Awareness campaigns are annoying.
There, I said it. Let the shitstorm fall upon me. I’m ready for the world to dislike my opinion and I’m prepared to point out why it’s not such an awful opinion to have. I understand that there are valid reasons behind having awareness campaigns, but I truly believe that none of those reasons are realized when most campaign promotions and events are carried out.

The show s first season, The Joe Schmo Show, aired in 2003, and its second season, Joe Schmo 2, aired in 2004. The first season s hoax was conducted as a typical reality competition show while the second hoax was a Bachelor-like dating series.
