America's cultural cesspool.
Posted by snark at April 8, 2009 09:00 AMif it's going to be on FOX, it will be more like this: employees are called together then guns and plenty of ammo are passed out. Staff will then execute the guy they want out. FOX will blame Obama.
Posted by T2 at April 8, 2009 09:39 AMWhat about medical records of the employees? If it's costing the company more for insurance or the employee is missing days... they're an anchor right?
Erin, That is a really fucked up show... in so many ways. "Survival" meets "The (low level) Apprentice".
Posted by Seven of Six at April 8, 2009 09:42 AMI think T2 probably has it. Only it won't be the staff en masse - it'll be just one guy who decides it won't be him that gets laid off.
OMG . . Darwinism at its finest.

pink slips! oh goody! can we vote here for pink slips? I'm having a hard time deciding between peter and "Obama is shit".
Posted by TIKI AL at April 8, 2009 11:41 AMAw, come on, TIKI, OIS is hilarious! His "I know you are, but what am I" style is giggle-worthy. And we sure need some laughs these days after what the GOP has put us through these past 30 years. This is the great unraveling of the Repubs we've been waiting for; that they're stomping their widdle footsies and calling Obama names while they watch their relevance vanish overnight is a joy to behold. Let 'em flail; it's better entertainment than any sucky idea Fox ever came up with.
Posted by Twinky P* at April 8, 2009 11:55 AMAmerican ship, Maersk Alabama, has been hijacked. This never happened in the previous 8 years. Hmmmm … 8 years …. I wonder why …. I wonder if it has anything to do with the FACT that we use to have an honest, honorable, President who had a set of balls, and now we have a President who is a puke, little, corrupt, cowardly, pussy, who will continually be tested, as his own VP told us. Obama is a corrupt, lying cowardly piece of garbage, as is Pelosi, Dodd and Frank, and together these a holes will get many Americans killed.
Posted by Obama the COWARD at April 8, 2009 01:04 PMHey Tokyo Rose, you're wasting your time. Aren't there some little kittens around that you can mutilate?
Posted by snark at April 8, 2009 01:13 PMIt started raining today, goddammit, Obama and Pelosi, I blame you! We've had sunshine for 3 days! Hmm. Could Obama have a magical rain making ability he got from Sarkozy? You betcha!
Posted by Twinky P* at April 8, 2009 01:20 PMThis never happened in the previous 8 years.
Come on, honey, you're starting to get boring. I know - why don't you tell us about your teabagging parties coming up. We promise not to laugh...much...
Dance monkey, dance! Amuse us some more!
Posted by Twinky P* at April 8, 2009 01:29 PMObama the COWARD..you left out the part about him being black.
Posted by T2 at April 8, 2009 02:30 PMThe best thing for America would be if Osama snatched Obama. Wouldn’t that be cool? The bad part would be that Obama would not be treated like a "Pearl", but instead, Osama would set Obama at his right hand and say, “Thank you Obama for all your help in killing so many American soldiers in the past and present, by talking down your processor, and talking down the threat of terrorism, and thank you for all the help you are now giving us to kill many more Americans in the future.
Osama says, “Mr. Obama, you and your Liberal followers in America have been some of our best allies in the war against the American infidel. You and your kind deserve much credit, and have much American blood on your hands, for aiding in the deaths of many American soldiers”. Osama thanks Obama and his Liberal sheep for helping kill American civilians and soldiers.
I'm just waiting for Fox to have the "Dumpster Diving Olympics." They can have homeless pulling out prized finds from the dumpster bins of their choice while being filmed. Just think of the prime cuisine they can surface with for the viewers' delectation. Yum!
Posted by PrahaPartizan at April 8, 2009 02:58 PMFrom the link, there's another exciting show, though I'm not sure it's Fox:
In Touch is reporting that Suleman's long-expected reality show deal will not only follow the mother of octuplets around the clock, but will also zoom in on her quest to find a man.In case you were worried this show might accidentally produce a reasoned national discussion on single motherhood, the politics of childcare or the range of mental disorders apparently afflicting Suleman, "In Touch editor Kim Serafin says the series will be a cross between John & Kate Plus 8 and The Bachelor," Hollyscoop reports (In Touch article isn't online). So there's not much danger of high-minded analysis.
Not that there's much to say on that level, really. OK! reached out to high-profile attorney Gloria Allred for reaction to the show. She thinks Suleman might only care about her many children insofar as they help her get attention. You don't say.
Those poor kids.
Posted by Twinky P* at April 8, 2009 03:14 PMPrahaPartizan,
Why would FOX want to have an, "NBC Diving Olympics"?
Why would FOX want Chris Mathews, Rachael Maddow and Keith Oldberman to pull out prized finds from the MSNBC-TV bins?
Posted by OIS at April 8, 2009 03:39 PMDid Peter changed his name to OIS? Or OIS is getting the same talking points from RNC?
Posted by suresh at April 8, 2009 03:59 PMThey can have homeless pulling out prized finds from the dumpster bins of their choice while being filmed. Just think of the prime cuisine they can surface with for the viewers' delectation. Yum!
Far more exciting would be former bearStearns executives and other CEOs doing same - and 1 out of 5 bins should be booby-trapped with a variety of traps. Rabid animals, contaminated sharps, household toxins - all the way up to explosives.

