Today, The Game Show Network released a “poll”:http://www.zogby.com/news/ReadNews.dbm?ID=1341 on prejudice in America to promote their upcoming show, “Without Prejudice”:http://www.gsn.com/withoutprejudice/home.php. We’ll get to the results later, but what does GSN (as they prefer to be called) have to do with all the usual -isms? Well, turns out this is a game designed to put on display our deep-seated prejudices.
Essentially, five contestants reveal facts about themselves, and five panelists decide who stays to compete to win $25,000 and who’s voted off. The sample video online seems to indicate that many of the panelists’ decisions will be based on wildly offensive statements about the contestants’ race, gender, etc.
I hate to be the one who says this in a post about stereotypes, but isn’t $25,000 a rather paltry prize in the game show business these days? Can’t they vote the winner into political office or something?
And on that subject, that “Zogby poll”:http://www.zogby.com/news/ReadNews.dbm?ID=1341 reports that “58% of Americans would elect a gay person for President—about the same as for an Arab-American (57%), and more than for a person over age 70 (51%), or for an atheist (51%).” 58%? Really? Maybe Hillary should consider coming out of the closet and picking up a few points, because “that whole woman thing”:http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2007/07/17/elizabeth-edwards/ doesn’t seem to be working out so well for her.
It is sad to think that even in Modern Times, Hillary’s candidacy could prove that American might not be ready for a Drag King president.
took a look at the sample video——– boring. They need a celeb version. Mel G. and Michael R.
There will be a Jewish lesbian President before there is an atheist President. If there is one thing true-believers mistrust more than someone outside of their own doctrine of religious delusion…it’s someone who has NO religious delusion.
I would prefer an agnostic to either atheist or religious. You rarely have radical or fundamentalist agnostics.
