'Mat, Come on down! You're the next..."

I proposed to Mike this morning, and he concurred, that we should pitch a new reality show to the networks. It would be an anti-Apprentice style show where 10 people are picked and given jobs at Tyler Gifts. Every week, someone is kicked off, and you hear post-interviews like:

"Thank God! When I failed to do anything productive last week, I was sure they were going to keep me. I just want to say hi to all my friends and family, thank them for their support, and let them know that this experience has changed my life. I'm giving up my reckless lifestyle and going straight from here on out. I never want to be caught in a place like that again!"

Week after week, the useful people are berated and the most useful is fired. The person left standing at the end is punished for his absolute uselessness by being given a lifetime appointment to a mid-level position in the company.

The only catch is, it wouldn't really be lifetime since this place will fold within 3 years. But I bet the "winner" will walk out of here on his knees on the day this place locks the doors, praising God and promising to be a better person for having been given a second chance at life.
