Reality
Shows have become the rage
They fill
almost the complete TV listing page
But if you
tire of scenes of eating snakes or otherwise in a jungle trying to survive
Here is an
idea that will the ratings completely eat alive
How about “Hypocrite
Games” where reality and statements meet
If revealed
as a hypocrite does the speaker flame down in defeat?
The first
episode would be a guess as to which social aliment will be our doom?
With three persons
facing the contestants in the room
Each person
has a bio about what he does but not what he earns
The
statement is then read and the author the contestants must discern
“The
moral crisis of our age has nothing to do with gay marriage or abortion; it’s
insider trading, obscene CEO pay, wage theft from ordinary workers, Wall
Street’s continued gambling addiction, corporate payoffs to friendly
politicians, and the billionaire takeover of our democracy,"
If you guess
the tiny Robert Reich at 240k for one class you would win
Reich is a
classic example of the hypocrisy spin
No wonder
students in college leave with such great debt
Having to
pay for lectures one would soon forget
Reich
believes there is little relation to what a CEOs worth and what they are paid
Applying the
same test to Reich I bet he would receive a failing grade
But give him
credit for learning from his mentors well
Clintons get
more in one speech no wonder hypocrisy sells
