Fox to make reality TV show out of human misery (company layoffs)

[Mr. Hyde]

NEW YORK – The Fox network is making a reality show out of the troubled economy. An upcoming series titled, "Someone's Gotta Go," lets employees of a small business decide which one of their colleagues will be laid off.

Fox says it has no air date yet for the series, which is being developed by the company behind "Big Brother" and "Deal or No Deal." Each week, a different company lays off an employee.

Fox also wouldn't reveal the show's host, which it says is a business consultant who will offer advice to participating companies


What a bunch of sick fucks.

3. I'm sure Fox can come up with a better title than that . . .

How about "Weak Losers Who Deserve To Die" or "Let's Fire The Socialists"?

Better yet - "Firing Liberals!" - where Fox viewers can vote online to give Obama voters "what they deserve"!!!

4. Wonder if it will backfire on them/

5. I see it as psychological warfare against working folks.

It's a new and improved form of fear mongering.
