- bitterbug, on 04/08/2009, -0/+75The show will be followed by the hot new series "America's Funniest Workplace Killing Sprees".
- shutaro, on 04/08/2009, -0/+56When are they gonna quit beating around the bush and give us "Ow, My Balls"?!?
- g33kfu, on 04/08/2009, -0/+36Just make "The Running Man" and get it over with...
- ffhc2000, on 04/08/2009, -0/+35Isn't this like one of those make-believe reality show ideas that people always come up with for Fox? This network has become a self-parody.
Competing for health insurance and organ transplants can't be far behind. - Demener, on 04/08/2009, -0/+25Gotta love the Onion....
Oh sorry reality is the joke this time, my bad. - DangerCollie, on 04/08/2009, -3/+24Just when you think Fox can't stoop any lower, they find a way to dig down to new lows. Making sport of people losing their jobs. Callous, cynical and pathetic.

- bobburn1, on 04/08/2009, -0/+17***** this, I will most definitely be avoiding this. That is someone's livelihood being taken away and they're packaging it as "entertainment." ***** Fox and ***** whoever came up with this idea.
- Frostek, on 04/08/2009, -0/+13"Climbing for Dollars" can't be too far away now...
- latrosicarius, on 04/08/2009, -0/+12This is a dumb way for a company to lay off workers. All the ***** employees are going to gang up on the superstar employee, and then once he's gone, they don't look so bad.
- divinediva, on 04/08/2009, -0/+10They've conquered the world of reality television.
- Haoie, on 04/08/2009, -0/+8Almost as tasteless as 'The Will'.
Cancelled after 1 episode [although it was later screened in other countries]. - blackinthmiddle, on 04/08/2009, -0/+7FTA:
"The employees will have access to the company's internal information -- budgets, HR files, salaries, etc. -- to help make their decision. "
Seems like a lawsuit to me. I'm sure all employees will have to sign some kind of disclaimer before the show will film. However, this just reeks of a "mental anguish" lawsuit. - smashblu, on 04/08/2009, -0/+7Not to mention the movie "Ass"
- CreativeLinks, on 04/08/2009, -0/+6"The employees will have access to the company's internal information -- budgets, HR files, salaries, etc. -- to help make their decision. "
Not sure, but that doesn't sound quite legal, that another employee could see your reviews, personal information, health records, etc. - Elsewhere42, on 04/08/2009, -0/+6That's ***** up.
- missjb, on 04/08/2009, -1/+7fox just lowers the bar plain and simple
- Alli3388, on 04/08/2009, -0/+6Anyone see the related article there about the new show "More to Love"? Like the Bachelor, but everyone will be "real"... aka FAT. This is, apparently, to counteract the fact the current reality dating shows have really attractive people who are thin. Question: what is wrong with just using normal people? Like, size 8 or 10 or 12?? Why does it always have to be an extreme?
- seanstuart, on 04/08/2009, -0/+6Hehe. Good call on the future of reality shows.
"Next on Real Transplant - will Sally blow a hobo for a new kidney to beat Alan's stunt last week of eating his grandfather's feces? Stay tuned ... to Fox!" - BubonicLouie, on 04/08/2009, -0/+5I'd buy that for a dollar!
- raybury, on 04/08/2009, -0/+5Um, the correct choice is the manager who decides to implement this strategy, since he lacks the decisiveness to let someone go when he needs to, proving that he is the deadwood, and probably deserved to lose his job regardless of the economy.
- RumpleForeskin3, on 04/08/2009, -0/+5Hello, this is Killian. Give me the Justice Department, Entertainment Division.
- Rudegar, on 04/08/2009, -0/+5the show was invented by the same dutch tvchannel who invented big brother
and fox seem to have bought the concept
fewer and fewer young people watch much tv as they spend it in front of the computer
so all thats left is people who are too thick to use a computer and people who are too old
to learn
both watch fox news and the thick ones want more and more extreme reality tv shows
it's the death struggle of a media which is dieing in it's current form it will get a lot
worse before it gets better - boozinf, on 04/08/2009, -0/+4Hans Moleman and FOX productions present... Man Getting By Football.
