Unreal.

From CNN:

Ashton Kutcher -- Twitter's top tweeter -- warned he may pull the plug on his tweeting if the micro-blogging service partners on a reality TV show.

"It's all fun and games until somebody gets stalked," Kutcher wrote in a Twitter posting late Monday.

Variety magazine reported Monday that San Francisco-based Twitter.com had partnered with TV producers Reveille and Brillstein Entertainment on an unscripted show that would be "putting ordinary people on the trail of celebrities in a revolutionary competitive format."

Twitter co-founder Biz Stone said there was "no official Twitter TV show" in the works, but "we have a lightweight, non-exclusive, agreement with the producers which helps them move forward more freely."

Kutcher used Twitter to post a link to a news report about the partnership along with this message: "Wow I hope this isn't true. I really don't like being sold out. May have to take a twitter hiatus."

Stone, who started Twitter just three years ago with co-founder Jack Dorsey, published a blog Monday saying that Twitter is "very open" and that "openness is not limited to the Web or even to mobile phones."

And, he wrote, "Twitter's open approach might have the power to transform television -- the dominant communications receiver worldwide. We're very excited to see where these experiments take us."

A Twitter reality TV show is actually the logical extension of that insipid genre. Let me guess the pitch: a cinéma vérité-style, jangly series of  quick-cut vignettes with OCD/ADD-addled fuckwads who tweet about tweeting with lots of "OMG's!" and "LOL's!"

Ashton Kutcher doesn't like the reality TV idea and might stop tweeting in protest. That's a real loss to the culture.

Is Kutcher the real-life Joey from Friends? I mean, he's the dumb one, right?
