Are you an otaku? Do you want your fifteen minutes of fame? Do you not care if millions of TV viewers see you on a reality show and make fun of you for being a huge dork?

Well AnimeExpo and MTV can hook you up!

MTV wants big dopey fangirls/boys for their reality show True Stories, which apparently has been on MTV for ten years even though I’ve never heard of it. Not like I ever watched much MTV though (actually, does anyone still watch MTV??), except for a brief infatuation with Pimp My Ride back when I last had cable about five years ago.

It seems there are only two rules (you have to appear between 16 and 28? Most girls these days look 16 by the time they turn 11…).

Individuals must appear to be between the ages of 16 and 28 and must identify as a fanboy/fangirl.

Yes, reality television has all the intellectual value of competitive nose-picking, but fans of the pro-gaming scene might be interested in checking out tonight’s debut of Survivor: Gabon, featuring 22-year old Super Smash Brothers champ Ken Hoang. And lots of hot chicks, if that’s your thang…

Personally, I’m still chuffed that Malay contestant Yau-man Chan didn’t make the cut a couple years back. He was the muthafuckin’ man…

Survivor: Gabon premieres tonight at 8pm.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned from running this site over the last seven years’, it’s that no matter how much I think I know about something, there’s always someone out there whose levels of obsessive compulsion dwarf mine.

If that someone is you, you might be interested in an upcoming episode of MTV’s ‘True Life‘, which will focus on nerd-dom in all its’ glory. I don’t know anything about ‘True Life’, but if Grant Morrison is getting namedropped on MTV, it can’t be all bad.

Do you hope to one day be the next Jim Lee or Grant Morrison, and are willing to pursue that dream at all costs? And does your family and loved ones look at your lifestyle like you’re crazy?

If so, then MTV’s award-winning documentary series “True Life” wants to hear from you!

However, I get the queasy feeling that the episode, which is tentatively titled ‘True Life: I’m a Fanboy‘ will probably air under the title ‘True Life: I’m Never Getting Laid‘. Only time will tell…
