Calling all weirdos! TLC wants you to sell your soul to them!

It's the calling cast for that show that has idiots selling themselves out by parading a hobby/pica as an ADDICTION. My Strange addiction. This is the casting call, taken from the official website. (Commentary and submission by yours truly)

Are you hooked on your hobby? (Isn't it SUPPOSED to be addictive to be a hobby?) Is your compulsive behavior on the verge of becoming an addiction? (They just don't get psychology 101, do they?)

A major cable network (Lemme guess, MTV? Or TLC?) is looking for people who can`t(That error bugs me. Must be the grammar teacher in me.) stop playing video games, working out, waxing (Their surfboard? Their legs? Their Great Aunt Gertrude's back?), tattooing (Wouldn't they run out of canvasses after 10 years? I mean, unless they have bought tons of bodies on Ebay...), eating strange foods (Does plastic and metal count as a strange food?), redecorating their house (Does just saying "Forget it, I'm going to crash." and leaving it be count as "Redecorating"?)– you name it. The more unique, the better (For ratings).

Each half-hour episode will profile two individuals (Mostly idiots stupid enough to sell themselves out.) who are engaged in uncontrollable behaviors affecting their lives (In fact, they pull the "DOING THIS WILL GIVE YOU CANCER!" card almost every episode.) and those they love (Bah! Who needs society anyways? Always focusing on awful music, filled with idiots who think that cursing makes them awesome, and other junk. So, I'll just stay in here, where I facepalm on every instance of "math" on this show.). This non-exploitative  (BWAHAHAHA! I also have a bridge to sell you, real cheap.) program will share compelling personal stories (In other words, we'll modify it to make more ratings.) and may (Emphasis on MAY) provide medical and psychological perspectives on why patients struggle (Yeah, like having fun doing what they like is STRUGGLING.) with these issues.

To be considered (A social outcast for the rest of your stinkin life), or for more information about this (Very stupid and exploitative) production, please send your name, age, city, current photo, and a short description of your behavior and it`s (There's the lousy mistake again. What's with grammar today?)impact on your life to: (Link removed to avoid idiots from applying) (Spam this website with joke entries. Make sure you have a throw-away account.)

Let's see... Chewing on random junk on the table, and occasionally eating TP. Unused, I swear! (And they wonder WHY these warning labels don't work...) The only "Addiction" people know of is Pica, and Rock collecting. There was this idiot who thought that doing stupid stunts to get rocks was a good idea.

Name:Mooble
Age:13
City: Under a rock, interstate 91
Photo:*Insert something from a cartoon*
Behavior: I snark, I point out grammar/spelling errors, and some more junk. It makes my sister annoyed, and make a mistake with the word "addiction". You know, what you just did with the title. So, take this show off the air. This was supposed to be The LEARNING Channel, right? What's educational about gawking at un-social weirdos? I also have Pica. I'm not going to sell my soul to you guys. Sorry, but I'll EARN my 15 minutes of fame the old fashioned way,  becoming a best-seller.

If you want to get "I want attention! I have a medical condition! GIMME MONEY!" with it, then yes. I think I just nailed the show straight down the middle of the head. Pica pica, pica pica, pica pica! Joooohnny! I don't usually get into shows. If it's REALLY good (Or really bad, bad enough to make me spout nonsense in an angry tone.) then I watch it. That's why I watch The Dark Crystal and "Plan 9 from outer space" back to back sometimes.
