he is the man that made internet television in the year 1999... he took his multimillions of dollars from investors in his internet tv station and bought a bunker under manhattan and got a couple hundred volunteers to sign away rights to their image..
everyone got a bunk with a tv that could be switched to any of the cameras in the bunker (everything was monitored: shower, gun range, everyone elses bunks... etc.)
Maybe the internet has jaded me, but this feels ludicrously fake. Especially the fact that no one is calling the cops or any sort of real security to take out a guy who is so obviously not really trying to break free from the people "escorting" him away.
