"I want that baby"
Watching the news this morning they showed an advert clip for the program.
I can't quite believe that it's not a spoof 'cause what they say/do is so funny.
"5 couples compete for the chance to adopt a pregnant 16 year old girls baby."
This is one reality TV show that i am actually half interested in watching.
Just morbid fascination mind you.
Anyways comments/opinions?

Re: "I want that baby"
This is even worse than that reality show MTV is doing about morons who have plastic surgery to look like famous people.
When reality TV goes too far!

Re: "I want that baby"
So what do you think will come next?
"Dead not Buried" - An exciting look at Americas funeral homes. 5 terminally ill patients, who cannot afford a funeral, battle to secure a top of the range oak coffin with genuine gold handles and a buffet for up to 100 guests "when their time comes".
Suggestions please.

Re: "I want that baby"
In a thousand years, when anthropology students discuss the fall of 20th century civilisation into chaos and anarchy, teachers will draw parallels to the end of the Roman era, when decadence and sloth combined with a morbid fascination with the misery of others led to the destruction of their way of life. As Gladiators and feasts and ogies were their 'bread and circuses', Reality TV, WWE and UFC are ours.
Look around everybody, and remember. We are at the twilight of an age, and nobody can even see it.

Re: "I want that baby"
I think winning children on game shows is well beyond the pale myself.
This show is coming under a lot of criticism in the US and I really hope it's cancelled. I'm not terribly sanguine that it would be replaced by anything better, however, but as I don't watch TV I guess I shouldn't care.

I laughed at first, then I realised that I could actually picture that happening.
Immigration - 10 Afganistanis compete to be given a free lift across the English Channel.

By Jove you're right! Perhaps I should have read the article before passing judgement.
Still, whoever made the advert is a fool

Same here.
One of the challenges could be "Telling your family that the disease is in remision, your life expectancy is now good and the Doctors think you will live for a good few more years yet."
The patient who manages to fool his family for longest wins the most points \o/

Re: "I want that baby"
"The Chunnel" - 10 immigrants are given the chance of permanent asylum in the uk but at a price, they shall be hunted by an elite force of 4 south african safari huntsmen with Elephant guns. Can they make it to the light at the end of the Chunnel?!
p.s. a better embelishment on an earlier idea posted above.

That sounds too similar to that Jean Claude Van Damme film (where he is hunted for money).

Hard Target. He isn't really hunted for money since the guys paying a quarter million each at the end are just mugs.

Re: "I want that baby"
The paradigm of porn described by the website which is located by adding a common website suffix to bangbus.
The original story of two guys, a video camera, a big ****ing bus and a lesson into to depths of human debauchery...

Jean Claude Van Damme while he might always look filthy, ugly and uncivil isn't an immigrant.
NOR WAS THAT MOVIE IN A CHUNNEL
Likewise I'm thinking Jumanji style hunter.

You do realise every one of those bangbus things are entirely set up, involving women prepped beforehand and well aware of what is about to happen?

You do realise History is embelished by the victors and rarely is an accurate recollection of what happened?

The orginal ads for the show suggested that couples would be 'competing' for the child. Perhaps the show is simply a documentary that the ads portrayed as some sort of game show; but then we're just substituting tasteless advertising for tasteless programming. If there's confusion regarding what the show's about then ABC really has no one to blame but themselves.

Nor is a tv show, for that matter. I don't care for tasteless tv, but I don't share Verm's view that reality tv shows represent the götterdämmerung of contemporary western society.

Re: "I want that baby"
They have a reality show about funeral homes in america,... :-/ And the worst reality show that i heard of was "Who wants to marry a midget" it wasnt that name, but thats what they were doing? The catch phrase was "will the midget choose a girl midget or a real woman" really
its getting sad. Although one bright spot was the apprentice... survivor still kicking ass :-)

Re: "I want that baby"
Actually the best show on north american tv is the Swan
Where they take really hideous or Average hickish looking women and blow a few million on totally doing her over from head to toe, they do this to like 12 women and then put them in a beauty contest.
What do they do to fill the time you ask? Show them breaking up with their spouses who love them the way they are but don't want them to change.

Yah I reckon things can get a lot worse still.
I mean we could have page 3 slappers screening their deliveries of their bastard children on the net for payment, get to see a nice big baby head come out of their flappers.
Oh wait....

I'm pretty sure the pundits have been lamenting/predicting the imminent decline of civilization since, well, civilization began.
