I guess we can be happy it isn't an American show, regardless where it may be shot. Will be interesting to see if this show, if it is ever completed, will every actually air in Australia. I never thought of Australia as a society that would take to this kind of "reality show".

BTW....what do you doubt?

Well, for the purposes of recruitment propaganda for new Jihadists, I do not think they will make a point to differentiate between America and Australia.

I doubt the whole thing. It sounded like it was written by a high school journalism student. But I'm the type of person who hears something that is hard to beleive and, well, has a hard time believing it. I'm usually right but the only way to know is to wait and see if anyone ever hears anything about this ever again...or not.

I hope you are correct, this sounds just too depraved and degenerate, even by today's standards

It's the same one article being talked about on many different sites though. I'm still going to wait and see. Remember, these days news stories can originate from someones Tweet.

True -- it's "Western 'culture'".

Well that ought to be one thing Americans have in common with them. I believe the majority of Americans will be morally repulsed. I'll cast my vote for morally repulsed right here and now.
