By now most of you should be re-entering society after finally subduing the boundless depression induced by news of the 'Celebrity' rehab show I mentioned last week. Well, it just got worse...
A company called Morusa Media is currently pitching the Networks an idea that has to be the most desperate, insulting and patronizing concept ever conceived in the entire genre of Reality - And that's some tough competition!
They're trying to find a Network feeble-minded enough to bankroll a reality-based game show called, "Who Wants to Marry a U.S. Citizen?" The goal of this nauseating spectacle is to create televised matrimony between U.S. Citizens and Immigrants who are here on temporary visas. An unattached U.S. Citizen will ask contestants various questions. At the end of the show he or she must choose a potential mate. The Producers don't guarantee marriage but they've already found enough people mindless or clueless enough to enable them to shoot the first season. Not surprisingly, most are Hispanics. Another is from the Philippines.
The show's intended host, Angelo Gonzales, told reporters, "There are thousands of U.S. Citizens seeking a Spouse, and just as many immigrants seeking the same. So we want to make it a win-win situation for all involved."
I have been fighting the Immigration process since 1997; I have filled out all the forms, paid the exorbitant fees, waited untold hours in endless lines and bleak, freezing offices and encountered an endless litany of officious egocentrics who have taken enormous personal delight in elevating the art of patronizing to an Olympian sport. Not once in all that time have I even contemplated the transgression of a single one of their interminable rules...And now this!
Anyone applying as a Contestant should be deported. And anyone on whom was bestowed the enviable nomenclature of 'U.S. Citizen' at birth who then exhibits the breathtaking contempt for that gift that would be implicit in their pursuit of even the vaguest involvement in this repugnant charade should have that precious cadeau and its implicit rights revoked, and be forced to undergo the same torturous process to retrieve it that I and countless others seeking to make this wondrous nation our home are forced to endure.
My disdain for this show, its concept and those dumb enough to conceive, appear in and broadcast it is literally boundless, and I urge all of you so blessed as to be Citizens yourselves to contact Morusa Media and protest this egregious insult to your country and your lineage, and their stupidity for ever conceiving it.
