First World Anxiety

First World Anxiety: Those fridges that beep if you leave the door open too long.

It’s like the writers for Mission Impossible called up the people responsible for that show My 600 Pound Life and said “Hey man, you busy? No? Cool, wanna invent a product?”

“You have ten seconds to locate the waffles and connect them to the toaster, your waistline will explode in 5 seconds…..”

And I think it really speaks to the lack of talent in this country that the only requirements to get your own show are:

1.       Be insanely large

2.       Have an insanely large family

I’d be willing to bet that those ant colony sized family shows are heavily scripted because if they were at all based on what really happens on a daily basis it would just be some irritable kid angrily glaring in to the fridge then leaning back and shouting “WE NEED MILK!”
