Brother's Eye for the Lame Guy

The Hollywood Reporter says that Showtime has ordered a pilot for a show called, Make Me Cool:

[A] squad of hip African Americans helps terminally uncool individuals -- not just Caucasians -- overcome their obstacles.

Though a reality show, this sounds more like a public service, although there actually needs to be a S.W.A.T. team that stops white teenagers from copping too much hip-hop style, like Seth Green in Can't Hardly Wait. Fo' shizzle, my nizzle.

Some "hip" African Americans we'd like to help Gothamist over our obstacles: Samuel L. Jackson, Dave Chappelle, and Tracey Reese.

What an incredibly lame idea for a show.

Black eye for the white guy?

Seth Green is lame.

Well, 'Can't Hardly Wait' did have the distinction of also being named after a Replacements song.

Oh wait, I'm thinking of the recently released remake "Love don't cost a thing".

I know it's not true reality but "Can't buy me Love" already covered this, and I think it's dangerous territory. (anyone remember what happened when he shit on his friends house?)
