What the...?

A cat reality show? You have got to be freakin' kidding me, man.

Yes, cheap, plentiful, and pathetic as it is, reality television has hit yet another new low. Watch the "contestants" of the Meow Mix House as they vie for the coveted top prize of a year's worth of Meow Mix cat food and the esteemed title of "VP of Research and Development for Meow Mix". However, instead of being voted off, patted on the butt, and told to go off and try to prosper in this cold, hard world, they are, in a much more poltically correct move, adopted by loving families. Loving families who get a year's worth of Meow Mix gratis. Have you ever priced out that stuff? It ain't cheap.

You watch, after a year, when the free grub train rolls out of the station, most of these cats will be out on their furry little butts, doomed to scrounge for scraps in alleyways and garbage cans.

I wonder if the winning cat will get a six-figure income and an executive parking spot to go with that title. Or is that handed to the person who "adopts" the cat at the end of the show...? If so, sign me up. Hell, I've got three of the damn furballs lying about Casa del Armenia now anyway. It would be nice to have one earning his keep.
