Celebrity Coconut Fight

I've been trying to come up with some reality show concepts that might actually be entertaining. A while back, I came up with "Blast Zone," which I described to Sylvia, who then demanded that I never speak of it again, so I'll refrain from doing so here.

Last week, however, I invented "Celebrity Rock Fight," which would of course involve today's hottest celebrities clobbering each other with rocks. But then I amended that to "Celebrity Coconut Fight," for that extra frisson of surreality.

In each episode, each celebrity gets a pile of coconuts, and they battle on a themed soundstage - say, if it's two politicians, they fight in a House of Commons set, if it's a pair of boxers they fight in a boxing ring, etc. First celebrity to lose consciousness loses the coconut fight. Winner gets to advance to the next round of coconut combat.

The neat thing about this show is that the television audience gets to vote on which celebrities they want to appear on the show, and it's a binding referendum. Oh sure, the celebrities can moan about civil rights and whatnot, but in my world of tomorrow, the public's thirst for spectacle must be slaked, no matter the cost!

Who would YOU vote for? I'm thinking Carrot Top vs. Britney Spears in the first round.

If I'm ponying up the greenbacks, my vote goes to Carrot Top.

Jeremizzle votes for Britney, hands down.

If she doesn't fake out that Carrot-Top with her, ...er large coconuts, then I well... who would you rather see?...

Goodness, how I would pray to Crom's Gut for a Spears Vs. Aquilera bout next....
