Sometimes, when I am not working or not booking as much as I would like, I scan craigslist to see if there is anything that I would be interested in doing or maybe submitting my portfolio for some of the (few) paying and (loads) non-paying gigs. I ran across this post in the TV, Film Section. Please note all words in red are my personal edits and red flags.

Now why did they get the "you tried it" you ask? Well while this maybe a great opportunity, What reality show is so great that you have to pay for your own accommodation and airfare to participate? Thats like Tyra asking Chicks who participate in America's Next Top Model for Rent... Really?!
What will be the unforgettable prize? Being reimbursed for participating?
I don't get it. If you do...please comment and explain...
If you want the actual email because you are down with this foolishness. I will send it to you...(no judgments) However This Craigslist ad gets a "You TRIIIIIIIED IT!"
