Today is: Disillusionment Day

WTF? is probably what you're thinking. Right?

Well, I am completely blown away by the fact that my theory was correct about television. Even though I am somewhat surprised that Stan "The Man" would be involved. It's like finding out your favorite superhero is practically a super-villain.

And therein lies my problem and my sorrow. I made the mistake of looking up "Who Wants To Be A Superhero" on IMDb and found out what I was hoping wouldn't be true: the majority of those picked for the show and made it through to the final episodes already had been established in television or movie roles before being chosen for the show.

Coincidence, sure. What's EVIAN spelled backwards, again?

You would think that most people would have a fair shot at the shows nowadays, but not really. Except for Iron Enforcer, and Fat Momma, pretty much anyone who made it through were already somewhat pros and pretty much knew exactly what producers wanted to see, and therefore had what I consider an unfair advantage.

Kind of ironic, considering Stan booted one contestant off in the beginning for wanting to be on the show to promote his own action figure, while the rest get to stay on and promote their own acting careers, don't you think?

There are NO SUPERHEROES to believe in anymore!

Deep Thought of the Day: Superman, where are you now? When everything's gone wrong somehow?
