- gbarberi, on 12/02/2007, -1/+94Our TV shows are embarrassing us. Our News channels are embarrassing us. I'm chucking my TV and spending all my free time on the internet now.
- facelesscoward, on 12/02/2007, -4/+64Wow, we heterosexuals sure are doing a good job of protecting the sanctity of marriage, huh?
- abbagirl, on 12/02/2007, -1/+37ditto on comment above. i don't ever watch t.v. anymore. the news are tainted and biased, and all the shows are crappy. well, except for lost and late show with david letterman.
this show sounds especially terrible. i'm not anti-immigration at all; what i have a problem with is the implicit idea that all visitors to the u.s. are only interested in using americans to get their green cards. i'm not down with that. it will probably be most white people who are the u.s. citizens and a whole bunch of other non-white people competing for their affections. - KLowD9x, on 12/02/2007, -2/+34"The loser gets deported!"
- brentinkc, on 12/02/2007, -1/+27Fox hasn't bought this yet?
- kenvsryu, on 12/02/2007, -1/+25Will I get to have sex?
- inactive, on 12/02/2007, -0/+21Any more so then Survivor, Kid Nation, American Idol, or Dancing with the Stars??
- Buddybot111, on 12/02/2007, -1/+20The internet doesn't embarass you?
- Mackofalltrades, on 12/02/2007, -1/+19Waaay ahead of ya.
- tige995, on 12/02/2007, -3/+21Wait!
-If you chuck your TV no sports and no video games!!!!
-Are the immigrant women hot? - Vic333, on 12/02/2007, -1/+16I'm guessing the immigration department will have something to say about this.
- supremesonic, on 12/02/2007, -1/+16If the UK ends up getting this, like it got "Are you smarter than a 10 year old?", I am seriously going to bomb America.
I have no bombs, mind you, but I'll find a way... - pendrachken, on 12/02/2007, -1/+11tell me, does retardation hurt? If so you should be in a world of pain...
- markormesher, on 12/02/2007, -0/+10Oh yea. I was having a hard time transferring from my Visa (which I had held for 7 years) to my Green Card (which I started applying for as soon as I arrived) and I asked my attorney wether it would just be easier for me to marry my girlfriend. She told me that it was more likely to get me kicked out of the country and cited for attempting to defraud the government. I'm still not quite sure why it's been so hard for a British Citizen to get a Green Card?
What do they think I am? The front runner on a War of Independence vengeance war? - HappyScrappy, on 12/02/2007, -0/+10The internet has 10x as much embarassingly stupid ***** as TV.
- inactive, on 12/02/2007, -0/+10Probably not. I'm sure there is some physical/attractiveness standard you have to meet.
- DivisibleByZero, on 12/02/2007, -1/+10"Show creator Adrian Martinez said that Morusa Media has not yet found a network to produce or air the show"
I figured fox would be all over this so fox news could complain about how terrible it is. - NDfan0788, on 12/02/2007, -0/+8coming from a poor college student... who should i call?
- caution, on 12/02/2007, -1/+9Normally, entering the US on a specific Visa (like tourist, student, etc.) then getting married makes the process very difficult to complete and results in "administrative review" of the new, now-married, Visa application. This was done several years ago to stem the flow of the old "mail-order" bride scams from countries that had liberal tourist or work Visas to the US.
Sadly, every time they stop a bride influx from one set of countries, a new set pops up to take advantage of their own specific Visa process. Lately it's the former Soviet-bloc countries. - roberto_deneero, on 12/02/2007, -1/+8or how about "Death by La Migra!!!"
- kinerry, on 12/02/2007, -0/+7Speaking of you...
- edebolt, on 12/02/2007, -0/+7its just a pilot proposal... so what... let freedom of speech continue.. I doubt it makes it.. odds are slim from a proposals to successful program ratio anyway.
- Look4Truth, on 12/02/2007, -9/+16Watching this program will support the further destruction of this country.
- acdcfanbill, on 12/02/2007, -0/+6I hear that the show is in cooperation with the site www.bride.ru
- Toast1185, on 12/02/2007, -2/+8if you agree with/want to comment on the comment above you could use the reply feature maybe...?
- bariswheel, on 12/02/2007, -1/+7Very few shows left on TV worth watching. Conan O Brien, PBS, Charlie Rose, Jon Stewart, Steve Colbert, maybe Jay Leno, most of these are now available online.
TV is a lost cause and will be dead very soon. - TypeEE, on 12/02/2007, -0/+6i know in the black market, a us citizen can pocket around $70k to perform a fake marriage to get some one status
- Carburetor, on 12/02/2007, -0/+5Even though my dream is to immigrate one day to the States, in a legal ways of course,
Fake wedding is not an option, and that gives bad example of how some get their citizenship.
