where’s my reality show?

March 1, 2007 · Leave a Comment

Sports franchise David Beckham and his lovely wife, Victoria (a.ka. Posh Spice), are moving to the US, and they get a reality show covering the move.

Personally, I think our last relocation experience would have made more gripping TV.

After all, Beckham’s $27.5 million soccer deal pretty much guarantees he won’t be personally loading up the U-Haul and repacking it three or four times to optimize usage and minimize the number of trips.

I’m pretty sure there won’t be any arguments about whether to bring that old monstrosity of an entertainment center (that he’s had since way before the marriage) or just get a new one.

Unless the tabloids have missed something, I doubt this move was prompted by the realization that the old place was going to be waaaaay too small in just a few months.

Yep, we would’ve made better TV.

But then, there’s absolutely no chance we would have had a Spice Girls reunion while packing the truck.
