Bizarre - I was stunned as well wehn I saw the promo.

I turned to my wife and said, "they're making game shows out of people's most vulnerable moments!" I could swear one woman behind Walters in the promo had that classic sunken depression stare.

In addition, these extreme makeover / "swan" shows are stunningly exploitative. It's only a matter of time until they have a screwed up plastic surgery or a suicide.

I, too, saw the promo. It was horrifying. Walters needs to be committed to an insane asylum or prison, along with any adult who would participate in this flesh market. What is the definition of slavery, anyway? How do we draw the line between human bondage and adoption? Has ABC ever heard the word, "ethics"? Roll over, Rome, we're about to join you in the heap of dead decadent civilizations.
