Following on from the previous post there was another reality prog last night, on I think ch 4, (can't rember the title) that perfectly illustrates the points made on said post. Here they had a Big Brother scenario where people are placed in a hermetically sealed controlled artificial environment and promised a large sum of money. They all have to give reasons why they think they most deserve to get it.
I only saw a fraction of this odious prog but got the gist of it. A homosexual (token -actually there were two) insisted that a Lapdancer was the most deserving and the group then proceeded to have bitter arguments over the issue. High moral postions were assumed and no one had the ethical perspective to recognise that not one of them deserved this unearned largesse. Morover they were incapable of seeing what a corrupting effect the mere hint or possibility of receiveing the unearned had had on them and their behaviour.
The fact that TV companies are prepared to place people in such compromising and degrading situations for pure greed and larcenous motives and that they can find willing participants in such a degrading dehumanising excercise is a sad commentary on the moral state of the nation eh what?
