Moment Of Truth - Would You Do It?

[PinkPanther21]

OK, so there's this TV show Moment Of Truth where they do interviews with people to dig up the most harmful questions they can ask people - and invite their wives, parents, friends, co-workers on etc, while they ask them these questions.

So my question is - would you do that show?

Me - no. Sure you could win some money, but it might not be that much fun to spend it if you had messed up every important relationship in your life - assuming that you were honest enough in the pre-show interview to give them real dirt on you.

 

[mongo18]

The whole concept seems pretty stupid to me, and I think anyone stupid enough to go on it should be prepared to lose everything.

 

[BrooksAct]

Yeah, everyone who knows me knows I'm an asshole.

No one would be suprised.

 

[satanic_boy69]

I wouldn't do it because the show is set up for entrapment. Why screw yourself over when you know they're eventually going to find a question thats going to embarrass you?

Of course, I have nothing against anyone who wants to be on the show.

 

[juballs]

the ironic thing is this is what passes as entertainment these days. almost like fox grows with each live it destroys. temptation island, paradise hotel, this show, fox just knows what people are willing to do for money and has no problem helping them destroy their lives.... pretty sick if you ask me

 

[Facetious]

.. pretty sick if you ask me

:yesyes: :hatsoff:

The mockery of virtues . . . at the hand of the dollar.

A damn near worthless dollar at that.

Answer - NO !

 

[Will E Worm]

After watching the show tonight........:eek:

Money isn't everything. That guy might just lose his wife after all he revealed.

It's better to be honest, but not just because you're on a game show.

I agree 100%. It's sick how society is collectively entertained by such futile concepts as the ones shown on the aforementioned shows. Instead of being entertained by something that they would benefit from (i.e. History, Discovery, National Geographic channels), people choose to waste their time on such morbid and trivial bullshit as reality tv. I think the plug on reality tv should have been pulled a very long time ago, unfortunately I know that tv networks make too much money off it to cancel reality tv.

What bothers me more is the fact that the people who appear on the show are greedy enough to risk losing friends, relationships, pride, and respect just to make a few thousand dollars. Sure, the money is nice, but when it runs out they're left all alone, wishing they hadn't gone on the show to begin with.

I wouldn't go on the show. It's not because I have something to hide, given the fact that the people who know me know that I like to be honest with them; I wouldn't go on it because I have integrity that I'm not going to put into question for what in the end is really pocket change.

I think the show is sheer, heartless exploitation.

But here's the rub: I would love to be on it.

I am the biggest goddamn open book there could ever be. My fiancee Becks, already knows about every girl I have ever ***** with, every fantasy I have, which of my friends I would bang if given the chance, who has toyed with my ass, every gory detail. And also, I have never cheated on her. I tell her every time I flirt with someone or they flirt with me. Even my parents know how many people I've ***** with. I just don't fucking keep secrets from those I love. It's not easy always to live like this, always volunteering uncomfortable information to people I love, but that is the path I've chosen. And I think that makes me perfect for the show. They would have to make up stuff about me to get me. Which they might do...

 

[BNF]

"Well, *%&+*, we couldn't find anything really about you. So, all of your friends and ****** will be relieved or disappointed. Except.... isn't it you who is a Moderator, no, Super Moderator at one of the largest, most active, most full of one hand typers porn board on the internet?"


"Um, err, hold on before I answer that, I have to check my email there's a reported post from.... my Moderateurs sans Frontiers boards."

 

[calpoon]

yeah, I haven't really done a lot of messed up or hurtful things, and all the stupid things that I've done, I'm not embarassed about.

they probably wouldn't want to have me on there because it wouldn't hurt anyone. But if I had the chance, I wouldn't have a problem being on there. Most of the people that are on there are really stupid, and they get all bent out of shape over things that really don't matter. utlimately, life is full of petty screw-ups, public and private, and if your relationships (and especially long term) can't get through just scrutiny , not even real crisis, then they obviously aren't very secure in the first place.

Q: sir, have you ever thought about cheating on your wife?
A: yes
Wife: OMG, I can't believe he said that!
Audience and everyone at home: So what? who hasn't?

the one real concern is the work related things, because I can see people losing there jobs over that. But hey, if you win enough money then it will be worth it. I don't really see it effecting your future. it's not like some company is going to say, "hey isn't this that jerk that was on the game show a few years ago? Let's not hire him!" ****, I don't even remember who was on there last week.

 

[wigster]

I wouldn't do a show like that

When I read this - this joke sprung to mind

Joke radio quiz
===========

This got the whole of Sydney laughing. Read it and you'll see why!

Just imagine sitting in traffic on your way to work and hearing this. Many
Sydney folks DID hear this on the FOX FM morning show in Sydney.

The DJs play a game where they award winners great prizes. The game is
called "Mate Match". The DJs call someone at work and ask if they are
married or seriously involved with someone. If the contestant
answers"yes",he or she is then asked 3 random yet highly personal questions.

The person is also asked to divulge the name of their partner with (phone
number) for verification. If their partner answers those same three
questions correctly, they both win the prize.

