Gettin' older and grumpier

I've already whined about age discrimination on game shows. So this post is nothing new.

But another casting call has gone out with an age requirement. This time it's 18-30. And for good measure, there's a gender requirement, too. Only guys need apply.

To be fair, the show is listed as an "EXTREME CHALLENGE GAME SHOW" (caps definitely in the original). Which means the project undoubtedly involves some heavy lifting in the physical stunt department. It's understandable why 75-year-old grandmothers might not want to participate.

The ideal contestant will be "adventurous...an adrenaline junky...dare devil." And he'll do just about anything for money. Like drinking donkey urine?

If you want to sign up, good luck. This sounds like something from Spike, though no network is listed. Safe to say it's not Oprah's outlet.
