Reality TV Hits New Low on FOX
Reality TV has sunk to a new low with the premiere of Who's Your Daddy?
The show is a mid-season show that will premier on FOX in January. The goal is for an adult adoptee to pick out the "correct" father from a choice of 8 possible pops.
Some adoptee rights groups feel that this is harmful to adult adoptees., as they have enough emotional hurdles to overcome.
I can see how FOX might have found contestants, as most adoptees (at least the ones I have spoken with about this) maintain that they would desperatly love to get a chance to meet their birthparents.
If the contestant picks the wrong dad are they still told who their real father is? It would seem the decent thing to do, otherwise you're just dangling false hope in front of an already scarred person.

I'm waiting for the ultimate reality TV program - Gladiatorial arenas with Lions, Tigers, Christians and fights to the death. Hardly original, but I'm sure it'll pull in the punters. I guess the appeal is the notion that we are all gratified by the mantra 'you're dead, I'm not, you're dead, I'm not' etc. I blame the illusion of democracy and the blasphemy of the 'Free Market Mechanism'
