Surreality Television


Passengers on Jet Blue's Flight 292 yesterday were forced to choose between watching themselves die on television or a supermodel's realtime breast exam, in a dark twist on the lure Reality TV. Live coverage of the near perfect emergency landing at LAX was covered on most major news networks, including those watched by passengers on the plane. Meanwhile, supermodel Tyra Banks underwent a live sonogram on her own television show to quell rumors that she had breast implants. Oversharing in the media? You decide.
