Miami or whatever, they need to saddle all the cast members with 50K in student loan debt, a 10 K car note, and give them crappy service sector jobs with no health insurance in Akron Ohio. That is "real" enough for me.

I see an opening for a sensitive fellow who is struggling with weight issues as he tries to get his online gossip column off the ground. Did you mention your chaps in your application?

In other news, U.S. federal government passes unconstitutional 'stimulus' bill which circumvents state governors' authority. But pay no attention - 'The Real World' will not be effected in the slightest. Back to the boob tube sheeple.
