Talk about poor taste. Fox is reportedly* launching a reality TV show called Someone's Gotta Go, in which employees of a small business decide which of their colleagues will be laid off.

I guess Schadenfreude gets ratings.

Fox execs reportedly went with the show after selecting from a number of pitches, including Someone's Gotta Get Advanced Pancreatic Cancer and Someone's Puppy Has Gotta Die.

*This was reported by the AP, but I won't link to their content because of this BS.

Digg!
