Has it Really Come to This?

Tonight on CBS we will see the debut of a new reality TV series called "The Job".  According to the promos, five contestants will be interviewed and the winner will receive a job.  That's right, our economy is now so bad that we actually have a TV show where the winner gains employment.

It got me to thinking.  What will be next?  Logically, we will soon see a show called "Dinner" where contestants are grilled about why they need to eat.  The winner will get a fancy dinner.  After that, the next logical step will likely be a show called "The Ride".  In this one, five contestants will be questioned about why they need to go to a particular local destination.  The one with the reason judged most compelling will be given a ride to that location after the show.  The losers will be on their own.  The possibilities for these shows are endless.  Just imagine these shows:  "Shoes!" and its spin off "Socks".  There could also be "Indoor Plumbing" followed by "Heat".  The Playboy Channel could televise "Underwear".

It is truly disgusting that our society has reached such a nadir that having a job is to be considered a major prize for a reality show.
