Please somebody make reality TV stop:
LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- The UPN television network is preparing a reality series that follows Amish teenagers having their first experiences with modern conveniences and outside society, part of a religious rite of passage that tests their faith.
Network executives are informally calling it "Amish in the City," although they said Sunday the title will likely change.
"To have people who don't have television walk down Rodeo Drive and be freaked out by what they see, I think will be interesting television," said CBS chairman Leslie Moonves, who also oversees UPN. "It will not be denigrating to the Amish."

The show will be about culture shock, not religion, and he said it would be like a reverse version of Fox's "The Simple Life," where socialites Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie lived for a time on an Arkansas farm.
We're just another step closer to Fox turning into a hardcore sex channel.
