Black Is White, Up Is Down

I’m pretty sure Eddie Murphy did this already back on Saturday Night Live:

A black family learns what it’s like to be white while a white family becomes black in the six-part documentary series “Black.White,” scheduled for broadcast on the FX cable network in March.

Makeup temporarily transforms the two families for the series developed by filmmaker R.J. Cutler and actor-rapper Ice Cube.

It seems like there are few ideas so outlandish that a television producer will not attempt them.
