MOMENT OF TRUTH OR MOMENT OF STUPIDITY

So as I am sitting here in a still moment where I have time to think and just randomly watching tv while waiting for American Idol (I pomised my cousin) I find myself watching a new show called "Moment of Truth". From what I understand of this show people are attached to a lie detector and then asked horrible and life destroying questions for money. Who does this? Why would you subject your family and friends to this kind of torture? At least with those crazy shows like "Fear Factor" or "Survivor" (neither of which I have ever seen) they are only risking themselves or their own comfort factor, but with this show they are not only answering VERY personal question about themselves and their relationships but they are doing it in front of those family and friends. WHY? How desperately do you need this money? Sure I would love to win $100,000 or $200,000 or $500,000 or more for an hour worth of work; who wouldn’t? But I just couldn’t see hurting my family just for it and that is including the ones that really, really get on my nerves. With all the new reality shows that have taken over the air ways during the recent writers strike are they saying that they couldn’t find another way to win money?
However, I also was struck with another thought as I left it on to see just how far this woman would go; I was helping to keep this show on. I mean think about it. What does it say about our society that a show like this not only makes it on the air but stays on the air? How desesitized is our culture that this is considered entertainment?
Now many I have a different view because I personally think I would be boring on there. It would be like Britney Spears or Whitney Houston or Mother Theresa. Most already know everything or wouldn’t care about the answer because the questions would be so tame. Yet even if I had ex’s that could tell tales or parents that would cry at my past I just think I would have to be suck on stupid or desperate to do this and even then I think I would have to hire people to preteen to be family and friends. Do disregard someone’s feels and trust in me that way I might as well be taking them on Jerry Springer.
This is just something that has disaster all over it and I feel for not only those that created it but those that go on it. Because in the end even if you win the "grand" prize after everything that you have risked, revealed, and lost is it worth it? It’s like the Bible says, "What does it profit a man to gain the whole world but lose his own soul".
