It was only a matter of time. MTV has taken the logical next step, tapping the multitude of performance artists in the Occupy Wall Street movement for the next season of reality show, The Real Thing. The advertisement — posted on Craigslist, naturally — reads:

MTV’s Real World is seeking cast members to tell their unique stories on our show. If you are over the age of 20 and appear to be between the ages of 20-24, and the description below sounds like you, we want to hear from you!
Are you a part of the OCCUPY WALL STREET movement?
If so, please contact [email protected]. Your subject heading should be YOUR NAME and WALL STREET.
Please attach 3 RECENT PHOTOS and a brief BIO, including your full NAME, DATE OF BIRTH (for ID purposes only) as well as your CONTACT INFORMATION including PHONE #.

Looks like Gil Scott-Heron’s infamous poetic assertion that The Revolution Will Not Be Televised might be a touch wide of the mark.
