|
Foreclosure-one could say that is an extreme make over for the individual anyway.
A contestant or recipient of a new house via the TV show Extreme Makeover and volunteers is in foreclosure.This recipient took out a $450K mortgage for a loan for a businesss.Somebody should've told them-free house but NOT a free mortgage. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080729/ap_on_en_tv/tv_extreme_makeover_foreclosure |

You'd think that people like them would be grateful as hell for the house and the help. Guess not. I saw the same thing when we were overrun by hurricanes Katrina and Rita a couple of years back. Everyone that came here rude, disgusting, and had no respect for anything or anyone. Most were not grateful for a roof over their heads and food on the table, courtesy of the US taxpayers.

The volunteers got suckered in more ways than one.Not only did they give there time to a cause or project they thought was helping someone they also indirectly helped a business(ABC TV) make money.
Without the 'emotion' of the large groups of people helping out Extreme Makeover would be just another do-it-yourself fix it show. So the volunteers are the ones that really got screwed.They waisted their time and lost money by not asking for THEIR piece of the action. |
