Siren Song

Here's a second email I received about the TV show Wife Swap. It's nice to be wanted, but no thanks:

"I came across your site while doing some research for our show. We absolutely LOVE the idea of a stay-at-home Dad/Career Mom for our show! I see from reading your site that you have very strong opinions, which is definitely ideal. We would never exploit your lifestyle, like some of the other shows out there right now. I would love to speak to you in further about your lifestyle and your family. We do pay families alot of $$$$ for participating in our show. Please give me a call or email me if you are interested. If not, maybe you might know of someone who is. We do pay a referral fee, as well. Thanks so much and i look forward to hearing from you!"

- Lori Malkin, Associate Casting Producer for ABC's Wife Swap

Everytime I've seen the show, that's all they do.

Phil,

You can refer them to me, I'll slap on a hat and dress up some flour bags and pretend to be a stay at home dad for "a lot of $$$$" =)

She sent the same email, verbatim, to me as well. Guess she didn't get many takers the first time around.

That's interesting Phil.

I like how she pretty much dumbed down her e-mail so try and grasp you with the "a lot of $$$$."

That's sad to me.

Couldn't they have said how much it was, or actually written "money" or "dollars" or "yen" or "black market kidneys?"

Phil, they probably would love to produce a show in beautiful Coeur d'Alene rather than Butcher Hollow. :)
