To get straight to the matter: Lou Ferrigno is slated to be one of the "manhunters" on the upcoming reality TV show Danger Island!!! w00t! :-)

I wouldn't have thought anything could entice me to watch a reality TV show starring convicted criminals, but there are some truly nifty things about this series. For starters, the basic idea, evoking the short story "The Most Dangerous Game", is just intrinsically cool. For another thing, they're using criminals who have already served out their sentences and aren't on parole -- also, they won't use murderers, rapists and the like. That's a tad bit reassuring.

What's especially cool, though, is that by winning (being the last one caught by the hunters), a criminal causes $1,000,000 to be paid to the victim of his crime (while he himself wins a scholarship for his children). It's amusing to think about the former victims watching at home and thinking, "Wow, I'm sure glad that the mugger who beat me up and took my wallet was as big, tough and cunning as he was!"

Toss my homeboy Lou Ferrigno into the mix ("You're losing your lead, Rocco -- and you know that.") and we may have a winnah! At least I'll give it a chance, anyway. Go Lou!!!
