The Moment of Truth

Yikes. Heard about The Moment of Truth, the show where they hook you up to a lie detector and ask you personal questions in front of friends and family? It looks to be a new pinnacle of tacky. Also:

The Fox version is actually quite tame compared with some foreign adaptations. The show's creator, Howard Schultz, who was also the brain behind the plastic surgery edition of “Extreme Makeover,” sold the rights in several countries, including Germany and Britain. The Colombian version was canceled in October after a woman confessed on the show that she had hired someone to kill her husband.
OK, tacky, and maybe scary, but most of us will tune in at least once, even if only for the 'at least I'm not that bad' factor. Best part of the article though, concerning a woman who just heard humiliating things from her husband:
Ty ran to his wife and tried to hug her. Catia submitted to his embrace but turned her cheek away, pursing her lips in a foreboding moue of lip gloss and recrimination.
"Foreboding moue of lip gloss and recrimination" Wow. That's why not just anyone can write for the NYT.
