ISSUES OF COMMON CONCERN
Moral Issues
-
Women are blatantly selling themselves on national TV. Cool! We want to
buy some too!!!
-
The institution of marriage is being misinterpreted. Cool! We all know
that marriage is business and women love money, so why pretend there is
love?!
-
Perhaps the show was educational: if you are going to buy your spouse this
is how it could be done, and here is what you can expect. Yeah, Rick, eat
your heart out!
-
Women in the show were motivated by publicity, exposure reasons rather
than looking to marry a millionaire. Sure. We can't wait to see Darva's
package in Playboy!
-
The show is humiliating for women in that they have to parade in bathing
suits and compete in other ways for a single man. He-he, we like that!!!
You have no brains - then strip off your clothes, cause we like brainless
women!
-
The show did not convey any positive messages to its enormous audience.
Who cares? The audience can tell a thermometer from an iambic pentameter
Economic Issues
-
Advertisers pay for a show, based on their expectations about which market
segments are likely to watch it. Therefore quality is often not an issue
– the idea is to make people watch. Yeah somebody might buy something after
cleaning the vomit from the screen...
-
‘Sex sells’ – the driving force behind the ratings ‘success’ of the show
has to do with sex and its selling power. Cool!!! Fox, give us more! But
why wear bras?
-
The show was seen by significantly more women than men. The reasons behind
that can be found in female psychology and some marriage fixations that
have been accumulated in the process of human evolution. Where are you
feminists? Are women stupid or what?
-
The show in fact was solely created to attract advertisement money and
get high ratings, rather than discuss marriage or anything else. What a
success!!!
Political Issues
-
The politics here have to do with the freedom of broadcasters and the licensing
process in a constitutional democracy. Const@#^&%$ what?
Legal Issues
-
There is a possibility that Fox will sue the ‘millionaire’ for not disclosing
certain facts from his past. Like the size of his nose and his S&M
affairs...
-
It is quite uniform that observers do not argue in favor of the institution
of legal or administrative censorship. Of course, we endorse that. We should
have the first night after the marriage live and uncensored. It's our prost-,
ops, constitutional right.
-
As far as contracts signed by Darva and Rick are concerned – they are perfectly
fine, but can be eliminated by signing subsequent contracts, which happened
in reality. Their marriage was legal, and their divorce will be too. Gee,
it's great to be a lawyer...
-
There is no evidence that Fox knew that the participants of the show were
not going to act as they said they would. Fox thought that the show would
produce happy and rich couples. Therefore it was not possible for them
to disclose that the show is a put-on. Too bad, cause everybody knew it
was....
