its stories like this that make me wish i was a billionare. i would pay their house off in a heart beat.

I dare you to watch Extreme Makeover:home edition and not cry!
 

Watching this show last night and I realized that it is phsyically impossible to watch this and not cry at the end. Sure the 2 women bug the hell outta me, and I know the show is there to tug at the heart strings.
I was watching the episode where a mother gave bone marrow to a little girl she didn't know. And the house they built was amaziing!
I would have wanted that house.

I donated bone marrow to someone I didn't know, and I didn't get jack-shit from E.H.M.

Watched it. Didn't cry.

You are now honor-bound to do what I dare you!

I would cry because I was wasting an hour of my life on this crap.

I cry also because I can't bang the chics nor find any nekid pics of them.

+1

I refuse your dare.

+2

I'm so able to not cry at this show I'm not allowed to watch it with my fiancee anymore, particularly because I can't keep my big making-fun mouth shut.

I don't cry. But I make a lot of fun of my wife because she cries most of the times.

(Of course most of the times I'm in another room)

Didn't watch this one but saw one where a family lived in a small house in cramped quarters and with this show got a freakin' MANSION. Yeah, that makes me want to cry. Not! No more for me.

+3

I'm taking you back to +2 because you aren't using a DVR.

I couldn't possibly watch that show without rolling my eyes constantly at the cheesy way they exploit the families and manipulate the viewers.

If I were to cry, it'd be for the people who can't afford to live in their homes anymore after these folks pimped their house.

+4

Same here. I'm all for being moved by a TV show, not when it's artificial and cloying like this show is.

That's exactly what I was going to post. I've seen the show once and found myself extremely angry at the end at how cheesy and manipulative it was. Their marketing strategy is to clearly try to reach a viewer who wants to cry--and they give them reason to do so. But anyone who is aware of their tricks will most likely be frustrated by the experienced rather than moved.

Then again, maybe I'm just way out of touch with my emotions. :P

+5....Ive watched the show and Id rather pull my toenails one by one slowly which WOULD make me cry.

Watch it weekly, but I never cry.

FIXED

The story goes on to say that in addition to the free house the family was given a quarter million dollar fund for college tuition and house maintenance expenses. I hope ABC did a better job ensuring they weren't able to blow the kids' college funds.

I've always wanted to see some follow up stories on that Pimp my Ride show. The few times I watched it, the people weren't in the best neighborhoods and probably didn't have garages. Then they basically paint a big sign on people's cars that say "Plasma TVs inside" and advertise it on MTV.

I know I'm a few days early on this one, but I just wanted to put this on everyone's radar.

"They want to rock and roll all night, and put up drywall every day."

Good on them for lending their support to a deserving family. Still, it's hard for me to rectify the sappy, rip your heart out style of EM:HE with the band that sang 'Love Gun'.

I wonder if they're going to perform as they blow up the house. That would be pretty bad ass.
