Tiny House

Recently while watching an old KU game, I saw a commercial from a few years ago that frankly one of the biggest teases of my life. It looked like a trailer for a new reality show, but boy was I wrong. It started off with a recently married couple who went to live in a tiny house for a year, hence the name of the reality show, Tiny House.

The first few scenes showed the couple having a few laughs as they adjusted to these tiny living quarters. "This is pretty awesome," the guy said. But their enthusiasm quickly gave way to angst as they continually bump their heads, fell out of bed, and struggle to make omelets.

It wasn't until the end of the commercial when I had to air my disgust at being made to play the fool. Here I was, ready to enjoy one of the most creative and refreshing reality shows to come down the pike in some time, and I had the rug pulled from underneath me. I never felt so betrayed in my life. It was really a fucking insurance company commercial for Geico. They have made a few like this where you are led to believe you are watching something else, but it is really a plug for car insurance. I don't know how they think they can get away with this. I know I for one will never use their company now because of their tomfoolery and utter disregard for human emotion.

Damn you Geico for ruining my life. To this day I still want to see this show made. I had such high hopes.
