I must be on to something here. The British Medical Association has come out against the use of discount coupons to fund cheap cosmetic deals. The dignity of the medical profession seems at risk here rather as the dignity of the patient was at risk with the concept of selling access to well know surgeon's operating sessions. In that case it was to raise money for research.
Will we soon have reality shows where contestants fight to win the cancer operation of their choice? We already have Bridalplasty.
If we continue this concept to its logical conclusion we could extend it to the legal profession (a profession not well known for discounting) as criminals compete to win the prize of representation by the celebrity barrister. Can you imagine the episodes as competitors work their way through challenges like "who can rip the little old lady quickest" or who is best at the "long con", "the short con", "the internet scam"? Surely TV should pick up this idea- a reality program that is self funding as the competitors are sure to bring in money. There would be really interesting stories too; much more interesting than Survivor, Masterchef or the Great Race. Can't miss tonight's show as Gerry plans the heist down at the local RSL!
