Reality TV meets the Boerewors Curtain

Constipation is a serious matter!

According to News24, that Souff Efrikan stalwart Huisgenoot, is launching a reality TV series in which people will compete to win a job with the magazine for a year.

Huisegenoot are apparently looking for someone "who will be able to get involved with all aspects of the magazine". Read: we're looking for a lackey to work their arse off for us & do all the crappy jobs that no one else feels like doing.

Ask anyone who's worked at a magazine publisher before & they'll tell you that it's not all roses. In fact, it's more like dead, shredded roses with giant thorns that you're constantly pricking yourself on.

No doubt the series will be hugely popular with people across the country who live in the middle of nowhere (read: dorpies) & are stuck with DSTV as their only source of entertainment. These are the same people whose idea of literature is reading the 'romance' short stories in Huisegenoot, or the DSTV schedule guide.

In other words; I doubt there'll be many English viewers...

There will, however, be plenty of doe-eyed young dorpie girls entering, because it's been their life-long dream to be on TV & work at a fashion magazine. And they'll classify Huisgenoot as a fashion mag because they've seen some Mr Price items they've bought, featured in the mag. They'll also be the ones who get all their friends to 'like' their Facebook 'modelling' photos, in the hope that a renowned modelling agency or photographer will notice them & fly them over to Paris.

Now if I was a doe-eyed dorpie girl, I'd be very afraid of the judges. In fact, every potential competitor should be afraid; only 1 of them is smiling & looks friendly. The other two look constipated & disinterested. 

No good can come of this!
