Real people and "What Would You Do?"

Postby RSnyder » Mon Feb 21, 2011 12:11 am

Rants go here, so here goes. Where in the hell are the real people when they film ABC's "What Would You Do?"??? Do they specifically pick communities full of action-less sheeople? I cannot accept that my fellow citizens could be so docile and so weak as to not do the right thing. It's either an act or the producers pick the lowest human life forms' performances. My wife stopped asking me to watch the show with her - I was standing up and yelling at the TV. I don't even have an anger issue. I just can't get people who can't shit when they're on the pot.

Seriously? We train people from early on not to take action against aggressors. Whenever someone steps in and shoots or pummels some dickhead who deserves it, the "authorities" talk about how they're happy with the outcome, but discourage anyone for taking that sort of action.
