The Perils Of Reality Television
« on: February 21, 2012, 11:35:27 PM »
There was a time when third world thugs didn't screw around with Americans. Now they make them virtual prisoners in Egypt awaiting trial for promoting democracy. Oh yeah...and in Uganda they just poison their asses...

Two freelance producers associated with creating challenges for reality TV shows, including The Amazing Race, were reportedly believed to be poisoned in Uganda after dealing with "local thugs."

And one of the TV vets, Jeff Rice, is now dead.

Gee, that's too bad. I certainly don't mean to be cold, but if you go to Uganda, you might end up dead. Reality TV indeed.

"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

Local thugs, local govt.......it wouldn't matter. Go to 3rd world countries searching for reality you'll likely find it.

Welcome to reality world.  Sometimes the real world is a little rougher than just having your contestants have to figure out how to read a sign on the streets of Taipei (I admit to watching episode 1 of Amazing Race last year)

These shows could save a lot of cash if they just went to a mall in Orlando when Nikes are on sale.
