An average guy is chosen to compete on Lap of Luxury, a reality show that, unbeknownst to him, is fake and populated with actors. It was a cruel joke — but not on "star" Matt Kennedy Gould, who proved to be a charismatic mensch (and won $100,000 for his troubles). The laugh was on the clichs of the reality-show genre (the smarmy host, the typecast contestants, the cheesy elimination ceremony) parodied by this sharp, funny — and genuinely touching — spoof.

Epic times call for epic art, and nothing moved us more than The Return of the King. Other things we loved: Louis Vuitton, William Boyd and BBC's The Office And to the Atlanta group OutKast, we say "Stank you very much!"
