Arianna Huffington: Is Undercover Boss the Most Subversive Show on Television?

Undercover Boss, the new CBS reality show in which corporate CEOs don disguises and spend a few days experiencing what it's like to be a low-level worker at their companies, is the kind of popular entertainment that can start out as one thing -- a fun, high concept reality show -- but morph into something that affects the zeitgeist by turning a spotlight on just how out of touch America's corporate chiefs are. And their cluelessness is not just about the jobs their workers do -- it's about the lives their workers lead. Maybe if our elected representatives went undercover for a little while and experienced the reality of the millions of American families that are measurably worse off because of Washington's actions and inactions, we might get some real change.
