Fox, Ever the Bastion of Good Taste
Fox, makers of such intellectual fare as The Littlest Groom and When Animals Attack 30, has decided they have a great idea to turn this slow economy into a profitable show:
The network has ordered Someone’s Gotta Go, which will take place in real businesses across America and give employees the power to decide who among them gets fired, Daily Variety reported Wednesday.
“It’s Survivor meets The Office,” Fox reality chief Mike Darnell told Variety.
“When someone is arbitrarily let go the first reaction usually is ‘How come that person was fired when another idiot is still here?’ This finally gives employees a chance to make that decision instead of a boss.”
Yeesh. Cause destroying lives on national television is so.much.fun! Hell in a handbasket, folks. That’s where we are heading.

I sense some boss-firing coming.
i actually made that joke with a co-worker as we discussed this. some managers are in for a rude awakening!
Hey, who doesn’t want to fire the boss?
