Way back when there was more to the Real World then watching dumb sluts get drunk and have hysterical screaming matches, you were either a Puck person or a Pedro person.  At least, I assume that there were Pedro people.  I didn't really know any of them, since most of the people I knew found MTV's obvious manipulations and Pedro's relentless sanctimony profoundly irritating.  The closest I could find was someone who would remark that it was probably a pain to share a house with Puck.  Still, Pedro Zamora (more easily identified as "the guy who had AIDS on the Real World: San Francisco") was main focus of that season and it was only Pucks' unwillingness to follow that script that made the show memorable (and ultimately ended with Puck's expulsion).

Well, in a move that would be completely surreal if we weren't talking about MTV (insert obligatory comment about MTV programming and lack of videos here), they've actually made a biopic about Pedro, which is airing on MTV tonight.  And here's the part that really gets me--they're using actors to play everyone that participated in the "reality" show.  I can only assume that this is going to include re-enactments of the stagey stuff that we watched on the show in the first place, which is a little further down the hall of mirrors than I ever care to go.  Then again, I was a Puck person, after all.

Although, just to set the record straight, everyone knows that the most profoundly annoying and dislikeable person that season--and perhaps in all of Real World history--was Judd.
