My immediate reaction to this soul-searching was pretty vomit-inducing, and it feels incredibly exploitative of the working poor.
Pardon me for not knowing the quote verbatim, but in *Good Will Hunting," Matt Damon accuses Minnie Driver of only dating him so that she can tell her rich friends that she "went slummin', too, once" And the fact that he's making money off of this by publishing a story just drives that point home even more, because as soon as he does that, then it wasn't just for the experience, it was for financial gain.