Behind all the show and the show offs, the main goal of that program is to marry illegal immigrant with
U.S citizen, and most likely they'll divorce right after. (How can you marry someone you never met before?)
That gives bad ideas to others, and that's ridiculous.
Illegals make it harder for the legals,who can really donate from their skills to this great country,and that's pissing me off.. - jftitan, on 12/02/2007, -1/+6at least with the internet... I can pick and choose... oh wait... I'm on comcast.
(actually I'm on AT&T, which is worse?) - pintomp3, on 12/02/2007, -1/+5crime among immigrants, both legal and illegal, is lower than the rest of the population. the only influx of murderers and thieves this country had was about 500 years ago.
- Glass_Onion, on 12/02/2007, -0/+4I'm installing a new security system in a bomb armament somewhere in the UK over the next couple of weeks. I'm sure for a few thousand I could rig a temporary backdoor. ;-)
- aelias, on 12/02/2007, -0/+4one step closer to "Ow, My Balls!"
- Ellipsys, on 12/02/2007, -0/+4Dug up for support. Legal immigration is great and brings people to this country who contribute culturally, financially, and socially. We shouldn't trivialize what legal immigrants go through by giving Illegal ones free passes and loopholes.
- adoggz, on 12/02/2007, -0/+4start with Hollywood please.
- kirashira, on 12/02/2007, -0/+4Canada should a create a show like this for you Americans...I know you wana move up here..
- inactive, on 12/03/2007, -0/+4QUE?!
- NYGiantsNYYanks, on 12/02/2007, -0/+4Leave it to Los Angeles....
- n8o8, on 12/02/2007, -0/+4I am appalled by this. Citizenship must be taken seriously for our republic to survive, united and in goal and support. This illustrates the path we are on.
- MaliciousKitty, on 12/02/2007, -0/+4"Show seeks to love match migrants and U.S. citizens"
Yeah, because dating shows where someone is trying to marry you for money/citizenship/whatever is a great way to find love. - inactive, on 12/02/2007, -0/+4Ok, so you only like "news-type" shows.... Some people may enjoy watching some of the shows on Comedy Central (South Park?) as well as some of the stuff that comes on the Discovery Channel to name a couple.
- inactive, on 12/02/2007, -1/+4Yup!
- bashturd, on 12/02/2007, -0/+3It truly makes me sad that the average person has been so dumbed down, that they actually find this crap entertaining. All this "Reality TV" really shows just how much our country is declining, it's seriously ***** sad.
- squegie, on 12/02/2007, -0/+3TV? I own a TV and watch movies on it. I wouldn't get rid of it no matter how.. oh wait, you mean the service. I've been doing that for the better part of a decade.
Once you get past the first month and adjust, you'll probably find you don't miss it that much at all. The only downside I've come across is when people start a conversation with "Hey, did you see that Family Guy episode where Peter fights a chicken? No? How about the one where they're being robbed and...". Some people don't understand when you say you don't watch TV and they ask you if you saw another show. They must think I don't watch that show.
I think that The Onion did an article on this phenomena. Ok, found it: http://www.theonion.com/content/node/30863 - inactive, on 12/02/2007, -0/+3Your post shows more respect for the life-long vows marriage and our customs the supposed "entertainers" who came up with this emotionally bankrupt idea.
- inactive, on 12/02/2007, -0/+3I thought it was illegal to marry for the sole purpose of gaining citizenship...
- Falldog, on 12/02/2007, -0/+3You know, this show could be absolutely amazing. That is, assuming that they would center around the difficulties of trying to naturalize within the US... Including the real personal aspects of contestant immigrants (such as the reasons they are trying to become citizens of the US)... or even focusing on the real issues in the current immigration debate.
Oh hell, what am I saying. Humanizing a game show it too bloody hard. - HappyScrappy, on 12/02/2007, -1/+4A similar thing happened 3 years ago (also an election year) and somehow the sky didn't fall, we haven't declared Spanish the national language and TV didn't devolve into protoplasm, in fact some good shows debuted since. Stop overreacting, people.
http://www.tolerance.org/news/article_tol.jsp?id=1 ... - inactive, on 12/02/2007, -0/+3united states has culture? thats news to me!
- inactive, on 12/02/2007, -0/+3lets make up american reality shows!
"who wants to buy a president!" - lukasmach, on 12/02/2007, -0/+3Most of these shows are licensed to networks in other countries and thus they air in other countries as well. If all countries are destroyed simultaneously, then in a relative way nothing really changes. It's a sort of reversed "Red Queen" situation.
