Casting Call

Hmmm....soar spelled wrong and the part about whoever finds this dopey family gets $1,000.....now why is that missing? It's over anyway, this familly is going to do a second show.

As you'll note they made that family look so good they are coming back for a repeat.

Matt Steele comes to mind.

Ya I mis-typed one word, guess you've never done that? And as I got the message just yesterday, I figure they are still looking, as I asked the man a question and he replied right away. As for the finder fee, I didn't think that needed to be in it as that was offered to the finder and it was in personal mail. This is the 2nd TV show I've kind of helped on but I don't make a big deal over it, I just do my little part. I figure 20 grand should make someone happy. And the casting call is ACTIVE.

If he'd contact me I'd be happy to pass on his info.

Almost every Prefect in Tripoly got the same email you got. I hope no one is stupid enough to answer the call. Just what rocketry as a hobby needs, idiotic portrayals of those few idiots we have, in a staged reality show, (reality said with tongue in cheek and a wink). Only an idiot or sub moron would respond to the creators of this s%*t.

They seem to think the rocketry community is so unintelligent we would offer up someone to feed into his dopey agenda for ratings? How stupid do we look?

I have a feeling we're about to find out.

....and here's the full text so they can find that 'special' someone.

Greetings Special Person,

We need someone to make a mess of their show......8 days worth of shooting down the toilet, now who could do that? Hmmmmmm.

If you come to a MDRA launch this summer, ask me.. (:-)

Fred

Will do.

I personally know one family that was on the show. I would say that the representation of the family was NOT based on reality in any way, shape or form (just as those who've talked about scripting on Junkyard Wars, etc., have mentioned).

OK, never mind Matt. How about Bruce!

Ooohhhh, you tease, you.
