The Secret Millionaire

Aug 19, 2008 23:16

There is this show on TV over here called The Secret Millionaire. A person who has a lot of money goes to one of the poorest parts of the country and acts as if they are poor, too. They stay for about a week and meet the people around them, hoping that they can find people who they can help with some of their money. It is amazing! At the end of the week they reveal to the people they have gotten to know that they are millionaires and then the rich people give the poor people money for good causes or just because they think they need it. It's really cool because usually the really rich people learn a lot about themselves and their situation in life, and a lot of them come out of it with less prejudice views about poor or disabled people. Anyway I basically cried through the whole show that was on just now! It's just so moving I guess to see someone learn to care about something they didn't even think about before. I'm not sure if it lets people from the states watch online but they play the episodes on channel4.com

Aside from that my car is still broken and had to be towed away again today, hopefully they actually fix it this time instead of telling me to put coolant in it again! lol I guess the coolant was a problem before but it was just ONE of the problems, not the worst one!

I'm tired from sobbing for the past 30 minutes or so! lol

* edit * I just looked the show up online, I guess they are going to start playing a US version on Fox! That's cool cause I was just thinking that they should have one in the states!
