Okay, /jp/. Would you watch or participate in a show where six selected NEETs and shut ins with varying degrees of social competence and mental stability stay in a room together for one year for $3 million?

>> No.8141011

I'd watch it.
I'd consider taking part but I have a huge fear of cameras and I'm super insecure. Particularly about my body. I wouldn't want the public to see my self-harm scars, man tits, or tiny penis.

>> No.8141016

I'd participate. Don't really have any shame, and I'd just be sleeping, fapping, and on /jp/ all day. Would be torture to watch such boring tripe though.

>> No.8141023

The problem would be more with being on television than living with others. Five people who will do their best to ignore your existence is pretty tolerable; one million people watching you is not.

You could try to avoid each other. Some may be bigger douches than others.

>> No.8141046

But I like having my dick exposed and rubbing it. Can I still join? I'd love that 3m usd to fully enjoy being NEET without worrying about anything.

I used to do it to relieve stress. It was preferable over taking it out on people or my belongings.

Well someone has to purge themselves sometimes

Oh wow. Now I feel terrible for enjoying that show. I can't really blame him for feeling that way though. I probably would too.

And yet there would still be -less- autism than shows like big brother or american housewives

I haven't done drugs or alcohol for four years. Now I'm married with a new baby and a stepson. I work at a logistics company. Were things different, I would much rather be working in the entertainment business. I just went about it the wrong way. —As told to Kate Ward

Have no idea if anon changed it or what.

He did change it. I thought it was stupid but I'm not going to lie, I chuckled.

>> No.8141474

>>8141470
I had no idea he even had a kid before that so it was really more just very confusing to me. Might help if I knew what the show was before today, I didn't have cable before 2007.
