First Stephen Colbert, now The Office.

On a recent episode of the NBC comedy, boss Michael Scott (Steve Carell) went to Wikipedia for tips on how to fire one of his employees. So fans of the show have, naturally, gone to the site and started to edit the entry on negotiations like crazy. Because, as Michael put it (I'm paraphrasing here, don't remember the exact quote), "having a bunch of people edit a web site is best way to get accurate information."

At this point, I think I've become numb to the deluge of reality programing that still continues to hammer us. I liken it to being repeatedly shot at pointblank range. Eventually, it doesn't matter how many bullets have entered your body, because you've pretty much just accepted they're not going to stop and there's nothing you can do to stop it, anyway. Still, Unwrapping Macy's is allegedly different than other reality shows because it's the first one to make a corporate retailer the centerpiece of the show. The series, which kicks off on September 30 on the WE network for an initial eight-episode run, will offer a look into what it's like to work at the store. You'll see how they choose merchandise, put together their catalog, and force homeless people at knife point to inflate the Underdog balloon every Thanksgiving. My god, that sounds absolutely riveting.
