Wow – where will it end?

Television producers understand the kind of men whose personal lives we’d like to peek into – think Hulk Hogan and Snoop Dogg — and they’ve nailed it with their latest pick, MICHAEL VICK. The new Philadelphia Eagles player and former dogfight ringmaster has signed up for a new BET reality show, tentatively called The Michael Vick Project.

According to the LA Times, the show will see quarterback fresh out of his 18-month stay in prison, joining up with the Eagles and coming to terms with his troubled past. Vick said, “I just want people to really get to know me as an individual. What I want to do is change the perception of me. I am a human being. I’ve made some mistakes in the past, and I wish it had never happened. But it’s not about how you fall, but about how you pick yourself up.”

One group that isn’t pleased about Vick’s return to the spotlight is PETA. A spokesman for the animal rights activists said, “People who abuse animals don’t deserve to be rewarded. They shouldn’t be given multimillion-dollar contracts… or given the privilege of being a role model. We don’t believe Michael Vick understands the seriousness of his crime. I think he’s sorry he got caught, but only time will tell if he’s truly remorseful.”

The shows producers have emphasized that the program will be a “docu-series” and not a reality show. Cue the serious tone.
