Dear Readers,
OMG! What a world we live in. Just when you though reality TV had done it all. In swoops TLC to prove we all love to see others struggle. Last night I shut down my laptop early just so I could catch the premiere of the new TLC show Strange Addictions. When they said strange addictions they weren't kidding. One of the first women profiled on the show that is addicted to eating toilet paper, nearly 150 sheets per day. She even consumed her 2ply snack while out to lunch with her sister. Turns out she has been eating TP since she was a child. Just like any other addict she failed to see the seriousness of her addiction even after a healthcare professional warned her that her snack attacks could prove fatal. The second story I found to be less interesting, it profiled a woman in her early thirties who is addicted to sleeping with her hair dyer, strange but true. She however by the shows end showed promise of halting her foolish ways. The second episode for me was less appealing in fact I found it be a tad moronic. The first woman is a professional body builder who claims she's addicted to her workouts at the gym. I would have to agree spending six hours a day pumping iron is a bit extreme but stranger things have happened. As for the girl who is 24 and addicted to sucking her thumb I say good luck being taken seriously on Wall Street. Give up the thumb, perhaps try a Jolly Rancher. The boys are more likely to kiss you goodnight if you smell more like green apple and less like a spit soaked baby blanket. I can't wait until next week, the woman being profiled is addicted to eating household cleaners. Get the popcorn ready and tune in.
PS For the record I am currently seeking help for my addiction to Kit Kat bars.
