It always seems like TV programming can't get much stupider. You've got crumbling marraiges, people with terrible addictions and half-wait pseudo celebrities all being paraded around like King Charles Spaniels at Westminster. But then there's this.

Page Six is reporting that Pauly Shore—yes, Pauly Shore—will star in a new reality show about his search for an African orphan to adopt.

"WE have seen the future of reality TV -- and it's frightening. Variety reports that among the shows London-based Shine Group has picked up for international distribution are: Adopted, which follows Pauly Shore's efforts to adopt an African child; I Can't Believe I'm Still Single, the romantic quest of actor Eric Schaeffer to find a mate; and The Naked Office, about workplaces so desperate the staff will try group therapy involving total nudity."
