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.
