This has the potential to be awesome.
The network is set to announce "Secret Millionaire," a new series from RDF USA in which wealthy benefactors go undercover in impoverished neighborhoods. For about 10 days, a multimillionaire meets financially destitute locals and experiences what it's like to live on a meager budget for the first time in their lives. At the show's conclusion, the millionaire reveals his true identity to the community and gives a minimum of $100,000 of his own money to at least one deserving person.
"How often do we see somebody who's homeless on the street and wonder what it would be like to live like that?" Fox president of alternative entertainment Mike Darnell asked. "Whereas the superwealthy are so detached from that experience. This is a really clever conceit and has a great emotional arc to it."

fucking never

Let's hope it has more staying power than Moment of Truth - which was fun 'till we realized that nobody would ever go for the top prize.

In other news cigarette and booze sales skyrocket when the millionaire gives his money away.
-
Oh, Fox.

They canceled the show in ARgentina because a woman admitted she paid to have her husband killed.

Fox is supposed to be making some more episodes of that.
-
My God, GilloD.

Moment of Truth was interesting for a few episodes, but then it got kind of annoying to watch, and I really think it would have gotten fairly predictable rather fast. There really isn't a HUGE pool of shocking secrets out there that the average Joe will have, and if you get a, well, unaverage joe, chances are they can't say anything lest they face the police or something.
The editing was so obnoxious, though. It would take like a full hour to ask a half dozen questions.

I want to see a full-on real version of MILF Island and The Running Man.
Does anyone think we're realistically ten years or so away from a version of The Running Man?
-
there's a carlin routine about that, it's pretty funny
we live in a world where, at one time in history, thousands of people gathered to watch midgets fight bears and lions
so, yeah, probably less than ten years, actually

Does this mean we are due for our very own American Caligula soon?

Can I ride the decapitation machine?

I am glad we live in a time when the decapitation machine could likely actually be built.
