Frank the Entertainer in a Basement Affair is a VH1 show where Frank, from various other VH1 shows, tries to find a girl he can settle down with. The idea is that Frank (mid-early 30′s) can finally move out of his parent’s basement. The biggest star of the show is his mother. The interwebs swear Frank is Jewish due to his mother. The entire show is a huge guilt trip packed into an hour a week. But the one character that stood out to America was Annie (now Anni also known as Caroline). Anni is the Alt-Hipster chick that we all rooted for because we knew she was the underdog in a sea of VH1 whores. To top it off, this morning I learned from the girl herself that she is in fact a member of the tribe JILF JILF JILF.
After watching her get kicked off the show last night (yeah, Im a bit behind on my reality tv), I had to dig deeper into who this Anni chick was. Turns out, the entire thing was a joke. Anni was there
“to do a wacky performance piece, attempting to play up the ridiculousness that is reality television and the characters it produces, a satire on a genre that is already a satire of itself. I was interested in the way reality television is reproducing female stereotypes at an alarming rate—using ‘real’ people to validate these stereotypes’ existence.”
At first this pissed me off. Who was she to ruin my reality tv experience by telling me she faked the whole thing. Then I got back to level. If the Jersey Shore can lie to me and tell me J Woww and Snooki are Italian (sorry, they ain’t Italian), then why can’t Anni give away her sole reasoning to shame the framewhores? I mean, most of the girls that go on these shows anyways are there to get face time. Once the truth settled in, I realized how amazing this girl is. The irony, the post-modernism. It all played out so perfectly. This is exactly what I’ve been wanting to do by applying for The Amazing Race. Infiltrate these crappy reality shows with hipsters. This girl is perfect.
These are the lyrics she sang that arguably got her kicked off the show (NSFW):
it’s not about pussy or dick it’s about our love–I think it’s gonna stick–like cum in my mouth when i give you a blowjob. hey mom and dad it’s time to turn your ears off. cause im going down to the basement cause im goin down to the basement cause im going down to the basement to get myself some frank!

“I live in my parents basement too. She should come visit me, if you know what I mean!”
I would leave that comment if I was a vacuous douche. Fortunately, I am only vacuous and not douchebagish enough to suggest anybody would rummage around in my basement and fulfill some sexual act.
Reality TV: Fuck the Effort of a Real Existence.
Desperate, lonely people should not be made public. They should brood in their basements and think about their lives.
No way self-referential.
Even though I haven’t seen this show, rage boils up reading this post about it.
Humanity will continue to go on regardless. The horror.
