Re: OT: You Might Be An Idiot If
 

Joe millionare is obviosly fake - the first one maybe not, but the potential for lawsuit combined with the unlikelyhood of finding a bunch of women a) beutiful b) naive and c) who have never heard of the first show.

Re: OT: You Might Be An Idiot If
 

Joe Millionaire sounds interesting. I have never heard about it. I am a male. You think that's an issue?

http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif Well, I can imagine. Some years ago I spend one summer in USA and I was actually amazed of the amount of pure s**t that comes out of your TV (no offence meant).

Here in Finland we have 4 channels that everybody can see and if you want more, you can have cable, satellite or digibox. There's plenty of scheisse in our TV also and I'm afraid it won't get less in times to come.

Re: OT: You Might Be An Idiot If
 

How about the "Joe Schmo Show" It is fake, even the contestants are fake...except one guy. And he doesn't even suspect a thing. Except it is on the "Scheiss" Network....ooops I mean "Spike"

Actually I might be an idiot when on an Air New Zealand flight I wake up and the stewardess hands me something warm and rolled up and I try to eat it. It was a freaking moist towel! Then at Sydney airport I look left and step off the curb and into the path of a tour bus. Yes, Volvo even make quick handling tour buses.

It has become something of a slang word among the oung adults. Also I read german 3 years when I was in the school. I am happy that we don't have Joey Millionaire and I think we could also live without The Bold and the Beautiful and Shopping Channel (Churck Norris selling gymnasium equipment!?).

But this is only my opinion. I am also happy you don't know what kind of magazines we have full of gossip of some 15 minutes celebrities... and how many people actually buy them... I don't know whether to cry or laugh http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

About the only thing I like about the European culture is they are not afraid to publish pictures of nudity. I used to look through Der Speigel when I took German, and found it very eye opening. Too bad we're still so self-righteous (and hypocritical) in the states when it comes to sex and nudity.
