Just when we thought they couldn’t come up with a new idea for another reality show, this hits the headlines: NBA Owner Giving Away $1M On ‘The Benefactor.’ Yes, that’s right. You don’t have to be smart, pretty, gross or even talented to win a $1 million in an upcoming reality show — the man giving the money away just has to like you.

Mark Cuban, the billionaire owner of the Dallas Mavericks, will give away $1 million in a show called “The Benefactor.” The Dallas Morning News has reported that about 30 contestants will compete on the series. Show details, including the format and number of episodes, remain to be worked out. The show will air on ABC this summer.

Cuban says the right person is going to have to get on his “good side” at just the right time. He says whoever it is will walk away with $1 million. Now, this sounds easy, right? Many of us are enjoyable people. I think the catch is that in order to win, one will have to be nice to Mark Cuban, and that means not wanting to kick his ass.

Yes, he has billions and can squash me like grape, but I’ll admit it out here on the Internet for all the world to read. I can brown nose with the best, but I would lose that competition. Mark Cuban is obnoxious and egotistical. Good luck to whomever thinks he or she can endure such arrogance and immaturity. I guess one could put up with a lot for $1 million, but keep in mind that Uncle Sam takes half — it might not be worth it.
