David, I'm going to be honest with you: you're short.

We have a new member to the pantheon of quality programming brought to us by the fox broadcasting company. That's right, the channel that has given us life changing television events such as Man vs. Beast (in which analyst Carl Lewis listed "must realize it's a race" as the key to victory for the zebra and olympic gold medalist sprinter Shawn Crawford actually claimed the zebra false started after he lost said race), Celebrity Daredevils (which brought us the classic moment when Dennis Rodman was nearly killed as he swung violently into the side of a cliff), and The Littlest Groom (a bachelor style show for midgets, during which the "groom" was made to choose from a pool of dwarfed and regularly sized females) may have outdone itself with its latest offering...My Big Fat Obnoxious Boss.

Anyone who knows me knows my disdain for the "profession" of business executive, and in an incredibly humourous fashion this show has exposed these lowlifes as the fake, arrogant brown nosers that they truly are...and this was accomplished within the first 10 minutes! Everything else is just icing on the cake. I truly loved the moment when "expensive" champagne and hors d'oeuvres were served...which were actually cheap bottles of bubbly from the local convenience market and treats made with oscar meyer bologna, cheez wiz, and yes, even spam. All of the business savvy contestants were raving about the quality (one went as far to say the champagne definitely tasted expensive and another couldnt believe the taste of luxury he had just experienced...ah the mighty power of sucking up)

So here are my questions:

1. Every business major I ever knew (or at least the somewhat competent ones) were obsessed with money and the people who have more of it than they do. They knew the Fortune 500 companies and they knew the billionaire CEOs. So how is it that these successful business people could possibly believe that there is a multibillion dollar corporation that none of them have ever heard of? According to Forbes, there are only 313 billionaires in America, surely this guy didnt go unnoticed for all these years, did he?


2. How funny is it to see a guy who thinks he was fired because he wore a "too expensive suit"? How sad is it that he remarks as the show goes off of the air, that if he knew that the boss had such a problem with custom suits that he would have dressed down a bit? I hate to sound like Holden Caulfield but, can anyone possibly be more phony?

3. And finally, why would anyone ever trust a FOX reality show again?

I can answer that one: because people are idiots
