The Real World is filming in Washington DC right now and as always, stories are popping up left and right in local news about the cast. However, the most recent news out of the house is more about production than the actual castmates. Apparently people who went to a recent "Put Your Best Foot Forward" dating event in Washington, DC were asked to sign a waiver, as I guess some members of the cast where there. There were a couple of stipulations: 1) You couldn't be a union actor (or else they would have had to pay them a SAG or AFTRA fee to use their image or likeness) and 2) You had to be OK possibly getting an STD if you decided to have sex with any of the castmates. Ummm, what? This clause makes sense. The Real World has always been one of the first shows to represent differences in humanity that are hot button topics at the time, whether that be someone with AIDS or a transgendered person, so I'm sure they don't screen their cast for STDs. Secondly, anyone who would bone anyone in The Real World house has to be the kind of idiot who would follow up with a lawsuit when they discovered it was impossible to urinate without a burning sensation. The new clause reads as follows:

"IF I CHOOSE TO ENGAGE IN CONSENSUAL SEXUAL BEHAVIOR OR INTIMATE CONTACT WITH ANY SUCH PERSON I DO SO VOLUNTARILY AND KNOWINGLY AND I ASSUME THE RISK THAT BY ENGAGING IN SUCH ACTIVITY I MAY CONTRACT CERTAIN SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASES. PRODUCER MAKES NO WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION THAT ANY SUCH PERSON IS STD FREE."

Well, there ya go. The entire contract, which can be read below, is an interesting and for the most part is the standard for reality TV waivers. Now I wonder if this whole STD thing is just a precautionary measure or if there's actually someone with an explosive case of the herp in the DC house...
