How sad is it that my new touchstone for how old I am is "am I too old to audition for Reality tv?"

I guess that's all you get after you've passed the driving, voting & drinking ages. I am currently too old for Real World (which I've actually never seen) and American Idol. I am still in the range for The Apprentice (blah) and The Amazing Race (yay!)

I will not even deem things like The Bachelor & Fear Factor with the respect of checking the rules.

How can--what?! How can you be too old to audition for any of those things? You personally, and anyone?

Wow, I guess society now thinks that if you're past thirty you really do go in the garbage bin.

Not that I'm assuming you're past thirty. ;)

Yep, I looked, and you're hardly any older than I am. Good lord, what's the cutoff age for these things?

The American Idol cutoff was *raised* to 28 this past season. Real World cuts off at 24!

Fer cryin' out loud. Is that to make sure that everyone on there is childish, inexperienced, and less capable of behaving in an uninterestingly grown-up manner?

Ha! I'm 28. But yeah, apparently, MTV and Fox at least regard me as a geezer.
