I know I know, this NBC Conan/Leno stuff is everywhere. HOWEVER, this is the one video about it to watch about it. Sure, it’s in Taiwanese… but betrayal, pride and prejudice are universal. So are superheroes!

In this new reality-TV-saturated world of ours, has the genre’s pioneer swapped stories about sexuality for stories about sex? “The Real World Washington DC” attempts to knock some sense into these drunk crazy sex-hungry animals by giving them Human Rights Campaign jobs, religion, patriotically inspired decor and you know, um, a hot tub and two bisexuals.
