the cheezburger guy is getting a reality show

This boggles my mind! Bravo recently announced that it's working a new reality TV show, tentatively titled Huh?, following web entrepreneur Ben Huh and his staff at the offices of I Can Has Cheezburger.

Yup. The website with the cat pictures and stuff. In case you were wondering about the personalities and inner workings of a LOLcat-powered media empire, I guess this is the show for you.

Does the staff sit around like in the TMZ show, but instead of talking celebrity gossip, they think of funny cat captions? Are there crazy costumed cats roaming the halls of the office? We'll find out. Here's Bravo's brief description:
"Huh?" (working title)
Ever wonder who is behind those hilarious cat memes? Bravo goes inside the office of Ben Huh and his eclectic staff at icanhascheezburger.com, one of the largest humor publishers on the Internet known for their popular LOLs and FAILs.
I don't find it particularly surprising that they're making a reality show about Ben and his company. Heck, television viewers have proven that they'll watch a reality show about anything. No, that's not what trips me out.

What boggles my mind, and I've mentioned this before, is that I know Ben. We went to college together -- believe it or notz, he was a journalism major -- and now his claim to fortune and fame are silly cat photos and funny captions! Who would have thought? Needless to say, I will be watching this show.
