Be Martha Stewart's Slave!

Gothamist cannot stop laughing over this: Mark Burnett and Donald Trump have decided to create another version of the Apprentice - but with Martha Stewart. No joke, you can sign up to be a part of it here - casting call this Friday!

Gothamist hopes part of this Apprentice spin-off will take place at Martha's Bedford estate, while she's serving her house arrest. That would be the most awesome thing ever: "See who can do hospital corners with sheets!" "Who can pick the most eggs?" Empress Wu, one of Martha's Chow Chows, could be an advisor! And if you've got a background in picking stocks, you might have a leg up. Gothamist is unclear if the goal is to be a domestic doyenne or media mogul-turned-jailbird, but, whatever, 15 minutes of fame is worth it to some.

This site says open casting call is for today Feb 4 but leads to the Donald Trump App process only. Does any one know how to audition for this?

Reality television is all well and good, but what about Martha's long-standing entanglement with the ultimate Orwellian horror of our time -- CHAIN STORES!?!?!?!?

wait, how does one "pick" an egg? "pickle", perhaps? "gather"?

if I have to shove my hand up the wrong side of a chicken to actually pluck the egg, this turns into more "Fear Factor" than "Apprentice".

She named a Dog Empress Wu? okaaaaay...

(sigh)

This is exactly why I don't bother with so called "Reality TV".

If I'm going to be Martha Stewart's slave, does that mean she's going to show me what she learned in prison?

Glad to see she's held on to her dignity through her long ordeal.

So much for her not doing business while serving out her sentence. Or were the details of this worked out before she went to the can?

Ummm, what is this again, exactly? An arts and crafts job? Nationally televised? Potentially embarassing? And we have to be pretty?

Society has hit a new low.
