I really enjoyed dirty jobs because it appeared to be promoting recognition for the working class. Should have caught on when obvious safety considerations were downplayed for laughs, bit my optimism got the better of me.

Just think if they used the same devious approach to improve things instead of tearing them down. Maybe the approach wouldn't work the other way around.
