From the last page of Left Behind, a recent Washington Post article about cigarettes, phone sex, and other things disappearing from our culture:

"Real people going on game shows. When we were kids, we'd watch 'The Price is Right,' and the contestant would have curlers in her hair -- she'd look like your neighbor next door. Real people got a chance to shine. Now, everyone comes out of some stupid mold from a moronic casting director's idea of what is exciting to watch. All the reality is removed."

That was a huge problem with the Billy Bush version of LMAD. Everyone looked like they came from central casting (and probably did).

I'm sure a bit of this may have stemmed from the contestants she recently played with on Million Dollar Password.

Regardless, that was a good article, and it brought back fond memories. Mixtapes were awesome, indeed.
