CBS Was Warned on "Kid Nation," Documents Show

Pullquotes:

Four children received medical treatment for accidentally drinking bleach, one child was burned on her face with hot grease while cooking in an unsupervised kitchen, and most of the children were required to work 14 hours or longer per day.

CBS officials had used the "camp" designation to characterize the reality show in discussions with parents.

CBS contended the children were not employees because they were not performing specific work for specific wages.

Bonus points: The Attorney General investigating the event is named "Buzzard."

I think they intended to recreate Lord of the Flies but the effect was more Kamp Krusty. For this kind of bad publicity they should have at least got one or two pig heads on a stick, if not a full Battle Royale.

I suggest SURVIVOR: EXPOSED! in which infants will be left on mountaintops. As the show progresses, we find out which ones survive, raised by wolves, and return to the city to wreak a terrible vengeance.

Dinner of three salads tonight

Last night's leftover chicken breast (sauteed in butter and olive oil with hot pepper, salt, and marsala) cubed with pieces of cucumber, in a yogurt / lemon / dill dressing, topped with smoked paprika.

Fruit salad: grapes, banana, blueberries, strawberries with a yogurt dressing

Potato salad in a dressing of three vinegars, olive oil, black pepper, dill, parsley, a little white wine, a little salt.

Toasted pita.

gin

"Junipero" brand gin is very tasty.

Said brand of gin is also 98.6 proof.

Alcohol of 98.6 proof is not suitable for a school night.

That is all.
