Work From Home Couple

I’m thinking of smashing my TV. I accidentally (yeah, I know, I could have changed the channel, but …) watched an episode of VH1’s “Real Chance of Love.” After washing my eyes out with acid, I still can’t get the images out of my mind.

If you’re not familiar with this show, well, you’re lucky. It concerns two brothers, Chance and Real, who are looking for, yes, love. And they’re doing it by inviting several idiot women to their home to “try out” to become their real-life girlfriends. Or at least I think thats what was supposed to be happening.

I had trouble getting past the two “stars,” Chance and Real. For one thing, the two mush-mouthed brothers can barely string three sentences together. For another, they gave nicknames to all the female competitors, names like Cornfed and Lusty and Meatball. Yes, Meatball. Is Meatball Italian? That was my first question. Sadly, I did get an answer to this question from the show itself.

I’m always amazed at the absolute crap that VH1 puts on the air. But this show was something else completely. I’d declare any woman on the show the winner if she would shoot just one of the brothers. If she managed to shoot both? I’d declare her the winner of the next edition of “Survivor,” too.

Now, this blog post may not seem to have a lot to do with working at home. But because I do work from home, I’ll often sneak a peek at afternoon TV when I need a break. And that is where I fell into the “Real Chance of Love” trap. I’m thinking of swallowing the batteries of my remote control so that this never happens again.
