I've never been a fan of them, although i will watch pawn stars and did watch American chopper from time to time.
That being the case I was contacted by our corporate office and asked if I wanted to be apart of the reality show they were filming up north. Apparently because of a small contract dispute we had, and al the fuss it generated the higher ups thought it would be a good idea to bring me on board as a source of potential conflict. (They said I am very opinionated and would bill me as a 'mad scientist' of sorts because of my technical expertise.) I declined because it is my opinion that shows like this even if they are successful tends to devalue a given business creditability, by airing out their dirty laundry all of the time. To which they came back at me with the benefits and the various success stories. I said we are not making duck calls or selling retail items. We sell very expensive equipment with a high demand for technical expertise. The last thing people who buy our equipment want to see is Jersey shore meets hunny boo boo, then have to call us and pay us a premium for help.
But, I could be wrong. What do you all think?
