Must See TV
Discovered a fabulous TV show this evening - 30 Days, which was created by Morgan Spurlock, the same guy who brought us the movie Supersize Me (which is also a must see in my opinion).
In a nutshell the show forces someone to go 100% outside of their comfort zone for 30 days. This evening a Christian from West Virginia is living life as a Muslim in Dearborn, Michigan for 30 days. The true beauty of the show is that it takes just normal, everday people and puts them in this situation. It's not the most fundamentalist, who are going to clash with ANYONE they come into contact with, but just regular guys living their regular lives who are being asked to take a walk in someone else's shoes for a spell.
Throughout the show it's interspersed with Morgan interviewing people about their stereotypes and presenting facts about the topic under discussion.
What's strange to me is just regular life to someone else. It's already been programmed into the TiVo, and I expect the Sweetie and I will make this a regular part of our TV viewing routine.
