<p>This press release came out today:</p><p><span class="t"><a href="http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/060607/20060607005553.html?.v=1" target="_blank">Press Conference: First 24-Hour Live Interactive Internet TV Reality Show to Debut in June</a></span></p><p>REDBANK, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 7, 2006--OurPrisoner, the first 24-hour live interactive Internet television reality program, will be introduced at a press conference on Thursday, June 8, 2:00 PM, in the Grand Hyatt Hotel (Park Avenue at Grand Central Terminal) in the Park Avenue Room (mezzanine). The program revolves around a 35-year-old-single man who volunteered to give total control of his day-to-day living to Internet viewers 24/7 for six months without leaving the show's single-family house in New Jersey. </p><p>Through an interactive media platform viewers will vote to determine what Kieran Vogel wears, what he eats, whom he dates, to whom he talks, what music he listens to, and much, much more. He will also react to viewer calls and emails. </p><p>Kieran, who suffers from various neuroses, waived his rights to privacy and doctor-patient privilege to allow viewers to see his twice-a-week therapy sessions. </p><p>If OurPrisoner makes it through the six months, he will win various awards worth up to $500,000. Kieran gets nothing if he doesn't complete his six-month commitment.</p><p> </p><p>Will he make it? Is this a good idea? I think it could be good to see if you could get him to balance a shoe of his head while vacuuming, but I think it might be a one-trick pony. It could get boring fast.</p>
