People go through all kinds of transformations (remember Britney’s  Kojak phase? How about Kojak’s Britney phase? OK, bad examples) so why can’t an ex-terrorist, axe murderer, or CEO be groomed to fit in with society? No, please don’t answer because it’s just a rhetorical question. We don’t really want an answer, we only want the fame and fortune that will follow us around after we pitch this “extremely” excellent TV reality show concept (drum roll, please): Extremist Makeover!

bin Laden knows exactly who has been naughty: all infidels!

Here’s the pitch:

Tagline: Can washed-up fanatics be washed-up and assimilated into society?

Synopsis: We take take ex-terrorists and ex-cons and attempt to re-introduce them to society by giving them a haircut and a new wardrobe (and yes, a shave, obviously), and teach them life skills other than violence.

For example, the “Unabomber” (remember him? No, well click here)  just needs a good shave and to trade in that hoody for a tweed sports jacket and he could easily slip back into the university system. Television viewers can watch as he is challenged to do everyday tasks and the minute he utters a death threat or sends a mail bomb, he goes back to prison.

Don’t poo-poo this idea. You know someone out there somewhere is going to make it happen, because we’ve hit every demographic. Men want to watch serial killers on TV, and women love to watch bad boys make positive changes in their lives.

So listen to our latest podcast and yuck as David neglects to do his Taliban impression (it usually involves shaking of fists and lots of spitting — the kids love it!) and instead makes the Jihadist sound like a poor imitation of Borat. In his defence, he really was quite drunk.

Brilliant or Stupid? Don't knock it til you've seen Mugabe's new sweater...
