File Under: Why didn't WE think of that....



The website, Ananova, reports today that "Broadcasters in Hong Kong have
been accused of bad taste by planning a gameshow where disabled
contestants compete against able-bodied people.

RTHK says it is seriously considering commissioning the show - called
Count our Blessings.

It has been devised by China Entertainment Television Broadcast chairman
Robert Chua Wah-peng, reports the South China Morning Post.

A team of three players - two of whom must have visual, hearing or
speech impairments - would compete against a team wearing dark glasses,
mouth gags or headphones blasting out loud music."

Makes you wonder how long it will take for the US to glom onto this one.
