Soon to come to network TV? A game show where celebrities torture contestants to death in return for, say, a kidney for their ailing daughter...We shouldn't say that too loud. Some network exec might take us seriously.
Now they are recreating the Milgram Experiment as a reality show on TV. The Milgram experiment involved a situation where people were asked to shock others until they complied with orders, and to turn the electricity up higher and higher until the shocks were life-threatenting. Only the people "shocked" were actually confederates of the researcher, and they were not actually being shocked, just pretending that they were. The experiment showed that most people would just blindly follow the orders of an authority figure.
