Torture Game Show In France
Right about now, a show in France is airing called Zone Xtreme. It is a fake game show but the contestants who participated had no idea the man who was the "victim" was actually an actor. The basic premise of the show was that contestants were told to deliver electric shocks to the victim for every wrong answer he gave to questions. The more he gave the wrong answer, the more electric shock was to be delivered. The maximum charge was 420 volts which is enough to kill someone. The participants didn't seem to care and 81 percent gave the man that charge. Or at least they thought they were. The show was actually part of an experiment to see if people could be talked into killing someone. Apparently if you are on television and being urged on by the host and a studio audience you will be.
