And My disappointment with EHM Continues

As if my experiences with the Extreme Home Makeover weren't disappointing enough, John happened upon this article on The Smoking Gun website: http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/0327062extreme1.html

I remember about 3 years ago, the casting department called my organization looking for a widow of a fallen firefighter who's house they could make over. The problem is, they wanted a widow that also had a very sick child. I thought that was a little bizarre. This article takes the cake! Exploitation maybe? You be the judge.
