In short, it is pretty much an attack (or uncovering of the vices, if you will) of a profession I feel really strongly about.
Lest you think I'm writing this to be negative or trying to polarizing for the sake of being polarizing, I'm not.
If taken seriously, it could possibly be a seed to propel a change in the industry (okok, I sound like I have delusions of grandeur here), but a lot of ppl may find it offensive due to its negative overtones (even though I'm trying to come across in a matter-of-fact way).
Nothing in it will be exaggerated or made up, but I feel light should be brought to this issue.

I've done a quick search and no-one seems to have written anything like this before.
Is it even possible to get something like this published?
Will it come across as discriminatory / degrading?
I don't plan to use my real name to publish (duh), but could it possible be traced back to me and end in my untimely death? (lol)

Would you write something like this?
