Wow. You guys are pretty brutal. Ever think that maybe a little understanding might be able to help cross the divide you see between yourselves and these people? Why so much hatred towards them? So what if you both have different views and styles, can't you coexist? DC's a tiny town, but it's not THAT tiny.

This is SO the greasers vs. the socs. Although, the hiptards vs. the douches is more appropriate. Stay golden, Pony Boy!

Great. All we need is for America to start believing that D.C. is made up of nothing but dumb ass preppy WASP Young Republicans who like to pretend they are important. Besides, weren't most of these kids already on TV a few years ago, in episodes of My Super Sweet 16?

Where's the gay LNS peoples? They're all at Cobalt, last time I checked.

Or, could we combine LNS with LDS (Mormons)? I'd watch that.

Keep telling yourself that, YouPeople. Most of LNS members are "new money" at best with ethnic last names conveniently changes to try and blend into the Anglo-centric aristocracy of the 1950s. How seriously will this show be taken by a production company that has brought you such hits as: "Dress My Nest", "Pageant School: Becoming Miss America", "Extreme Weddings" and "Outrageous Proposals"? I mean, they can't even spell vain correctly in their own invite.

Good catch goat boy, but no. We like to think of it as "encouraging" them to "broaden" their horizons.

I am willing, for the sake of keeping this city free of another variety of trash, to go under cover for this show. I've been told that I'm good looking. I'm also 29. I'd sneak in as the older, wiser house "father". Slowly, I'd start to Hellenize them all, one by one, until they realized the very emptiness that had been their lives until then. That's right - Hellenize. Then, I'd take over the show, the network, and eventually LNS. I'd turn it into a group promoting worthwhile things like, I don't know, Hellenizing more people?

The sad part is that these fly-by-night dippers will get their 8 minutes of fame. The funny part is when the dawn arrives, they get fired from their day jobs.

Think of the upside: If this actually happens we could figure out where they are going, stop by, and humiliate them on national TV (if it didn't get edited out, of course). Think of the pranking possibilities...

Please consider for a moment what a LNS reality show would mean: 1. These pitiful clowns will be exposed for what they really are; sad jerks who have difficulty making friends. 2. We’ll be able to see at least one of these people throw up. Maybe through the nose. 3. Like-minded people in D.C. and the surrounding area will all want to join LNS, thus ridding our favorite bars of these kids. 4. It will be really, really funny. 5. If we’re lucky, it will be an intrusive show that will butt into their private lives. We will then be able to see a couple of them getting handouts from daddy. And really, most of these kids rely HEAVILY on said handouts. That said, I would be shocked if the show made it off the ground. She sheer vapidity of those who would join such a group will likely be obvious to those making the show and will stop short before investing any real money in the project. Personally, I think we should be doing all we can to encourage this. I want to laugh and laugh and laugh…

Yup, looks like Rusty was first out of the gate. Wonkette followed four days later, with a link to Rusty's blog. Well done.

first made famous by Wonkette and later by an investigative report by the Washington City Paper Ahem. Incorrect! Not to pay myself on the back, but: http://whyihatedc.blogspot.com/2006/06/this-is-mean-for-sake-of-meanness.html Pat, pat, pat.

@ gingers12 Grow a sense of humor and learn that most comments on DCist and anywhere else on the intertubes are not to be taken seriously. Imagining killing the people we dislike is far healthier and fun than actually killing them, despite the fact that the people we're discussing have absolutely no valuable contribution to humanity. And I'd rather not ignore them. Their sense of entitlement and overinflated egos makes for good comedy.

I'll only watch this show if it features steel cage matches between the Late Night Shooters and the Brightest Young Things . . . dueling self-promotional headcases from all over the cultural/political spectrum!

"Reality" concept: All participants must support themselves entirely on their low-level staffer salaries. No assistance from Mommy and Daddy allowed. Watch the wankers scramble to find cheap group housing in Columbia Heights, make their first visit to a dive bar, and interact with ordinary working-class people without condescension. Although that last one's probably impossible - they'd implode first.

This is old news, DCist. And I'd definitely question the assertion that LNS was "first made famous" by Wonkette and City Paper. I like both just fine, but LNS was around for a while before either took notice, especially CP--the CP article came after a Washington Post article, so it was hardly a scoop. The posters who are going off about torching people and something with padlocks? need to get a grip. First, y'all are scary. Second, I haven't even heard of any of those other PBJ shows, so I doubt this is anything to get worked up about. Third, ignoring LNS altogether maximizes the happiness in the universe.

how about we drop them off on u street, light them on fire, run over them, then napalm what's left. See, now this is the kind of "high concept" I can get behind. SYNOPSIS: After a night of clubbing and promiscuity, a group of priveleged trendy hiptards discover their Life Clocks are blinking red. They spend the season avoiding "retirement" at the hands of professional "Sandmen" and "Bladerunners." WORKING TITLE: Late Night Logan's Run or Do Man-whores Dream of Electric Sheep-le?

LNS is based on politics. It equates popularity with imagined political power. How boring. Let's go watch overglorified Congressional staff assistants go bar hopping in Georgetown with their inflated egos based on their ability to accessorize J.Crew outfits.

Is there anyway to make sure their applications "accidentally" head to the Thom Felicia makeover show listed on that page? That would make for a much more interesting show.

really. between this story and macaca earlier on, its been a great day here at dcist. i sincerely hope this abortion of a tv show never gets made though. how anyone could it for more than 30 seconds without smashing their tv is beyond me. isn't rock of love 2 enough for people?

thecoburn

Wed, 06 Feb 2008 14:26:18 -0500

why does every city seem to loathe the idea of having a reality show based in their town? I think viewers are pretty aware that the people portrayed on the show arent dont represent what the city is all about. It might be nice to show that DC isnt all about politics.

Hopefully every last one of them becomes very famous and than comes down with a massive case of the Brittanys...after moving out of DC

Hopefully this is just a rouse to get all the LNSers to show up at the same time at the same place. Put a padlock on the door and problem solved. or drop them off in the middle of U street!

This show can not be allowed to happen. Imagine all the V.D. crossbreeding into a superstrain of V.D. that can only be killed with fire. I can only hope they get a decent budget. The bills for popped collars, Grey Goose, and table service alone would be enough to bankrupt most production companies.

I just threw up in my mouth a little. Though, I can't wait to see them do the hiptard version of this reality show. Once a douche, always a douche no matter if you are wearing a Lacoste polo or skinny jeans. And thus, this is the last I'm saying about these two social scenes.
