I watch Reality TV for many reasons.  First and most obvious, the reality.  Second, to keep up with my friends from the mythical island of White Trash, New Jersey.  Sort of like a Narnia, only you settle all your arguments by punching people in the face.

CEO:  I love my job and my family!

Then:

CEO's executive team:  You're going to do what?