YES ... EXACTLY .... NO AMERICAN SHIP WAS HIJACKED in at least 8 years!!!!
Your link proved that.
EVEN THOUGH YOU TRIED VERRY, VERRY, VERRY, HARD to mislead and TO BE DECEPTIVE, by grouping hijackings and List of ships attacked. Just your dishonest style I guess.
The only American ships even listed were only fired upon from long range, with small weapons, NOT HIJACKED and held for ransom. When the terrorists pirates saw they were American ships they retreated, and went after other countries ships.
You should probably read your links before you post your ignorance .... You silly childish moron. You probably knew this, and using the old tried and true Liberal, progressive tactic of lying, purposely tried to deceive readers.
The terrorist pirates never use to screw with American ships when the Great American Hero President Bush was kicking terrorist ass, but now. Of course now, with the corrupt, cowardly, lying, criminal, terrorist enabler Obama, we can count on being hijacked, bombed and beheaded.
Twinky P …. You are dishonest
Aw, aren't you cute? If you'd actually read the link, or any of the news stories you'd know that an American ship wasn't hijacked. The ship is owned by a Danish company, though it was flying a US flag. But I'm sure you knew that, just as you knew that it was the first ship flying an American flag captured by pirates in 200 years, a fact you tried to hide (gasp!) by making it all about your butt-buddy Bush. Your precious chimpy didn't do anything but make terrorism grow exponentially over the past 8 years, and in fact, ignored the pirate problem under his watch, which is why the pirates have widened their range so successfully. If Bush had done his job, the pirates would have been dealt with by now and no one would have been hijacked.
I'm shocked, shocked, I tell you, that a silly boy like you tried to deceive us! Usually right wing nutbars like yourself are so honest.
Posted by Twinky P* at April 8, 2009 04:54 PMThe terrorist pirates...
Elevating pirates to terrorists... impressive OIS. Just like FAUX News.
...the Great American Hero President Bush was kicking terrorist ass...
Was Osama ever caught?
How many innocent civilian Iraqi's died?
...terrorist enabler Obama, we can count on being hijacked, bombed and beheaded.
How many Americans have been bombed and beheaded under Obama? Come OIS tell the truth... wait, is that a lie you told? LOL
This freak is like what 16 years old, from Deadwood, OR. Yeah, he's been visiting our site as well.
Talk about motivation!!!
Iraq Vets Thrilled About OBAMA Visit.
Keep building the troop morale OBAMA... something that the troops have been without for 7 years. A CIC who cares!
Posted by Seven of Six at April 8, 2009 05:11 PMDance monkey, dance! Amuse us some more!
Twinky, Hilarious... did you see Jon Stewart last night... (paraphrase) "Republicans... it's called losing elections... believe me, I know... we have lost a few close ones the last 8 years!"
Posted by Seven of Six at April 8, 2009 05:23 PMSoS, the troops loved Obama, that's for sure. Those were some great clips! And the difference between Bush's interactions with world leaders compared to the visibly warm welcome the Obamas were greeted with abroad is stark even to those who don't watch politics at all. People like it when they actually can feel good about their president on the international stage rather than be embarrassed by him. That's why this joker OIS is so comical. What kind of person walks into a gathering and announces that they support a douchenozzle? Some bully kid, or some drunk itching for a fight. It's ridiculous. The only response is laughter. And if you get the chance, watch the clip on Olberman tonight with Rush getting totally pwned by a loyal fan and irate caller. It was golden. The beginning of the end. I've got Stewart on the dvr, and I must say, Colbert is on fire!

I bet you're the smartest one in your family
Posted by PHI...DIPI...DE...S, uhhh ... at April 8, 2009 07:07 PMI've got an idea for a show.
Lock the doors at FOX HQ. Gather up about 2 dozen meth'd up cannibals. With machetes. Give them 24 hours to hunt.
Film it all. Live.
Posted by The Creator at April 8, 2009 07:10 PMWho is this jackass, and why hasn't his silly ass been blocked yet? The rhetorical twisting was amusing at first, but he's obviously run out of steam.
Posted by idiosynchronic at April 8, 2009 07:36 PMHeck this is the best the pukes can do right now...easy to see where an OIS "mentality" would come from...
“I cannot believe what I heard today,” Senator Inhofe said in a You Tube video posted from Afghanistan. “President Obama is disarming America. Never before has a president so ravaged the military at a time of war.”
They're all rocket scientists, obviously...
Turkana banned him, but he rose up and managed to push the rock away just in time for the holiday.
Posted by TIKI AL at April 8, 2009 08:08 PMObama bows to his king and kisses his ring.
Oh No ... he wasn't bowing, it is just the height differential.
Oooopps .. The Queen of England is way shorter than The Saudi King, and the height differential didn't seem to matter in England.
The fact is, Obama bowed to his master, because Obama is a gutless, corrupt, cowardly, liar. It’s just that simple, and anyone who doesn't see that is an idiot.
I think this is the perfect reality show for folks like OIS...I mean, OIC...uhhh, OIL. Fuck it. Whatever this assclown calls himself today.
Just think! A bunch of underemployed republi-KKKon fucktards making the "big" money (about $0.85 cents over minimum wage) can sit around swilling the Natty Light -cause it's a cheap buzz- and make fun of people who are in pain! I think it's a winner! The only thing better would be republi-KKKons toe tapping in airport restrooms or sending TMs to underage boys. I guess MSNBC has that market covered with their perv shows.
Posted by phidipides at April 8, 2009 11:18 PMSomeone on the show will go postal, and the Fox promoters will probably be pleased if it happens.
And didn't Aldous Huxley predict something like this?
"Oh brave new world that has such people in it!"
Posted by Copeland at April 8, 2009 11:19 PMObama bows to his king...
Yeah, an inappropriate backrub would have been more ballsy. Rather a leader who shows public respect and gets what he wants than a ballsy baffoon who bent over in private and never did a thing that was not approved by said king.
...and kisses his ring.
For all the lying you accuse others of doing it's amazing how you can't restrain yourself from doing it.
