We were discussing this at work yesterday morning and most people seemed to be agreed that it was a bit subversive and probably in questionable taste but it acheived its aim. However we felt that it opened the door to further examples of shock programming in pursuit of intractable problems. I do not think that it is now too far fetched to conceive of a similar programme aimed at changing the law on assisted suicide where terminally ill contestants compete for our sympathy and the opportunity of a trip to a clinic in Switzerland. It strikes me as the thin end of a very thick wedge.
