Stereotype of the Month Entry
(7/31/02)


Another Stereotype of the Month entry:

Last night I stumbled on the end of a show on Fox (our channel 2). It might have been 'Meet the Marks'. It had two whites guys in full ceremonial dress dancing around and chanting. I was mentally composing a letter of complaint when two Indian guys walked in and everybody looked embarrassed. That is how it ended.

Maybe you can get some more information from your sources.

Rob's reply
A description of the show from a website:

MEET THE MARKS is a new hidden camera show premiering in July on FOX. Fully scripted storylines will call for someone from the outside world (the "Mark") to walk into the show and become the guest star without knowing that he or she is part of a television episode.
