Real—or real lame?

I've been meaning to post this for a couple of weeks. And in light of the previous post (that I think is a fabulous example of this technique being done the right way), I tender this counter example.



It's faker than the "Hey, I'm looking for something sweet that doesn't mess with my workout" faux-mercials in The Biggest Loser.

The snowboarder? Don't ya think he's miked a little too well.
But he said "@#$%," it must be real.
Yeah right.
But he tripped. Poorly performed in IMNSHO.

How do I know for sure? My sister is the chick in the scarf about 3/4 way through. She's an improv comedian in Denver hired to "create excitement" in the crowd. Her boyfriend froze his @$$ off for hours as one of the network drones.

Lame concept + thousands of dollars in production costs = lame with extra lame sauce and a side of lamey mclame.
