Stay clean, kids

John Cena makes a nice living as a fake wrestler, but he's now branching out. He's becoming a bigwig at Nickelodeon, and one of his projects is a new game show called Keep It Spotless, due "later this year."

Web wiseacres have dubbed the project the opposite of Double Dare. Instead of getting sloppy and slimy, kids will do paint-filled stunts while trying to stay as clean as possible. We all like clean children, no?

It doesn't look like Cena will host the show. He'll just be a behind-the-scenes showrunner. Maybe he'll help clean kids who emerge less than spotless from the stunts.

Yes, I'm sounding a little cynical here, but I keep remembering that scene in Quiz Show when the supposed hero watches pro wrestling on TV. Everybody knows pro wrestling is fake, the movie seems to say, so why do people get so upset about fake game shows? Still, I assume that Keep It Spotless will not prearrange outcomes. There's a federal law on the subject.
