I think this is a great idea. Traveling to the homeless shelter to point and laugh all the time was using up a lot of gas.

I think it is safe to say to that idea, "You're fired."

The not totally jaded part of me hopes this will be one of the many, many ideas from FOX that never sees the light of day.
There's a new show that's about that crass once a season on average, but historically they don't really last that long when they manage to get made at all.

I still love the idea of The Swan where you take normal people and give 'em hella plastic surgery and then force them to compete in a beauty pageant. It don't get more unnecessary than that!

There was one in development years ago that never got made in which divorcing couples would fight over their own junk. That's about the worst that I can think of.
