Now THIS gives me the creeps... How 'bout YOU?

Greetings ~

My name is Julia Jenkins and I am a casting producer for ABC families hit reality show 'Wife Swap.'

We are currently casting for our third season and I am looking for families that practice witchcraft. We cast everywhere from Maine to California, and this would bring a great dynamic to the show.

If you are unfamiliar with the show, Wife Swap is a fascinating story of what happens when two married couples see themselves and their spouses in a whole new light. Time Magazine calls Wife Swap "a riveting examination of family values." The New York Post says, "It should be called 'Life Swap' because it's not just the wives who learn something here. It's the families."

The premise of Wife Swap is simple: for six days, two wives from two different families with very different values exchange husbands, children and lives (but not bedrooms) to discover what it's like to live a different woman's life.

Here at 'Wife Swap' we look for a two-parent home with at least one child between the ages of 6 and 17 living at home fulltime.

We are currently casting for our third season, so don't miss out on this amazing experience! Families that appear on the show receive $20,000 as a thank you. And if you refer a family that appears on the show you would receive $1000.

If you have a family and you are interested in applying for the show, or if you know of any great families that you would like to refer, please EMAIL: julia.jenkins@rdfusa.com. Please provide details in your email!!

Thanks! I look forward to hearing from you!

Why not 'child swap' or 'husband swap?'

watching the show

but i understand the "sex sells" draw that would pull people into watching. (at least it's not real wife-swapping regarding sex. can you imagine a network PAYING for that? sounds illegal!)

MYOB :)

a swap between 2 male couples or two female couples or even more interesting you could swap a gay male couple with a lesbian couple. Think America is ready for that? Hehe!



could be a :toast: or perhaps a :spank:

This was one of the responses on the pagan list it was posted to...

"Some friends of my father-in-law were on this show (they were the pirate family in Oregon) and even though they are clean, tidy people they made it look like they were living in filth, with fleas all over the place. They said one of the first things the filming crew told them to do was "trash the place." And the father really did work a regular job, but they made it seem like he refused to work and just took whatever money came his way. So just be aware that by agreeing to this, you have to agree to be whatever they want you to be. The real you is not what will be portrayed, and chances are that they will make you look like a filthy flake."

:rofl:

...and ordinary people are held up for mockery. I don't understand why anyone would subject themselves to this. brr Unless they really needed that $20K pretty badly.

...It's just too creepy and invasive.

But -- if I had not only been poor but also had a stack of medical bills, that might have made the money tempting.

Still.

What the fuck is this about?

What a bunch of crap.

Don't we all just play our guitars and let this shit run around in our respective bars?

What is this crap all about?

Are we all just tethered to the teevee?

Or a great big mouthful of 'much obliged'?

This is about a specific TV show targeting a specific community for god knows what reason. That's worthy of mention, if you ask me.

I'm not sure what set you off...

That religious-nut-evangelical-Jesus-freak-screaming-tantrum lady stood out as a shining example of why I don't go to church, and distrust people that are lit from within by Jesus' love.

You know, this Jesus...


Or maybe it wasn't Christ's love lighting them up, but the muzzle flash of Jesus' M-16?
