The popular reality television show "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" is known for changing the lives of people by remodeling their homes and giving them lavish new items. Unfortunately after all tears and happy moments have been filmed some of these families have ended up in serious financial trouble.
I saw an article today on Yahoo! talking about how these families get the house but they do not get the mortgage. This show was intended to reward people who had not had the best times in their lives but in some cases it ends up punishing them again.
The show is already superficial, the idea that we can make up for human suffering with expensive home remodels is kind of ridiculous but now it seems that many families can't even have that.

That's terrible. I really didn't know that. I thought that the families in need really do get their dream home and everyone just lives happily ever after. I guess that is not is really happening.
