Reality TV

Another first here at Scuttlebutt World Headquarter. Yesterday we received an email from a television casting agency asking for help in getting the word out about a show they were working on. Since we offer ad space in Scuttlebutt, we thought about charging them a fee for the service. However, we were so taken by the request, and the respect we had earned as a credible source to help them, that we decided to help them out at no cost (look for item in Issue 2141). Heck, we would be thrilled if one of the Scuttlebutt readers got chosen for the show. We always hope the content in the newsletter is of value, even when an item might be a bit out of the ordinary. Here was the email:
