Be still, beating heart…

…I’m trying mightily to keep from bidding on the opportunity to have a non-speaking, walk-on part on the “George Lopez” show.
No, I’m not. But apparently 44 other people are, and someone’s willing to spend $1,000 to work for free, and be not-famous for a fleeting moment. Great idea on the part of the production company though. “Why pay extras, when we can SELL them the opportunity to do what others usually get paid fairly well for?”
Can anyone else hear the union lawyers’ collective apoplexy?
