If I thought I was disgusted by the previews for that new lie-detector/ruin-your-marriage game show "The Moment of Truth," imagine how I felt when I read the following on westernmass.craigslist.org:

Are you ready to win up to $500,000 by telling the whole truth and nothing but the truth? "The Moment of Truth" will put participants to the test -- the lie detector test -- to reveal whether or not they are telling the truth for a chance to win half a million dollars. The challenge is simple -- answer 21 increasingly personal questions honestly, as determined by a polygraph, and win up to $500,000. This is the only game show where participants know both the questions and the answers before they begin to play. Prior to playing, participants are strapped to a lie detector and asked a series of questions by a polygraph expert, who records their answers. At any time, between the polygraph and the televised game, participants can change their answers or walk away from the competition. To win $500,000 participants have to tell the truth. Of course, the questions are easier when the stakes are low - but as the prize amount increases, they will be challenged to fess up to matters they might normally lie about. The touchier questions could be especially revealing because participants reveal their answers in front of spouses, relatives and friends, hanging on every word. Female or Male - All Ethnicities - 18 & Over CONTESTANTS.

Please note that the participants KNOW THE QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS *before* spilling their guts on TV.

Gross.

Gross-me-out headline of the day: "Bed Discovered in Polygamist Temple."

There's a sick joke in this about the Joy of Sects, but I sure ain't gonna go there. No, sir.

And *why* has it taken the authorities so long to act? I read about the FLDS sect and their doings in Glamour magazine a year ago. It was a first-person article by a woman who'd been raised in the compound. That wasn't enough for a search warrant? Or do we just leave well enough alone when 15-year olds are forced into marriage with men 40 years older than them, until said 15-year olds complain about it? Hmmm?
