Indentured Servant 2

(This is a serialized story, please read yesterday’s story for the 1st installment of this article):

So, we have a man who has bad hair and has bankrupted at least one company (DonAl Trump) doing one of the Indentured Servant shows. Then we have a convicted criminal (Marta Stew Art) doing another. Which means that we should all be rushing to get a job with these two successes! (In what universe?) Okay, I admit it. I’d take a job. First, I want to know how to bankrupt a company without losing any of my own money and second I want to know how to get access to insider trading, get caught, then make orange the next black. I want that power.

The power of fame means these two get to have fame, fortune and people willing to ask, “How far up do you want my head.” Plus they get their own TV show.

Let’s review the show. For immediacy sake, let’s take Marta Stew Art’s version of the Indentured Servant.

It opens with a review of what has happened in previous weeks. This includes sniping by contestants, successes, failures, intrigue, and a recap of all the backstabbing (and that’s just between Marta and her employees) It’s as riveting as All My Children. The burning questions: Who will NOT be nominated for an Emmy Award this year? DonAl or Marta? Will DonAl’s real parents Alfalfa and Bozo ever be outed? And who picked the song Sweet Dreams for Marta’s version of the Indentured Servant?

Granted, this song is great, but how does it apply to Marta Stew Art? Has anyone EVER dreamed of Martha Stew Art without it being a nightmare? It sure wasn’t her ex-husband!

After Marta prances about the screen smiling (we can only imagine she’s smiling at her prison girlfriends), we hear her say: “Your assignment, if you chose to accept it is …” Of course, none of the contestants can actually choose. They must accept the assignment or they will “disintegrate in thirty-seconds.” Within one hour, one actually does disintegrate from the show (because as we know, these contestants are fired--never to be heard from again—if only!).

However, before this happens, the show seems to go on and on and on and on (like that annoying bunny) for an entire week. It’s really only one hour, but it feels like a week. Finally, some team wins and some team loses. One person gets fired. Which makes no sense, because if a team failed in real life, wouldn't they all get fired? However, this isn’t real life. It’s “realty TV” where deserted survivors on an island can win food and two failures can get their own TV show.
