So You Think You Can Dance? With No Panties...Oops!


You really have to wonder why you would go on a television show without any panties on. You have to wonder about this even more when it is a dancing reality TV show. Yet, this is what happened. And this is the video to prove it.

The show might be a reality TV show, but it is not live to air. So, you have also got to be wondering how this little piece of footage made it through the editing process. It would not have been all that surprising if the choice footage was edited out, and then mysteriously found its way on to YouTube or LiveLeak or something. I found it on The Huffington Post.

Looks like Fox could be in for some pretty nasty fines. I am guessing that the Federal Communications Commission, or the FCC, might be taking a closer look at the footage. And, when they do there is likely to be some sizable fine discussed. Now if Janet Jackson's nipple cost USD 550K, then I am guessing a full view crotch shot has gotta cost a little more than that.

I wonder how old she is? Are there child porn issues here? The mind boggles.

However, Fox has issued a statement saying that the young lady is, in fact, wearing panties and the video and accompanying photos show a crease in her panties...Ah, good try Fox.

The Moment of Truth

This is a game show but it is like really perversely funny reality tv. The prize of USD 500,000 for negotiating 21 questions that require you to answer yes or no seems a simple enough premise. Nevertheless, the questions are pearlers and having watched just one episode of the show I am already wondering why anyone would volunteer for this level of scrutiny and embarrassment.

The show aired for the first time on cable tv here in Indonesia earlier tonight (well at least the first time I have seen it here) and having done a little research it seems that it premiered earlier this year in the US. The Fox Network has apparently ordered 23 episodes of the program.

The closer you get to the top prize the more interesting the questions become. Some of the classics include, "since you have been married have you ever had sexual relations with anyone other than your husband?" It is like who in the world would want to answer this question on national or international tv for 500K. I guess if you tell the truth you will have 500K to help in finalizing a divorce!

The only way I can see this working to a contestant's advantage is if they confess all their skeletons in the closet and then go on the show. I am assuming here that everyone has at least one skeleton in their closet. These skeletons might be stealing 10 dollars out of your mother's purse or having a daydreaming a sexual fantasy while sitting in church or the mosque during a particularly uninspiring sermon. Yet, all the same and for these sorts of reasons it is not a show that I would ever find myself volunteering to be on.

I will watch the show again because it has that slowing down as you drive past an accident appeal. To my mind it is just crazy that people would want to do this even where there is 500K on offer.
