Apparently, the unemployed just need to be motivated by reality TV

[spinbaby]

During last night's Project Runway, there were constant ads for a new show called "Fairy Jobmother," in which a rather shrill young lady "motivates" the unemployed to get employed.

I find this show offensive in the way that it plays into the whole Republican narrative that the unemployed are just lazy and unmotivated.

1. I too find that offensive. Also that *Outsourced* show is offensive

Guess it's funny that Americans are out of work, only because they felt they required real wages?

2. K&R. I agree.

Blame the unemployed, not our unbalanced economy that favored outsourcing, privatization, tax cutting for the top 2% and ever-increasing quarterly profits above all else.

3. Offensive and creepy

like the unemployed are "different" somehow. I won't watch Outsourced; the whole premise is disgusting, trying to make these job exports funny somehow. Fail.