One particular game, however, several months ago made the Harbour City drop
to its knees with laughter.

Anyway, here's how it all went down:


DJ: "Hey! This is Ed on FOX-FM. Have you ever heard of 'Mate Match'?"

Contestant: (laughing) "Yes, I have."

DJ: "Great! Then you know we're giving away a trip to the Gold Coast if you
win. What is your name? First only please."

Contestant: "Brian."

DJ: "Brian, are you married or what?"

Brian: (laughing nervously) "Yes, I am married."

DJ: "Thank you. Now, what is your wife's name? First only please."

Brian: "Sara."

DJ: "Is Sara at work, Brian?"

Brian: (laughing) "Yes, she's at work."

DJ: "Okay, first question - when was the last time you had sex?"

Brian: "About 8 o'clock this morning."

DJ: "Question #2 - How long did it last?"

Brian: "About 10 minutes."

DJ: "Wow! You really want that trip, huh? No one would ever have said that
if a trip wasn't at stake."

Brian: "Yeah, that trip sure would be nice."

DJ: "Okay. Final question. Where did you have sex at 8 o'clock this morning?

Brian: "On the kitchen table."

Okay folks, I will put Brian on hold, get his wife's work number and call
her up.

DJ: "Okay audience; let's call Sarah, shall we?" (Touch
tones.....ringing....)

Clerk: "Kinkos."

DJ: "Hey, is Sarah around there somewhere?"

Clerk: "This is she."

DJ: "Sarah, this is Ed with FOX-FM. We are live on the air right now and
I've been talking with Brian for a couple of hours now."

Sarah: (laughing) "A couple of hours?"

DJ: "Well, a while now. He is on the line with us. Brian knows not to give
any\answers away or you'll lose. Sooooooo... do you know the rules of 'Mate
Match'?"

Sarah: "No."

DJ: "Good!"

Brian: (laughing)

Sarah: (laughing) "Brian, what the hell are you up to?"

Brian: (laughing) "Just answer his questions honestly, okay? Be completely
honest."

DJ: "Yeah yeah yeah. Sure. Now, I will ask you 3 questions, Sarah. If your
answers match Brian's answers, then the both of you will be off tothe Gold
Coast for 5 days on us.

Sarah: (laughing) "Yes."

DJ: "Alright. When did you last have sex, Sarah?"

Sarah: "Oh God, Brian....uh, this morning before Brian went to work."

DJ: "What time?"

Sarah: "Around 8 this morning."

DJ: "Very good. Next question. How long did it last?"

Sarah: "12, 15 minutes maybe."

DJ: "Hmmmm. That's close enough. I am sure she is trying to protect is
manhood. We've got one last question, Sarah. You are one question away from
a trip to the Gold Coast. Are you ready?"

Sarah: (laughing) "Yes."

DJ: "Where did you have it?"

Sarah: "OH MY GOD, BRIAN!! You didn't tell them that did you?"

Brian: "Just tell him, honey."

DJ: "What is bothering you so much, Sarah?"

Sarah: "Well..."

DJ: Come on Sarah.....where did you have it?

Sarah: "Up the arse....."



They had to call an ambulance for the DJ he thought he was going to have a
heart ****** , he could not stop laughing. Apparently there was an unusually
high call out of the Sydney Police just after this conversation , for *****
traffic collisions.

Not a Chance in hell...

When I read this - this joke sprung to mind

That's a good one, it got me. I didn't see that coming.

that question and answer is an infamous one in america when it was featured on the Newled Game show in the 1970's.

 

[poggy]

I wouldn't do any reality TV like a person with no brain does. Answer me this question, name one person who's done one of these that has actually bettered their life personally?

You have thing called a personal life. That means you have things you don't want certain people or anybody to know. After appearing on these types of show you no longer do. So name me one way that is good?

 

[member006]

Greed is the worst thing that humans carry around in baggage I think. I can picture everyone sitting around the kitchen table making deals that no matter what is said they will forgive and forget for 'the money'. Its going to wear thin and the result will be bad, I guarantee you that.

The show is only going to lead to someones death/******. I can't remember what show it was or any details but some guy ****** someone once over something said on a tv show that was less damaging than whats been said/done on this show. I just don't get people. What makes people tick? I would never leave my home knowing I might hurt my husband, ******, ****** or anyone I know or love. No matter what the money. The shows writers and producers are 'baiters' and if anything does happen the legal responsibility aside, I feel 'morally' they are at fault.

well the one I remember was from the Jenny Jones show where people on there revealed thier secret crushes. A male participant surprised another male co-worker that he had a crush on him. I believe that the co-worker knew that he was going on the show because someone had a crush on him, but didn't know who it was. later on the co-worker ******** the man who was attracted to him, presumibly because of the show.

 

[slowhand]

My self I would not do it Its not all about the money to me but others would do it and they should really think about going on a show like this because they could hurt others around them and I think that is not worth the money to me.

 

[Jagger69]

Stupid show that makes a feeble attempt at contrived controversy. No fucking way.
