How far will reality TV go?
 

How far do you think "reality tv" will go? Do you think human craving for more and more stimulation having had senses dulled from years of excess will lead to death games on tv or hardcore fucking gameshows, etc?

go rent running man

i did, a very long time ago :-)

the hardcore stuff will never be on the main channels....too many parents would kick up an uproar obviously....but i can see it getting pretty wicked...isn't it already at times?

yeah, there's some fulll-on stuff around.. but i'm wondering perhaps it may become generally socially acceptable and mainstream, atleast within certain areas of western culture there seems to be a trend toward this happening.

As far as it can.

Remember that movie The Running Man with Arlond Schwarz- whatever? And they had those fucked up tv shows with people doing crazy shit for money?
We're not far from that. Especially with Fear Factor.

its already being pushed to the limits, but even those limits will be stretched

I posted before I read that.

They will push the envelope until it breaks and then push a bigger envelope! :Graucho

Reality TV sucks
get satellite instead:glugglug

Running man is good but read "The Long Walk" just once. It is Stephen King writing as Richard Bachman. Talk about a reality series lol...

about 6 or 7 miles in my opinion

There's a fun little flick called $la$her$ which features a gameshow with serial killers stalking contestants....

I dont know dude. maybe one day it will be same like internet. who knows :glugglug

The envelope is constantly being pushed.. it will never end.. if it does.. the world would be a boring and predictable place for many people... some would like this relaxing peace -- free from junk stimuli.. but many would not, given their conditioning to like what is new and stimulating.. death sports / sex sports are probably going to be mainstream in the future .. prisoners on death-row pay thier debt to society in other ways.. entertainment!

Maybe.. there are a lot of little countries with few laws and easily bribed officials. I hope not though.
