Sometimes the weirdest stuff infuriates me
http://ourgossipbites.com/blog9/2009/04/09/foxs-newest-reality-show-takes-insensitive-to-new-heights/
The Fox network is making a reality show out of the troubled economy. An upcoming series titled, “Someone’s Gotta Go,” lets employees of a small business decide which one of their colleagues will be laid off.

I don't know- maybe it upsets me because I know so many people who have been layed off lately?? Not sure.
I posted this over in the GD, but you guys are great for stuff like talking a girl down from the ledge.



So, loungers... what do you think my chances are on starting a petition about this story and trying to make Fox realize it is a BAD idea??????

1. You're right. It's an awful idea.
Which is why the unhinged freeper population might like it. :eyes:

2. It's grotesque
Making money off the misery of others.

Just when I thought Fux couldn't possibly sink any lower.

3. They already have many shows about misery.
Like Survivor, or the gladiator-type physical competitions. Or the Donald Trump show about assistants.
Or Hell's Kitchen with the screaming, ranting chef.

It's all about humiliating and dominating the contestants. Like an arrogant bastard like Trump is some sort of good role model. :wtf: :wtf:
