A book I'll never read

You may have heard me say I'm indifferent to The Price is Right. But I'm downright hostile to the eternal lawsuits around the show. I have to cover them because this is a game show news blog, and the lawsuits (sadly) make game show news. But it's a chore, believe me.

So it's with distaste that I announce some model (her name is Kathleen Bradley) is publishing some tell-all book about something on The Price is Right. The book sounds like a Bob-Barker-bash, though the web page insists rather goofily that it's not. It's just that Barker and company are guilty of "hypocrisy, sexism and racism," "dirty little secrets," "politically incorrect attitudes," "betrayals," and body odor. Okay, I made up that last one.

I hope the book doesn't sell one copy. I really do. Not that I'm a big fan of Barker. Couldn't care less about him, in fact. I'm just tired of people - lawyers, in particular - making money off the alleged sins and secrets of The Price is Right.

Unfortunately, I have a depressing notion that the book will sell a lot more than one copy. It's just what the world needs now.
