Set record on that one - sounds a laugh.

Veeoh: Set record on that one - sounds a laugh.

What the fark does that mean in English?

All that in a warehouse?
Wouldn't it make more sense to fence off an abandoned town and put them there?

Are they going to throw in a few random completely insane maniacs to simulate the mental condition of people who have witnessed a global catastrophe? Pretty sure everyone wont be a cool level headed reality show contestant in the apocalypse.

/will only watch if the potential for coming back from a commercial break to someone feasting on the brains of another "actor" is there.

Oh and this is what they might look like going in...

crab66: Veeoh: Set record on that one - sounds a laugh.

You don't record programs over there? Odd. Thought you were quite technologically minded.

and laugh - an expression of Joy - normally written "Ha Ha", could also be associated with "Fun"

So to translate:-

I would certainly be interested in recording this program on my recordable media of choice. It sounds fun.

Oh, and that's in proper English, not the bastardised shiate you call "American English"

/assuming you are merkin of course.
//you sound it.

I love ye chaps. So cushy to screw with. I could've had it away with this cracking Julie, my old China. Are you telling a bunch pork-pies and a bag of trout? Because if you are feeling quigly, why not just have a J. Arthur?
What, billy no mates? Too right, youth. Don't you remember the crimbo din-din we had with the grotty Scots bint? Oh, the one that was all sixes and sevens! Yeah, yeah, she was the trouble and strife of the Morris dancer what lived up the apples and pears! She was the barrister what become a bobby in a lorry and..tea kettle! And then, and then..She shat on a turtle!

Ah, see, what you have done there is assume that everyone over here speaks like a Londoner, for I assume that is what the above is trying to replicate?

I, for one, am from Hampshire and have a soft english accent and I dont understand one word of what you have tried to convey above.

Well done though, I smiled.

;)

I wish I had known about this, it sounds like fun to be on. I'm looking forward to it.

go team discovery channel

FTA:

"Contestants of The Colony will be forced to move into a 50,000 square-foot abandoned warehouse in Los Angeles, and attempt to create a livable society inside of the warehouse using only their personal skills and whatever tools and supplies they can recover from their surroundings. The warehouse is without modern amenities such as electricity, running water and communication with the outside world."

So if there's no electricity, how are they going to shoot it? And wher do they get the food from?

In addition, certain tools and food items will be strategically placed throughout the space

So it's a remake of Junkyard Wars?

Think they were referring to "sounds a laugh" when asking for a translation. Most would have written it as "sounds like a laugh" or "sounds like it might be funny" or something that made sense. To each his own.

I was just (and am about to again) playing Fallout 2, so I really got a kick out of this article.

Seriously, this sounds pretty much just like it. Post-apocalyptic world, survivors trying to rebuild a livable society with the burnt-out detritus, armed bands of thugs attempting to destroy and loot their fragile society...if they introduce the concept of a GECK-like device and send a lone man out to find it against all odds, then this will be the greatest show ever filmed.

So The Discovery Channel is going to start showing The Simple Life?

FTFA: "As part of the experiment, the participants will be challenged by "a hostile gang of looters and thugs" who threaten their security and force them to devise a safety plan to protect themselves."

I'll just imagine those "looters & thugs" as zombies. It will make this show that much more enjoyable to watch.

/Sounds like a great show.
//Wonder if it will be considered left-leaning?

I'm confused. I thought John and Kate was going off air.

Why not just set it in Detroit? It already looks like a neutron bomb went off, killed all the people, and left the buildings barely standing. It's like Fallout 3 come to life.

You wouldn't even need to rent a warehouse. They could wander around entire neighborhoods without seeing another person, raiding houses for food or fuel or shelter. Plus, it would have the extra challenge of avoiding roving bands of real life wasteland raiders.

All joking aside, I'll watch this show. I have a "thing" for post apocalyptic stories, be they nuclear, zombie, or otherwise.

Staffa Kar Therma: I'm confused. I thought John and Kate was going off air.

ZING!

Get the stealth skill and suit early. It's a yawn to loot and pillage from there on out.

If reality-show material are the only survivors, I'm killing myself.

/Brotherhood of steel I could live with.

Goggles_Pisano: So if there's no electricity, how are they going to shoot it? And wher do they get the food from?

Paging Donner, party of 87, er, 82, uh, 68, I mean, 56, er, 48.

Tune in next week when one of the contestants finds a gun!

This may be the stupidest thing ever. I know how I'd survive. I'd escape from the damn warehouse. There's plenty of food outside.

Screw that, kill the reality show people. Shouldn't affect your karma either.

You and me baby ain't nothing but mammals, so let's do it like they do in the discovery channel.

Living in Montana: Post-apocalyptic wasteland training.

/Ever had: to fight a rutting male elk off of your porch?
/...Your cat ever scare off a bear/moose?
/...To take a piass one morning and walk into the bathroom, lift the lid and see an entire colony of black widows?
/...To fire a gun in self defense against an animal half your size?

I rest my case. All of the above, also, are true.
//Doesn't help that it's also the weirdest and creepiest place in Fall/Winter

Wasn't there already a scientific experiment on some people that proved that this kind of thing is a REALLY bad idea?

The Discovery Channel has announced the inception of a new another reality show that will attempt to uncover that would happen in the event of a global catastrophe, by using jackasses that are desperate to be on TV and will embarrass themselves to do so.

Global Catastrophe Reality Show?



Meh, been done

Discovery HD is the best channel on cable.

/watching Deadliest Catch, at this very moment.

Buy Al Gore's Carbon Credits!!! It's our only hope!
