    Fox to make reality TV show out of company layoffs

    "NEW YORK (AP) - The Fox network is making a reality show out of the troubled economy. An upcoming series titled, "Someone's Gotta Go," lets employees of a small business decide which one of their colleagues will be laid off.

    Fox says it has no air date yet for the series, which is being developed by the company behind "Big Brother" and "Deal or No Deal." Each week, a different company lays off an employee.

    Fox also wouldn't reveal the show's host, which it says is a business consultant who will offer advice to participating companies."

    I know it's TV but I think it deserves a wider audience, mods if you beg to differ feel free to move.

    Sounds to me like it doesn't deserve any audience.

    Making a tv show out of the nasty things in peoples lives is wrong.

    I'd say whoever gets laid off in the end will get a record deal and have a blues album out within the year. The first single will be the 'No Job Blues!'

    Wasn't there a reality TV show developed where you had a bunch of transplant patients competing to win a badly needed organ transplant? Or did I just make that up...? Christ, I cant tell what's real and what's not any more...
