I've been an avid reader ever since I first learned how to read when I was three years old (Mom sometimes tells embarrassing stories of how I would be reading, look up from my book and ask what hemorrhoids were, because I read it off the cover of the ladies' magazine she was reading), so I read a lot of news stories.
Yesterday, I found a news story online that seemed like a REAAALLLY bad idea...
The Fox network has a new reality show in production about office workers involved in a competition to save their jobs, with the "winner" of the show getting laid off. To me, this idea is in very poor taste, considering the current recession.
Who's actually going to watch this? Not me, I can guarantee you that! As someone who's been laid off in the past and has seen several good friends go through the sudden shock of being laid off, I simply can't imagine who ever thought that this was a good idea. Several people have already posted on online blogs, vowing to boycott the sponsors of this show when (and if) it ever goes on air.
Forget stupid criminals and people who drive their lawnmowers drunk to the convenience store, this is the dumbest idea I've heard this week. Sadly, I'm sure more bad ideas like this will pop up in the news....(sigh) more to come, I'm sure.
