It can be a struggle to get through the second half of the day.
Back in March I told you about an opportunity to earn big bucks watching movies on St. Patrick’s day. But who had the time then? Most people were still going to the office, or chasing down toilet paper. Here’s your second chance. But like everything these days, it’s a darker, grimmer prospect. Magellan TV is offering $1000 to the candidate willing to sit through 24 straight hours of true crime. I like a good Dateline episode now and then.
But some of these titles are stomach turning – Tortured to Death:Murdering the Nanny, Columbine Massacre: In the Killer’s Mind, and Last Confessions of the Cannibal. As well as 13 other gruesome shows to view and document on social media. I’m going to have to find another, less unpleasant way to pick up some extra cash. But if you’re made of sterner stuff than me applications are being accepted until May 4.
I sit on my ass watching 24 hours of tv for free!
Here’s a good thread of baking fails on Twitter:
I could watch 24 hours of Schitt’s Creek or The Good Place but not this stuff. I have a feeling they’re counting on nobody making it all the way through. They still get the social media presence without having to pay out.
The baking fails thread looks great. I’ll definitely check it out.
Right! I watched the whole last season of Schitt’s Creek in two nights. Which on second thought was a bad idea because that was two nights of me crying my eyes out at least once!! It’s soooo good. Perfect ending to a perfect show.
The baking fails made me laugh and feel better about myself!
Ya, some of those were really bad. Like I’ve never turned an oven on before bad.
Not ripe enough.
Apparently her spouse was not invited to the consortium of non-banana-eating husbands. #fail
Oof, gonna pass on that one.
Yup, true crime is one thing but this stuff seems pretty exploitative.
$1,000 wouldn’t be enough for me to sit through one hour of Dateline.
My daughter and I used to hate watch the Keith Morrison episodes. He’s so annoying!
I remember when all those shows, including 20/20 and 48 Hours, used to be actual investigative journalism. Now, they’re just sensationalist, true-crime pablum. Barely a 1/2 step up from shows like the Bachelor or Big Brother.
Not ripe enough.
