Ahh!! My Mind is turning to Mush!! - Reality TV went too far a while ago, but I guess they figure since they are already outside the boundary lines of decency it just doesn't matter what they do.
A proposed television reality show has pushed the boundaries of offence by offering a program in which a thousand men compete for the chance to impregnate a woman by IVF. It is unlikely that the production company, Brighter Pictures, will find a market in the UK; a spokesman for the BBC has already said, "It is absolutely not for the BBC." In its coverage of the intended program, called Make Me A Mum, The Daily Mail has called the idea "sick" and "depraved." The idea has been greeted with public expressions of revulsion from different quarters. At least one British Tory MP has condemned it as "unacceptable."
Sure is nice to see the "revulsion" from several quarters but I can't help but think that all the dislike will likely turn out to be great publicity for finding a market. It's just the nature of things. Sort of a Separation, if you will.
