WHAT DO LIE DETECTORS AND ROMAN COLISEUMS HAVE IN COMMON?

I thought the "reality" shows had gone pretty far, but now there's one where the people are hooked up to lie detectors and asked questions.
Not questions like "Do you like your job?" or even, "Did you change your underwear?" No, these questions are ones that can change lives---usually for the worse.
I don't watch the show. I think it looks detestable. My has watched it a couple times, and of course, we've seen a LOT of previews. The last preview that was on was of a husband and wife. They've been married for fifteen years. The wife's ex came on while she was hooked up to the lie detector and asked her whether, if he wanted to come back to her, she would take him back.
The wife's answer? Yes, she would take the ex back. The last thing a person sees in the preview is the husband putting his head in his hands.
So---is this what we've come to in this nation, that, as the Romans once crowded into the stadiums
and cheered as they watched people kill each other, we crowd around our t.v. sets and drool over pizza as people tear each other's hearts out?
Please, someone, tell me it's rigged. Tell me it's a fake reality show. It will be insulting, but at least it won't be quite so awful.
It will still concern me that people actually enjoy watching something like that, but at least I would be able to take comfort in knowing it wasn't real.
I've been told there was a show like this one in Colombia, and they had to pull it because after one of the "sessions", a woman had a hit put out on her husband.
Oh---is THAT all it takes to get a show like that off the air?

 Hey cat lady

The Answer is Nothing, there is no difference, its just a sad situation we live in, people just love watching others in their pain and getting their hearts ripped out.

Its sad that we as a world have to stoop so low for entertainment, there are so many different reality programs and they are all based around negativity . . .

I personaly dont watch a lot of TV and wouldnt watch these types of programs even if they were only pretend acting, i prefer to keep my heart pure and dwell on the good and just things of life.
To gain is to lose
