FERGUSON, Mo. — (TG) Looking to capitalize on the frayed nerves of a nation on the eve of a potentially explosive grand jury decision in the Darren Wilson case, reality TV production company Focal Dungeon announced a new series that will be shot in troubled Jefferson City, Missouri.

Entitled “Loot to Thrill,” the show will follow the fortunes of four small businesses – a florist, a golf shop, a specialty bakery, and a jewelry store – that will open their doors the moment the Wilson verdict is announced. To ensure fairness, the businesses will be located adjacent to each other, occupying the four corners of an intersection near what is expected to be ground zero for a once-in-a-generation outburst of sustained rioting, looting, murder, and other forms of righteous mayhem spawned by a verdict that has absolutely nothing to do with private property owners.

Is there ANY DOUBT in anyone’s minds that this isn’t a COORDINATED EVENT?

Would love to see their business plans.

“being shot in troubled Jefferson City, Missouri”.
Jeff city is The capital of MO and is doing fine thank you.
Why not shoot this show in Ferguson, not a town 100 miles away?

Oh never mind. I see the quote is wrong after reading the article. It will be shot is Ferguson.

My production company was doing the same thing in Ferguson. We had a weave store, a rim shop, a liquor store, and a Nike shoe store. I would love to show the results but our camera equipment was stolen.

Actually, middle-income satire. But thanks for the sympathy.
