Has anyone else seen the Game Show Network show, Without Prejudice? It's a bit hard to explain, but basically a panel of people decides which of several contestants gets $25,000 solely based on who they are. The first contestant is voted off based only on their five-second introduction and the rest are voted off based on answers to various questions.
I'm not sure whether it's a facinating look at sociological and psychological functions of prejudice and the concept of who deserves what or a good case study in poor reasoning and basic cable sensationalism. Probably some of both.
