Is it too obvious to say a Hitler-like figure running a country I thought such things couldn’t happen in?
Okay, less political answer: reality shows that go too far with exploiting people. An early season of Big Brother had long lost siblings find out they were siblings on tv. Such moments shoukd be private. There was a reality show where a guy thought he was called for jury duty but it was all fake. I don’t understand how it’s even legal to film a reality show without telling the guy he’s in a reality show. There was a reality show where a woman has to guess who her biological father is. that’s not something we should be making a game of.
The reality show that freaked me out was Solitary. It ran on Fox from 2006-2010. No healthy society would ever allow something like this to exist as a form of entertainment. https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2008/03/voluntary-confinement/
I didn’t know about that one. That’s disturbing
It’s so disturbing. I actually saw part of an episode of it at the time, and I watched, thinking, “they can’t actually mean that, right?” But it seriously is just footage of these people being tortured, with some vaguely sci-fi looking sets. I have no idea how this got approved, and every so often I’m reminded of it, and I think, “god, was that real?” I’m glad that Mother Jones article exists, because otherwise I think people would never believe it.
On the jury one the guy knew he was being filmed the whole time, they just mislead him to believe that the trial was real and the subject of the reality show and that the rest of the jury weren’t actors when in reality he was the only person in the show who was not aware that the whole show was staged to look real
Thanks for the explanation. I haven’t actually watched the show. I have seen a season of the Joe Schmo show, where the guy knows he’s on a reality show but doesn’t know that the rest of the cast are actors
