After watching endless reality shows such as The Swan and Extreme Makeover where the elite shower the unwashed masses with a few crumbs in an act of gratuitous giving, I have come to the conclusion that it's time to turn the tables.
The Concept.
Take a multi-millionare and deposit them in a single wide trailer in Middle America and have them pull themselves up by the bootstraps while working at a local fast food restaurant for $6.00 an hour.
The show will be taped in the manner of Big Brother and other similar shows.
The Rules.
All necessities will be provided, a single wide trailer with no screens, a food stamp card, a month's rent, 2 pairs of jeans and 3 t-shirts, a 1983 Buick with 2 bald tires, a ticket for a free Happy Meal, and a carton of Marlboros.
No contact with anyone from former life for one year.
No access to assets of any kind from former life for one year.
Winners will be awarded a new dose of previously unknown humility and sense of humanity.
Losers, well they get to stay in an endless cycle of poverty and degradation.
Vote for your favorite millionare republican for the first round of contestants.
