Apartment of Hopeless-Savage-Parker-Parker-ness, Monday Evening

[swerval_zero]

Monday found Zero camped out in front of the TV, with snacks. And popcorn especially for throwing, because...

"YOU DON'T HAVE MUSIC IN ALASKA?!?!?!"

The neighbors were pretty much used to it by now.

Parker was laughing too hard at the moron to even shout back at the TV.

[swerval_zero]

"If Chad does not beat this person I am going to STORM THE STUDIO."

"Oh god, I would pay money to see that," Parker said, still laughing. She grabbed a handful of popcorn and threw it at Alaska Boy. "Lumberjacks should track this guy down and hurt him."

[swerval_zero]

"Lumberjacks are too good for him."

That was when Zero got an idea. "Parker. Get the camcorder."

Parker was about to object to the demanding, when she caught a look at Zero's face. "You're up to something." She got up from her place on the couch, and did, in fact, fetch the camcorder, handing it over. "What?"

[swerval_zero]

"Watch." Zero turned the camcorder on and pointed it at herself. "Hello, everyone, and welcome to the inaugural episode of "Zero Versus Hollywood." I'm Zero, and that--" she swung the camera toward the window briefly, "is Hollywood." A beat. "Actually, it's USC. Never mind that. Hollywood's out there, is the thing. Today, we're going to talk about a reality show! Are you ready for this? "Who Wants to be the Nation's Next Top Model," and now that I've got that mouthful out, a disclaimer: a friend of mine is competing on this show. No I won't tell you who he is, and yes I reserve the right to mock him with impunity. Today I'm going to mock this Jon guy. Apparently he's from Alaska? Where they don't have music or movies. Which is a lie because my parents played a show there when I was five. I went along and it was cold. They have snow in Alaska, by the way. And moose. Mooses. Meese? Who bloody well cares?! They also have crazy politicians, so maybe Jon should stop talking about Alaska before people remember who else came from there. And let's talk about reality shows. Not that I necessarily think most of the people on that show have two brain cells to rub together, but I'm sure in the course of a week's filming they do lots of things that make them look less stupid than what makes it to screen, so why is it that's what we're shown? What does that say about America, and what does it say about Hollywoood that people being stupid is what they think America wants? Think about that. This is Zero, signing out."

Zero hit stop, lowered the camera, and looked at Parker. "How was that?"

Parker choked, then glee'd. "You're gonna be a star, that's how that was. The combo of average-viewer with behind-the-scenes, since your family's in the biz-- perfect!"

[swerval_zero]

"You don't think I overdid it?" Zero worried.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"I may be used to you after four years, almost, but I know you have more of that in you, and therefore I know how easy this is going to be," Parker said, grinning wicked and wide. "And people who aren't used to you will love it. I'm thinking webisodes. YouTube. Then they'll want moooore."

[swerval_zero]

"I'll upload it in the mornin'," Zero declared. "I need to make a title card...oh oh do you think it needs a theme song?" Everything needed a theme song.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Duh. Either one of your songs, Dusted Bunnies, or heck, use one of the Teal Dear songs that never made it to CD." Parker grinned. "You had a few extra, didn't you?"

[swerval_zero]

"Yeah..." Zero said. "Ooh! Ooh! I think I might even have one about movies that suck."

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"I have a plan. And with what I've done with Peepcapolypse, this is child's play by comparison." Parker grinned. "Star time! Play time! Money and fame time! Not that you don't have that, but hey. More is also fun."

[swerval_zero]

"My parents have that," Zero said. "I just leech. I wanna stop leechin' an' do stuff."

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"And how better than this? Criticism and journalism and investigation," Parker schemed. "You can find the clubs and bands that need to be seen, when you want, as well as all the stuff people have already heard of being questioned." She grinned. "It's going to be faaaaymus!"
