BULLETIN: People don't want to watch dying people on television
Earlier this week, we shared our distaste for CBS's proposed new reality-show featuring terminally ill patients ticking some activity or another off their bucket list. Well, the Washington Post is conducting a little informal poll on the subject, and it seems pretty much everyone agrees - 93% find the show "ghoulish" (only 7% find it uplifting), but about 13% wouldn't mind being on the show if they were, in fact, dying.
(I kid you not: Type "terminally ill thrill-seeking" into Google Images and this is what you get. But then, what idiot types "terminally ill thrill-seeking" into Google Images?)