- Eriksrocks, on 04/08/2009, -1/+5"Fox's Gotta Go"
- Ouze, on 04/08/2009, -0/+4As a ***** employee, I'd like to thank you for this awesome idea. Now, I'm off to send my boss a memo about that jerk "hogging all the overtime".
- chuckDontSurf, on 04/08/2009, -0/+4That's like declaring yourself 'King of the Cesspool.'
- billessig, on 04/08/2009, -0/+3Reality TV is ***** up.
EDIT: Oh, it's on Fox. Fox is ***** up too. - Elrod, on 04/09/2009, -0/+3Yes, and we could do it every 2 years. Get everyone in the country to join in. Our representatives and senators could explain why they should be chosen to stay for another 2 years. Give every one of them 15 minutes, say, to explain their views and why they should be chosen over their opponent. Then ordinary people could go to public places and select who stays and who goes by secret ballot. The results could be published on the TV that night.
That would be a GREAT show.
Wait a minute... - terrachronos, on 04/08/2009, -1/+4Just like them to make fun of peoples misery and misfortune and try and profit off of it. Typical Fox.
- Ouze, on 04/08/2009, -0/+3Well played, sir.
- tgc1, on 04/08/2009, -0/+2Any time now...
- RandomSkratch, on 04/09/2009, -0/+2Nuts to the 20 employees or less rule... First stop should be at Fox headquarters.
- MoneyShot, on 04/09/2009, -0/+2That's been on the air for close to 20 years already. You mean you've never seen "Americas Funniest Home Videos?"
- inactive, on 04/08/2009, -0/+2It wouldnt work at the post office....... There everyone may be packin
- madeingermany, on 04/08/2009, -0/+2I think they ran out of ideas a long time ago.
Another show where the contestants vote each other out? Yawn.
Reality TV sucks even in comparison to reality. - inactive, on 04/08/2009, -0/+2"They wouldn't make it if you didn't watch it."
If that was true, there would be no such thing as the advertising industry. - mastern, on 04/08/2009, -0/+2So when this show bombs, which it will, will Fox's series finale be about the people who came up with this show? I guess you really can't though, cause they'll all get fired.
- Windfish, on 04/08/2009, -0/+2I think this will make an awesome programme, and the sacked person has the comfort of having had their fifteen minutes of fame, hell, they could even add "Experience in being on TV " to their CV. Or, all the sacked people from a series could group together and film a new series of "The Office", and put it on Youtube or something, it would be hilarious.
- Super6, on 04/08/2009, -0/+2Though televising it is rough, a vote is an interesting way to handle layoffs, or give people the option of taking a 1/20th paycut instead or something.
- sinurgy, on 04/08/2009, -0/+1Who actually thought they couldn't stoop lower?!
- chuckDontSurf, on 04/08/2009, -0/+1What was the one from Time Bandits? "Your Money or Your Life?"
- CoD4, on 04/08/2009, -0/+1Is it a liver???
- AmazingSteve, on 04/08/2009, -0/+1WHEN Palin is President. Thanks man, that's the funniest thing I've read all day.
- Yens717, on 04/09/2009, -0/+1If my company ever did this, I wouldn't play along. I would quit within minutes, then sue.
- botchedabortion, on 04/08/2009, -1/+2This is good news for the popular lazy people.
- tgc1, on 04/08/2009, -1/+2"When employees go bad... next on Fox"
- Thrunq, on 04/08/2009, -0/+1I LIVE TO SEE YOU MAKE THAT COMMENT, BUT I HOPE YOU LEAVE ENOUGH ROOM FOR MY REPLY BECAUSE I'M GOING TO RAM IT INTO THIS COMMENT BOX AND BREAK YOUR GOD-DAMN JOKE!
*destroys camera* - blackinthmiddle, on 04/08/2009, -0/+1"Oh, last season's winners."
"You mean last seasons LOSERS!" -
