It’s really become annoying to watch reality tv people receive things for free. Just started watching this week’s episode of Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood where Dean’s been given a bike by Specialized that he will use in an upcoming AIDS bike race. He can afford to buy his own bike but Specialized thinks that if people see Dean McDermott riding one of their bikes, others will buy them. People will, I know. And Dean may eventually auction off the bike for charity so truly needy people will benefit. But this week I cannot pay alot on my credit card bill because I have to pay an oil bill, so I’m really feeling like it would be nice if someone would give me something for free.
I also see the Gosselins (Jon & Kate Plus Eight) getting free hair transplants and tummy tucks and chalets in ski country. People see them on tv and think, wow, they have a lot going on so they offer these things to them. Granted they aren’t asking to get free stuff (like I am). Maybe it would be considered rude to not accept these things. And they do say that they are free and we do get to see their experience.
I don’t have a scintillating story that’s fit for reality tv. I don’t have a sad story that will get me on Extreme Makeover or Oprah. I’ve worked hard for everything I have. Yes, I have more things than others, but I’d still like a little special attention once in a while! Perhaps I should just watch less tv.
