Game show contestants turn torturers in a new psychological experiment for French television, zapping a man with electricity until he cries for mercy -- then zapping him again until he seems to drop dead.
"The Game of Death" has all the trappings of a traditional television quiz show, with a roaring crowd and a glamorous and well-known hostess urging the players on under gaudy studio lights.
"We were amazed to find that 81 percent of the participants obeyed" the sadistic orders of the television presenter, said Christophe Nick, the maker of the documentary for the state-owned France 2 channel which airs Wednesday.
Yeah I'm sure the fact that everyone who's ever read anything about psychology knows it's an act has nothing to do with the fact that 81% of people do it for money.
Fun fact: two days ago I had to do a psych paper based partly on the German movie they made based on the Stanford experiment (and also on the movie Kinsey).
oh dangit, beaten by the greatest of posters. Shouldteach me to use preview
also they're apparently making a movie of it starring Channing tatum and Elijah wood. I'd watch the shit out of that
Apparently the BBC did a documentary/experiment called The Experiment based on the Stanford prison study, with more safeguards.
Now take that and give fabulous prizes to the guards for abusing prisoners!
Pretty sure if MTV started casting for a show like this, and set it in one of their real world houses, they would find tons of willing participants and viewers. And it would still be better than 16 and pregnant

I'm calling dibs on being a Stanford guard.

Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.

Effective April 16, Walgreens drugstores across the state won't take any new Medicaid patients, saying that filling their prescriptions is a money-losing proposition — the latest development in an ongoing dispute over Medicaid reimbursement.
The company, which operates 121 stores in the state, will continue filling Medicaid prescriptions for current patients.
