Will Contestants Get the Shaft?

Ladies and gentlemen, I give to you... Lapdance Island. The only thing I can imagine that would be more uncomfortable than being sexually frustrated is being sexually frustrated on television. I can't imagine who'd actually sign up for this, but the application is pretty funny.

i think all the contestants should be required to wear bike shorts.

Sorry to disappoint. But it looks like this is a hoax.

There was a game show in the UK two years ago called Shafted, which attempted to out-Millionaire Millionaire with a ridiculously high theoretical prize fund.

More than five episodes were made, but only five were ever broadcast. The rest have not seen the light of day, even in the dead of the schedules. It was that bad a show.
