Anybody want to know who's getting kicked off Survivor next?
There's a rumor mill about somone who's leaked the info and so far they've been right.

The information can be found on "aintitcoolnews.com".

1. Isn't this an allegory for Social Darwinism?
Survival of the fittest?

Does the fact that the losers get to go home instead of starve mean the winners are being good compassionate conservatives?

3. It's Pavlovian social conditioning on a mass scale
Edited on Fri Feb-06-04 03:54 PM by cprise
Reward people for picking (and identifying with) the person who can exclude the most.

But every 10 min, you are reminded you have a corporate friend "at McDonalds". So it can't be that anti-social.

People are being conditioned into shafting each other and trusting only corporations.
