My gut tells me that it's a less respectful riff on "Mad Mad House". I don't know about you, but I've gotten to the point where the words "reality show" induce actual nausea...

Sorry to bust in on your LJ :)
This guy is a *dick* to work for and the opportunity probably isn't that great. They *HATE* him on alt.faires.renaissance and he's a little mousy guy with an ego the size of Dallas County, TX.
