In the past several months, a reality show war has broken out in South Boston, with several production companies casting for various concepts. Locals have shunned the projects, for fear of getting Jersey Shore-d, while some argue the Southie the production companies are looking for - Irish families crammed into three-deckers - no longer exists.

Bring on the drunken catfights, addicts and criminals for the edification of the viewing public. Anyone who signs on for this is not a Southie resident, I don't care how long they lived there.
Hey...all this crapola is our own fault. TV only gives us what we ask for and society wants FAKE REALITY, just diversions. I like television diversions as well from time to time, but that seems to be all anyone wants now. When's the last time you read a book?
Tug Yourgrau's company may be at the other end of the Red Line, but nothing in his background indicates he knows anything about Southie: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tug_Yourgrau
