How much more dystopian can it get? Hang onto your hat!
The US Department of Homeland Security is reportedly considering an “out-of-the-box” pitch to participate in a television gameshow that would have immigrants compete to obtain US citizenship.
Department spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin described the pitch to the New York Times as a “celebration of being an American” and said the show would include challenges based on American traditions.
In a statement, McLaughlin said: “We need to revive patriotism and civic duty in this country, and we’re happy to review out-of-the-box pitches. This pitch has not received approval or rejection by staff.”
I am going to change my name to Beef Supreme and try to capitalize on this.
Isn't this what 90Day fiancee basically is? Have sex with some disgusting neckless American to gain citizenship?
You know, in the 70s and 80s we had... fantastical, unrealistic schlock movies like... Deathrace 2000, The Running Man... and these were largely veiwed as entertaining, but campy, implausible, 'created for hollywood' world scenarios, designed to just make a high stakes plot...
... based around a high stakes, life and death, reality TV game show ... with nationwide audiences, run by the government, used as a national religion style bread and circuses for the masses, in a totalitarian future US.
So glad I’m moving away from this joke of a nation. Trump has turned everything into a clown show.
Can I pay and/or marry you to take me with you?
Do the losers get shot or just deported to a tropical interment camp?
Think Squid Game.
Squid Game is more fair.
Instead we have Hunger Games and a "Sponsorship" system
Can we get a dictrict-11 style riot? 👀
