Could this be the most controversial game show ever?

FOX in the US are promoting their new game show (expect plenty more of them to come thanks to the writer’s strike) called The Moment of Truth which will air early next year.

The idea is the contestants must answer 21 questions about themselves truthfully (thanks to a lie detector) to win up to a maximum of $500,000.

Some of the promos for the show included questions such as:

  • Do fat people secretly repuse you?
  • Do you think you will still be married to your husband in 5 years?
  • At your current job, have you ever touched a female co-worker inappropriately?
  • Do you care about the dying in Africa?
  • Have you ever thought your boyfriend was gay?
  • Do you like your mother in law?
  • Do you ever think you’ll ever truly forgive your husband for his gambling losses?
  • Would you cheat on your partner if you knew you could get away with it?

The show got cancelled in Columbia earlier this year when a woman revealed she hired a hit man to kill her husband (!!!). The show is running in lots of other countries. Who knows, it may even come here.

The reason behind commenting the above statement is because the show has helped in providing justice directly or indirectly to the society,to the innocent and to the decent people who are victim of one’s lies and bad deeds and still leaving their lives happily in the darkness of light.The show has helped people to recognize the bad people and prevented us from geeting in their net.
