Under Cover Boss.

Why does this show make me want to choke slam the featured CEOs? Far be it from me to discourage them from doing good but it just rings a bit off to me. My souls screams for them to take their sanctimonious, guilt assuaging, condescending and breadcrumb distributing gestures and shove them up their asses. Good workers facing hard times are not the exception. They are the rule.
And you,Under Cover Boss, may fuck off.

that you stop watching it. Choke slamming is not good for anyone.

... with cameras and microphones,
after this show has been on for years,
and no one suspects anything?

Same thing for the TV show "Mystery Diners".

I do not believe for a moment that these types of programs are real. The idea that they promulgate (that some rich guy will swoop in and rescue you) is to me perniciously destructive. Are we all just serfs waiting for the freaking lord of the manor to reconcile our lives?

Shark tank has the same vibe. Psychopaths buying loyalty and ideas on the cheap. Disgusting to think that we are led to believe that we can only achieve happiness with the help of some wealthy out of touch asshole.
