now casting: koreatown reality show

Came across this Craiglist posting... it's a casting call for "interesting, attractive, colorful Asian-Americans," ages 18 to 30, to star in a reality show, apparently in vein of Jersey Shore, The Hills, Real World, etc., following people living and experiencing "the Koreatown life." Do you have telegenic train wreck potential? Apply now! You could be the Asian Snooki:

Looking for interesting, attractive, colorful Asian-Americans to cast in a reality show similar to JERSEY SHORE, REAL WORLD, THE HILLS, etc.. We need attractive Asian-Americans with lively, strong, and unique personalities between the ages of 18 to 30 with equally interesting life stories and perspectives to share, especially individuals who know about and/or experienced the Koreatown life. If you are not Asian but are obsessed with Asian culture or people in some way, email us and please explain.

Please email us headshots/photos and a cover letter briefly describing yourself and why you should be included in this show. Be sure to include basic contact info such as name, age, phone #, email, and any other bits of interesting information that will make you stand out.

We will begin casting and filming on-camera interviews in LOS ANGELES or HOLLYWOOD, CA next week so please send in your info ASAP!
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't intrigued by the premise of this show. You know "the K-Town life" is totally ripe for the reality show treatment. Hell, I'm surprised this hasn't already been tried before. I'm already imagining the can't-stop-watching train wreck this show has the potential to be.
