Yes, this is real. No, I am not laughing. OK, maybe a little.
I’ll bet when you think of Pac-Man chasing some ghosts around a little light maze full of strange pellets, you never thought that someone would try to turn that already ridiculous concept into an even more ridiculous reality TV show. According to Deadline, Merv Griffin Entertainment is trying to do just that. They are teaming up with Namco to produce this no doubt amazing TV revolution.
Says Roy Bank, Merv Griffin’s TV president:
The idea we have is to take what Pac-Man is and bring it to life, to bring what is essentially the world’s biggest game of tag to television.
I see no idea how this could possibly be anything other but awesome. What say you?

Um… “awesome” wouldn’t be my first choice of words.
