Big male-ing deal

Faux tweeted a while back about Drew Carey's hint of male models on The Price is Right. The show has now made it official.

For now it's a one-week-only stunt. They're recruiting a pretty male face to smile at the merchandise in shows taping for the week of October 15th. There's also a web taping for the semi-finalists in the cute guy competition.

My TPiR-indifference has long been on record, so this latest stunt leaves me thoroughly unmoved. I've seen heated arguments on the web and I just don't care either way. It's not a brave new world of gender equality, and it's not the end of western civilization as we know it. It's just a game show using pretty people to show off the prizes. What else is new?

By the way, the picture from the show's website makes it look like the female model is about to drill the male model right in the chest. She doesn't like the new competition? Oh, just kidding.
