Resistance through reality TV? Young Palestinians battle to become 'President'

[NCTraveler]

"But the competitors weren't trying to prove they were skilled singers and dancers. The earnest performers were hoping to win something much more serious – they were fighting to become "The President" as part of a reality TV show."

"Of course the winner, to be chosen on June 25, won’t become a real head of state. But he or she -- plus three runners-up -- will be named unofficial youth envoys to three European countries and Russia. They will also get the opportunity to shadow a Palestinian Authority minister."

Interesting idea for a reality tv show. A little more on the serious side. Building young leaders is a good thing.
