Sinking to new depths
 

By default I'm placing this in the Entertainment section as I must follow forum rules but if anyone can call this entertaining then how much more can tv companies scrape the barrel?

The host refers to it as "the ultimate reality show".

Wonderful.

That's a disgrace, I wonder how long it will take to creep over this side of the Atlantic.

Re: Sinking to new depths
 

Thats sinking lower than I thought possible :(

What right have these retards to turn the life of a child into a two bit game show.. :mad: :mad:

Words fail me !!!

Re: Sinking to new depths
 

That is sick. I can only believe that Social Services in this country would never allow such a disgusting pantomime to play out involving UK couples/babies. There would be nothing to stop the American show being aired here though. :(

Re: Sinking to new depths
 

eek!


how come every new reality tv show is the 'ultimate' - surely, logically, the 'ultimate reality show' will be turning off the tv and having a life ;) .. in other words, experiencing 'reality' - for real! :Yikes:

i notice as well they have chosen quite a photogenic girl to be giving away the child - adoption can cause problems for a child's attachment style, which can cause serious problems later in life anyway - let alone when it is done in front of a live studio audience!

I think a verdict of 'just plain wrong' applies here!

Re: Sinking to new depths
 

Maybe someone should go over there and explain the difference between a HiFi and a child as they plainly do not know. If it aired over here I for one will not be watching it...

Absulutely disgusting :(

Re: Sinking to new depths
 

Well I'm sure the child, when he/she grows up will be happy to know that it's sad, unfortunate domestic situation made good tv for whatever network, plus ensured good advertising revenue for them in the ad breaks.....

/ Thinks the Truman show :(

Re: Sinking to new depths
 

/Thinks some dumb American TV executive watched The Truman Show and missed the point. :(

Re: Sinking to new depths
 

what a weird view of morality the USA have - to condone something as cruel as this, but act like the world has ended because Janet Jackson flashed a boob :shrug:

Re: Sinking to new depths
 

It's at times like this that I wonder if a free 'press' is really something that is desirable :(

This is just sickening...

Re: Sinking to new depths
 

There should be a law against this kind of ****ing **** being made (sorry bout the language, but this makes me very angry)

None of them deserve to be parents. The CSA should take the kid off whomever wins straight away

Re: Sinking to new depths
 

I don't know about that. What I find disturbing is that the channel has no problem in exploiting these people's undoubtedly very strong wish to have a child for ratings/revenue. I'm just sorry for the people that will make a mockery off themselves on national? tv.

Re: Sinking to new depths
 

I bet Sky already have the rights in the bag.

Re: Sinking to new depths
 

Oh dear !!!

Thats just wrong !!!

Re: Sinking to new depths
 

Well how about watching someone deceiving their family and friends by trying to convince them that they've won the lottery cf the show that Sky are just starting to run???

Re: Sinking to new depths
 

I think that's a pretty poor attempt at a show but when a child's unfortunate domestic circumstance is shown off for all to see in the name of entertainment......they take it to a new level of anti-morality tv.

Re: Sinking to new depths
 

It's about time all "reality" shows were banned - they are all just pathetic crap.

Re: Sinking to new depths
 

I can't beleive people would stoop so low as to do this i'm disgusted they should'nt be able to mess around with the childs life like this it should be done through the proper channels not on reality tv :mad:

Re: Sinking to new depths
 

It would just be better if people wouldn't watch the fecking shows!!!!

The ultimate would of course would be something along the lines of the Running Man.When that arrives on our screens then we are dead as a society,if we aren't nearly there,which we maybe IF we don't protest loudly and long about shows like this in the first place.

Incog

Re: Sinking to new depths
 

OMG. I didn't think reality TV could possibly sink to new depths, but this.... :rolleyes: :( :mad:


I wouldn't be surprised. Either Sky or Channel 4/Five.

How about an adoption pageant in a shopping mall ... ooops, they already do that
