I’d vote for Sanjaya.

This, too, shall pass.

I’ve seen shows where TV contestants competed for a woman’s body parts. I think it was called “The Dating Game.”

[Larry Lucido]

LOL!

[Calpernia]

I was just going to ping him too.

Oh those enlightened Europeans... Will the States ever measure up to them?

Western ‘civilization’ is headed toward the same level where Roman audiences loved watching slaves fighting to the death and undesirables being fed to lions.

“Western ‘civilization’ is headed toward the same level where Roman audiences loved watching slaves fighting to the death and undesirables being fed to lions.”

In what direction do you think these so-called reality shows are going? LMAO

[Disturbin]

“One show to come under the spotlight is Spuiten en Slikken (Shooting and Swallowing) in which the presenters experiment with drugs and a range of sexual exploits.”

How long before this ends up on Bravo?

Coming soon to a FOX channel near you.

You're right.

Why do the contestants have to wait until she dies? Wouldn’t it be more fun if they could chase her down on live TV and extract the parts they need, themselves?

When one outlaws the sale of organs, this is where you wind up. I’d much rather have my children financially well-off through a bidding war over my organs than donate them.

The price of organs is artificially held to zero by law, so of course the supply is limited.

The Netherlands is already in the forefront of the Culture of Death, leading the way with assisted suicides and (in)voluntary euthanasia.

Evidently Dutch Calvinism is dead, and nothing has taken its place but drugs, despair, and death.

This is what socialized medicine gets you. Competition in the marketplace...
