This just in: Bad Dads We (sorta) Love are now going to be on television! Yes, ladies and gentlemen, you’ve begged, you’ve pleaded, and now VH-1 will give you exactly what you want and/or deserve: a new reality series, “Dad Camp,” which “tasks unprepared fathers-to-be to step up and become a part of their children’s lives.”
Step up, Daddies. Go big or go home. Must see stuff! A show about bad fathers who aren’t even fathers yet. I smell Emmy, folks, don’t you? Here’s more hype:
“Dad Camp” also addresses many of today’s societal issues including the importance of male role models, absent fathers and the struggles of being a young parent. In the dramatic conclusion, the mothers-to-be will decide whether they will be a family or if they will leave their irresponsible boyfriends and raise their babies on their own, ultimately deciding the fate of their children’s future.
You know what I like out my reality television programming? Issues is what, particularly societal ones. I can’t wait.
Shoot me now.
I will watch if R. Lee Ermey is one of the Dad Camp DI’s.
Sweet! I know when I was expecting my first kid and feeling the weight of the world on my shoulders while questioning my own self-worth and abilities to raise a child, I really could’ve used someone screaming at me and tearing me down in front of millions of people.
Do the castoff dads go straight to Temptation Island afterward, or do they detour through The Bachelorette?
Daddy files–you cracked me up. –Theodore
nothing like a guilt trip in advance of possible future failures to set up anticipation of future failures. add the screaming in the face and sweaty t-shirt and you are talking redemption of fatherhood. thank goodness
PTSD can only make you a better father!
Moron Island is begging these guys to come and visit.
