The new fall tv season is right around the corner. And no other show, save the new season of The Office, has whetted our pop culture appetites like the awkward pre-pube train wreck that is CBS’ Kid Nation: “The Show That Let’s KIDS Abuse THEMSELVES!” Kid Nation rounded up a solid group of small children — most of whom seem to come from intelligent, upper middle class homes — and threw them into a southwest shantytown to fen for themselves. And if you think that this is some sort of fakey movie-set where the kids are secretly coddled, think again: The parents of these poor kids signed a waiver removing CBS from any sort of responsibility of one of the kids happens to DIE. Where are the pro-lifers when you really need them, people??? And the parents only got $5,000! Though, on second though, most of them would probably have paid sleepaway camp prices to have their kids out of their hair for a few weeks.

Anyway, that aside, the preview on CBS.com looks a-MAY-zing! But maybe that’s just because the ratio of nerdy children to attractive children is so different from actual school (nerds outnumbering the attractive like… 30 to 1), that watching Alpha kids squirm and cry when the nerds gang up on them is so awesome. Like, healing-my-deeply-ingrained-inner-wounds-awesome. Almost as healing as when I found out my childhood bully has AIDS. (Seriously, very sad, but sort of makes you wonder about God, in the sense that I’m almost sure I prayed for this to happen when I was 9. Moving on.)

While watching the Kid Nation preview, I happened to notice a pretty amazing Simi-Lebrity, and couldn’t not share it with you. So here is the amazing resemblance between Nerdy Child #205 and white rapper Eminem.

I kid you not, this is going to be the best kid’s gameshow since the terrifying final round funhouse run in Legends of the Hidden Temple, where a kid once was so scared of the “Aztecs” that popped out of nowhere to steal their medallions, he literally hopped the fence and ran off the set. Priceless.
