Former Kid Nation participant takes action

Trouble is brewing in sorta-fake ghost town Bonanza City, home to the 40 pre-pubescent pioneers who participated in child-exploitation reality series, Kid Nation. The one-hour CBS show, which never really lived up to potential but was still sort of awesome. We already knew that Bonanza was more than $20,000 gold stars and root beer floats, but now a former contestant who was injured during taping is suing the "town council" of the Columbia Broadcasting System for anywhere between 300-450 gold stars. The stupidly-named Vulture Blog has a round-up of known injuries:
  • Four pioneers accidentally drank bleach from an unmarked soda bottle
  • 11-year-old Divad who burned her face on a stove but said she was fine afterwards
Our money is on jew crew member, entrepreneur, Shakespearean actor, pimp of KN, and future of America™, Jared.
