HELP, I NEED SOMEBODY
As Phil Morgan writes about in today's Tribune, lots of hearty and ambitious souls
stood in line on Friday at the Tampa audition for the TV show "The Apprentice."
It fascinated me to no end that hundreds of people would stand in the freezing cold for five hours just for the chance they might be selected for nationally televised humiliation.
I also was entertained by their wardrobe choices.
The guy on the left came straight from UPN's "Donnie Brasco" cattle call.
Considering the conditions, it was remarkable how well behaved the group was.
Still, some clearly had advantages others lacked.
This woman was employing the Theory of Indifferent Acquisition through use of oversized eyewear.
This woman brought a Hank Hill lookalike, forgetting she was auditioning for NBC, not Fox.
And, when all else fails, a short skirt will work just fine.
In the end, all were reduced to cellphone bots who wandered the halls delivering electronic postmortems to friends and families.
