My Ridiculous and Completely Wrong Theory On 'Lost'

There's two things that everyone knows about Lost.
1. It takes place on an island where crazy shit happens.
2. Everyone that watches the show has a theory on what the island is and what it all means.
For the most part, the true nature of the island and what the show is all about has been revealed. There's still a few minor questions, but those just might remain unanswered.
At this point, the majority of Lost fans have seen their theories fall to pieces.
My own theory was shattered with the very first episode of season 2. After that, I vowed never to construct a theory again and to just let the show take me where it will.
Now, days before the series finale, I shall reveal my highly laughable and mildly retarded theory of Lost.
I started watching Lost a few episodes in during the show's first season. I don't really watch that many television series and a show about castaways on an island that didn't involve Gilligan or Wilson the volleyball wasn't that appealing.
I finally caved in due to a combination of boredom and curiosity.
I wasn't that interested in the mysteries or the unseen monster in the forest. Instead, I became hooked on the characters. This was a show with science fiction elements that focused on the characters first rather than the fantastic things around them.
ANYWAY, my theory was this:
The island was a movie set.
WTF, Right?
I have a degree that says I am smart, but sometimes I can be pretty ridiculous.
But I was convinced that this was the one, true answer to the show.
I thought that the castaways were people that were drugged on the plane and deposited onto the island for a Survivor-type reality show. Kind of like the Truman Show.
The evidence that supported this theory is, as follows:
30 or more people survived a plane crash. That just doesn't happen. If your plane crashes, you are more than likely dead. Hence the idea that they were thrown onto the beach alongside plane wreckage.
An unseen monster was in the forest. Something to provoke fear in the people and create drama for the reality show viewers.
There were whispers in the jungle. I thought it was camera men communicating with each other on headsets.
John Locke uncovered a sealed hatch. I thought that inside the hatch was master control. The heart of the operation filled with directors and producers and tv monitors.
Obviously, my theory was shot to shit when the hatch was opened and Desmond was inside. Also, watching the episodes I had missed during rerun season that summer, I realized some of my other ideas didn't hold any weight.
The idea that the monster didn't exist, for example, was destroyed based on the fact that Locke had actual seen it.
But, there it is. My theory. Laugh away. At least I tried to create an original idea rather than be a sheep and say, "They're in Hell / Purgotory"

What's interesting is that this exact theory was debated all over www.thefuselage.com when I was on there.
