Naked Cowboy snags a reality show

If you've ever been to New York City, chances are you've found yourself in the neon Disneyland of Times Square. If you've ever been to Times Square, then you've almost definitely run into The Naked Cowboy. The Naked Cowboy is neither naked, nor a cowboy. Rather, he is a dude who hangs out in the middle of Times Square in a pair of tighty-whities and charges tourists for pictures as he bangs away on an acoustic guitar. He's been doing this for years in all kinds of weather, so for his trouble, he's getting his own reality show. And you went to law school, loser.
The Cowboy's show, brought to us by the producers of the upcoming Hulk Hogan's Celebrity Championship Wrestling, is described as basically an American Idol for street performers. However, prospective contestants needn't start on the song and dance lessons: this is purely style over substance.
