We've all gotten a gift at some point in our lives that has left us wondering, "What the hell were they thinking?" Now, you finally have a chance to make it work to your advantage, and maybe even get a few questions answered in the process. Comedian, writer, and political satirist Lizz Winstead is looking for people for a new web show she'll be hosting for Lifetime. Yes, I know it's Lifetime, but I promise Meredith Baxter won't be anywhere nearby. I mean, it's Lizz Winstead, right? If Lifetime is calling on Winstead to host a show, it's because they're looking to do something a little different here. The show, Gift Intervention, will come in 6 minutes snippets, each show exploring the thought behind a horrendous gift, with both the recipient and the giver present. That's right, folks, Winstead will be doing a little gift intervention here to get to the bottom of the matter. So take your bad gifts down to the Mall of America this weekend (11 a.m. to 4 p.m.), along with an awesome story, and see if you can get your six minutes of fame. If nothing else, it's a great opportunity to meet a stellar woman.
