Just when you thought that the world could not become more similar to a parody of Black Mirror, reality imposes itself. The Columbia Broadcasting System, proud producer of Big Brother, is soon to air its new TV reality show, called The Activist. The show is framed as a competition series, in which people working for the right kind of cause team up with high-profile public figures. Together, they strive to “bring meaninful change” in favor of a “vitally important” world cause, which can be related to health, the environment or education.
It’s all SO tiresome.
