    I'm still trying to wake up, so forgive me if I should know what this is about, but... what the hell is this?

    It's some sort of game show where people are strapped into a lie detector and asked questions like, "Do fat people repulse you?" and "If your wife wouldn't find out, would you cheat on her?", all the while being asked by a fat person, or with the wife sitting by waiting for the answer, respectively.

    I won't watch it, but I am totally training to beat the lie detector test, get on the show, and rip them off their money while looking like a saint.

    I was actually just reading about Matt Damon and he’s like, ‘There’s a culture of outrage.’ I’m like, ‘Well, they have a reason to be outraged.’ I think it’s a lot of dudes just being scared. They’re like, ‘What if I did something and I didn’t realize it?’ I’m like, ‘Deal with it.’

    When I saw this thread title I actually thought it was about those commercials where the guy with the white Santa beard talks about how for a $1.00 a day you can feed a starving child. Instead its about some crappy FOX game show. Heh.

    There are already proven ways to do it.

    Primary reason I'm dropping it: In the last three or four months, I've only watched two hours of television. Both were Conan. On the local NBC affiliate.

    I would seriously doubt the accuracy of a lie detector strapped to someone who stands to make a lot of money being filmed on national television.

    I wonder how long the contestants are instructed to stall after hearing the question, for dramatic effect.

    Who needs stalling? Just use clever editing!
