David Kronke was appointed Mayor of Television after a bloodless coup in 2000. Since then, he has improved infrastructure, championed greater educational opportunities and fought for reforms that have utterly erased corruption and incompetence from the television industry. Since Mr. Kronke has ascended to power, Television is a far better place. Honesty: Not always the best policy?
They’re calling it the End of Western Civilization (unaware that Western “Civilization” called it quits long ago), and you can be part of it!
Well, sort of. You can subject yourself to the embarrassments forthcoming on “The Moment of Truth,” Fox’s upcoming reality-game show in which contestants are strapped to a lie-detector gizmo and asked really humiliating questions while family and friends watch. A “Truth Booth” will be tooling around town Friday through Monday.
You can check it out Friday 9 a.m.-4 p.m. and Saturday noon-6 p.m. at Hollywood and Highland, and Sunday and Monday 11 a.m.-5 p.m. on the Third Street Prominade between Banana Republic and Barnes & Noble.
On an episode of the Colombian version of the show, a woman admitted she had hired a hit man to off her husband (the show was thereupon yanked from the air): What kind of question provoked that?
Maybe they’ll ask it of you when you enter the “Truth Booth.”
