For sale: the perfect couple
A women's magazine has purchased Bec and Leyton Hewitt for 12 months for $1 million. This will give the magazine exclusive access to the couple, to print tittle-tattle about their relationship, photograph them sitting around their house and to discover what is Bec’s favourite music.

It’s sure to make fascinating reading. I can’t wait to see Leyton’s new Italian coffee table or hear Bec’s recipe for muffins…..

But has the dystopia of Truman Show has finally arrived – can a corporation now buy – or at least rent – a person? Would you be willing to sell your soul for $1 million?

You bet. Fleece the suckered public for all you can – it’s what the Big Brother house has taught us.
