CBS's Armed and Famous or Armed and Lamest?

For every 60 minute time slot (or the amount of time it took to give a few cops the photo op of their lives) the sleepy little town of Muncie, Indiana and its police department will be transformed into a joke. For these police officers, whose job to serve and protect is respected-and scrutinized to the highest possible standards of law, the work just became, apparently, less so now that Erik Estrada has graduated from "The Surreal Life" and landed the best gig he's had since "ChiPs" when he played (surprise!) a cop.

For people to actually believe that the five contestants, namely Jack Osbourne, son of rocker Ozzy, LaToya Jackson, wrestler Trish Stratus, wacko Wee Man of Jackass fame and "Ponch" would somehow not make it through the rigors of a terribly difficult TV-inflicted "boot camp" in episode one is laughable; who knows what happened when the cameras were turned off-and the actors returned to their trailers?

Well, they got guns and word is they're loaded.

So is the cast-of has-beens.

First of all, for Osbourne-who is straight out of drug rehab from his well-publicized battle with OxyContin-to be on the show and representing those who protect us is like asking his dad Ozzy to do an anti-drug commercial at any point in his lifetime. And word is that Jack has been on the anti-drug campaign trail, according to the show's official Web site. Naw, that doesn't have anything to do with the fact he's on the show...

Not straying too far from the subject of those who have not actually made much of a difference in people's lives is LaToya, more known for her wacky infomercials (of which there have been a few) and even more bizarre flings than her singing-though her country-music sojourn was worth a few snickers.

Stratus is lesser known than Chyna Doll, which is saying a lot about the show since the "Doll" is currently holed up in less-than-spiffy digs in the Vegas mansion where the Surreal Life Fame Games is being filmed. I'm sure not even half of America has even heard of Stratus. She may be on the C-list.

But the "What? Huh??" continues as you read on.
