Michael Vick to Star in His Own Reality TV Show
Art Thou KIDDING ME?!?!
"Sure, end dogfighting. I don't have to pay for it, do I?"
First the Philadelphia Eagles and now BET is signing this guy!? Seriously?
BET is partnering with Michael Vick’s production company (he has a production company!?) to produce a reality show for Vick, tentatively called The Michael Vick Project.
No, I’m not kidding. Michael friggin’ Vick, dog killer extraordinaire, is partnering with Black Entertainment Television to produce a REALITY SHOW. The show, according to its producers, will be different than ordinary reality shows and will be more serious in tone. According to Radar Online, “The series will explore Vick’s past, his time in prison, his NFL comeback and his problems with his fiancé.”
Notably, the statement doesn’t expressly say that his reality show will explore the fact that he is a goddamn dog killer. Additionally, because Vick is 20 million dollars in debt, there is, unsurprisingly, no word on whether any of the proceeds of the show will be donated to any animal organizations.
I seem to recall a faux contrite press conference during which Vick claimed that he wanted to set an example for kids and that he would attempt to begin to atone for his animal murdering sins.
We’re still waiting Vick. Still waiting.

Jujubees says:He seriously needs to donate a buttload to SPCA and he deserves a huge pee on the leg from the dog world.

Lily the Pink says:Part of his sentencing (I think) forced him to “donate” $1 million dollars to care for the 54 dogs recovered from his property. He probably thinks that’s enough. If I were him, and I was trying to repair my image, I’d donate my first years salary to the Humane Society.
