This isn’t strictly MMO news however I thought it could of interest to MMO players; Wife Swap (in the US) is after a family of gamers to appear on an upcoming show. Whether this is a sign of gaming becoming even more mainstream, or Wife Swap targeting another niche group I’m not sure. Either way here is the blurb we were sent about it -

We have been looking for a fun, outgoing and dynamic family of GAMERS to
appear on an upcoming episode of our show! I came across your online
publication in my research, and I was hoping you might be willing to help me
spread the word about this casting call. Gaming is definitely a hobby that
has swept the US, and we’d love to find the ultimate gaming family to
represent that on our show. Nowadays, a lot of parents have a hard time
finding things that they can relate to with their kids – so it would be
really cool to feature a family where Mom, Dad and the Kids all have
something in common – their love of interactive games!

Our only requirements are that families consist of two parents and at least
one child between the ages of 6-17. Due to security restrictions, military
families cannot be featured at this time. Families who participate in the
show receive $20,000!

The program will be aired on ABC and produced by RDF USA. As this is an American show I’m afraid you & your family need to be US Residents, but if you’re interested drop me an email (andrewknight at mmo-gamer.com).
