Reality Bytes Disclaimer

The Reality Bytes story was written a few years ago as a satire of the preponderance of reality shows on television. At the time, episode one was distributed to about 120 people, approximately 25% of whom actually voted for a favorite. It was based on their results and comments that I came up with the final ending. Nonetheless, all this fluff and nonsense did spurt from my mind, so I want to make it clear that this is a satire of the television industry and not of people's religious beliefs. It occurred to me then that in a world where so many shows seem designed to expose the human frailties of their participants, it would not be that unusual to exploit them even further in examples such as these.
