Hmmmm, I received this in my email today from a TV producer looking for people willing to go on their show and talk about their shopping addiction. Here is what they sent:
True Life: I’m Addicted to Shopping
Are you a shopaholic? Is your closet packed with never-worn clothing, the price tags still in tact? Do you always have to run out and get the latest thing featured in fashion magazines? Do you shop or spend money as a result of feeling angry, depressed, anxious, or lonely? Do you have arguments with others about your shopping habits? Are you maxing out your credit cards and drowning in bills? Are your friends and family concerned about your shopping addiction? How in debt are you?
If you can't control the urge to shop, even at the expense of your job, your relationships or your finances, MTV and Gigantic! Productions want to hear about it.
If you appear to be between the ages of 16-25, and would like to share your story, please email us at casting@gigantic.tv and be sure to include your name, location, phone number and a photo.
MTV's True Life is a long-running, award-winning documentary series in which young people share their stories in their own words.
Gigantic! Productions, a New York City-based production company, has been producing hard-hitting, award-winning documentary programming for and about young people since 2001.
Somehow, I don't think that going on a TV reality show would be the best move to try and overcome a shopping addiction, but I have no doubt that there will be people who apply.
Actually, I think it would be an excellent show if it were about someone struggling with the shopping addiction and the steps being taken to overcome the problem, but I have my doubts that is how it will be played. I'm in Japan and haven't seen MTV in a long while, but if it hasn't changed since I did see it several years ago, that's not exactly what is going to be portrayed...
