New CBS Series To Test Generosity By Asking Families To Choose Between Keeping Or Sharing 100K

The producer told the industry news site one episode will feature a “right wing, Texas Christian conservative, God-loving, gun-toting” clan. They slowly learn that the other family in the equation is a married lesbian couple who want to use the money to have a baby via intrauterine insemination.

So in other words, this isn't about charity or "sharing" at all, it's really about setting a gotcha trap for conservatives. Figures.

Sick. And exploitive.

I’d call the cops. Anyone with that much cash is up to no good. They do the asset forfeiture, the media drones end up in jail, and I get the finder’s fee. I’d call that a win-win-win. Add another win for the lawyers.

Will you be surprised if you find out that the conservatives gave away their money, and the other couple kept theirs?

It’s going to be scripted, anyway.

I followed the link to the original article:

All of the families are profiled. I think this is the one in question:

The Wylies of Rio Vista, Texas: After suffering a bad back injury almost 20 years ago and losing his well-paying job in the steel industry, Matt now works as the local constable. Becky and Matt admit that their financial situation has made life difficult, but they believe strongly in community service and rely heavily on their Christian faith to guide them.

The Baileys of Dorchester, Mass.: Three years ago, Tonya and Leila took in Leila’s nephews, Milton and Jaden, and today the children are thriving. Taking on the responsibility of two children comes with added costs and they have put their dream of having a child of their own on hold.

Rio Vista is about an hour south of Ft. Worth.

So, do you think this is going to turn out as expected?

I think the biggest issue will be what and how the information is dribbled out about the other family. The producers can easily manipulate the outcome.

See my earlier posting for more information....

If Rosie O’Doughnuts relationships are any indication in the papers, this series is gonna be a REAL eye opener...

I would answer them, “I gave $25k to Ted Cruz, $25k to Pro-life orgs, and the govt took most of the rest.

[ArmstedFragg]

It’s sort of a marginally more sophisticated version of Bum Fights.

Commie television reprogramming alert. Big Brother is alive and well.

We need to get a FReeper teeam on this show and donate 25k to Ted Cruz, Scott Walker , Ben Carson and Rick Stantorum!
