Calling all self-absorbed, slutty, psycho 18- to 24-year-olds ...
Yes, you, person who hangs out at Belana and sips Red Bull-laced mixed drinks trying to figure out who you can take home. And you, muscle-shirt and flip-flop wearing bro who thinks you're God's gift. And you, "my-life-is-like-totally'-The-Hills" girl who has no problem getting drunk and fighting (or kissing) another girl.
All of you, the biggest day of your life is here.
MTV's "The Real World" is having an open casting call in Fresno this Sunday, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Roe.
Perhaps one of you will have the honor of repeating how proud our last "Real World" participant -- one Trisha Cummings of the Sydney season -- made the great city of Fresno. Trisha, you might remember, set the bar high with her propensity for intolerance and violence.
Oh, and to make things even funner on Sunday, Trisha will be there waiting tables lending advice to would-be Real Wolders.
Here's the stuff you need to know if you wanna try out, via a press release that will soon be deleted from my inbox:
Applicants are asked to bring a recent picture of themselves (which will not be returned) and photo ID. Please be between the ages of 18 & 24 to apply.This season we are specifically seeking people with the following attributes: Leadership experience (student government, college resident advisor, job manager, camp counselor), musical ability, seasoned travelers who speak Spanish, lifesaving skills (lifeguard, EMT), athleticism (particularly water sports).
Please note, although these qualities may give applicants an advantage in the casting process, they ARE NOT a requirement. As always, The Real World welcomes anyone with a great personality and a willingness to share their life with the world.
Comments:
Damn their age restrictions!

I drove to SF to audition for the Apprentice a long time ago. Very embarrassing to admit. I actually interviewed with the old guy (George). He was/is a Yankee fan and I am a Red Sox fan...yeah, that's why I didn't get the gig.
Here's to 15 minutes of fake fame. I cannot believe the Real World is still on. That show hasn't been interesting since they kick Puck out for being mean to Pedro (RIP little man).
PS - Y'all should come out to the Creative Fresno Blender this Friday at Belana...I hear they make a wicked Red Bull beverage.

LOL!! that's actually the last time I watched the real world. I was ticked off that they kicked off Puck. So ticked that I said screw this show. I did come back to watch those real world/road rules activity shows, mainly because Puck was brought back to participate, and the black guy who got kicked off in the LA show.

That sounds especially 'funner'...sadly, i think most of your readers are over the casting age limit, mike.

... and the whole "reading" thing might separate Beehivers from wannabe Real Worlders

Blog with more pictures please...
Blogs have too many words...
Real World doesn't make participants read...it's "unscripted"
Posted by: Travis Sheridan at September 30, 2008 2:19 PM
I vote Travis' comment as comment of the day! That made me laugh... now people are looking at me!
Posted by: C1 at September 30, 2008 2:29 PM
LOL, I think this one article, alone, will have most of North Fresno at Roe, mothers and daughters alike. I think I'm going to roll out there and check out... Ha, Ha, Got ya!
Who cares about the show that goes against its own name... It's awesome to see people willfully PIMP themselves out!

C1 -
Thanks for the love...
I'm with Mr. Incognito, I think it is worth a gander to capture some of this stupidity in person...super fresh!!!

Please oh Please, MTV dont pick someone from Fresno. Give us a chance. I can just picture Matthew Fashion coming out of the woodwork for this one!

Are we destined to be the moronic capitol of the world? Haven't we done enough image building using local stupid people? Someone out there is laughing all the way to the bank which is being "saved" by even more stupid people.

I'm down. I never watch MTV... honestly I rarely even watch TV, but it would be an interesting experience.

Wait a second. I finally read this g.d. post, and I realized, Mr. Osegueda, you were -- either unwittingly or perhaps maliciously -- insulting me in the first sentence.
I have hung out at Belana (WITH YOU, FRIEND), drinking my favorite drink (sugar-free Red Bull and vodka -- tastes like Smarties candy), scanning the horizon for someone worthy of my evening attentions.
Shun. Shun on you, Mike Oz.

Are you more likely to get drunk and fight a girl or kiss her?
Posted by: Mike Oz at September 30, 2008 4:16 PM
Unshun.
Don't act like you don't know me, Mike Oz. I get drunk, loudly talk s**t about every girl in the place, and then fall asleep in your and Missy T's car on the way home.
Reshun.

MikeOz -
I think Heather's answer to your question should be classified an NSFW...
H-
You will have to venture out to Belana on Friday for the Creative Fresno Blender...Why am I pimping this so hard? Oh, yeah, because I think Fig Garden is a fun place to people watch...
Posted by: Travis Sheridan at September 30, 2008 4:22 PM
in Mike Oz's defense, the original post said Pangea, not Belana.
:::yes i'm on here all day long:::
Posted by: mdub420 at September 30, 2008 4:25 PM
Damn, man -- you must read this stuff quick because it said Pangea for like two minutes max, until I realized I put the wrong Fig Garden place that ends with A.

I'm hangin' out with Travis this Friday, I'll be the guy with the binoculars and note pad, Oh and I'll be the one handing "H" her sugar free drinks too! Come on, really, SUGAR FREE? You'd think this was TCBY or something...
Posted by: Mr. Incognito at September 30, 2008 6:40 PM
Low blow, Mr. Incognito! You, too, are shunned!
And, for the record, when you drink as much as I do, you have to find ways to cut down on the calories. Vodka and sugar-free RB is the closest thing to drinking water I can find.

Darn, I'm too old to audition my "I'm not afraid to 'go there'" attitude.
... God, I'm too old...

I'm with Heather. I save my Weight Watcher flex points so I can maximize my liquid diet.
BTW, hard liquor (TWSS) is really healthy.
Mr. Incognito, I'll be looking for your binoculars on Friday...
Posted by: Travis Sheridan at September 30, 2008 8:28 PM
Speaking of Fresno hotspots, Mike, were you at Bentley's last friday?
Posted by: Kevin B at September 30, 2008 9:47 PM
"H",
Come on girl... We go back like Vanilla and sprinkles "kid"!
Travis bring the popcorn buddy.
Posted by: Mr. Incognito at October 1, 2008 3:57 PM
All right, Mr. I. You be Vanilla and I'll be Sprinkles.
Posted by: Heather at October 1, 2008 4:05 PM
Yo... we can make a song out of this like Kanye and that English chick!
"You can be my sprinkles girl"...
