Women's group attacks reality show
Quote:
American TV's latest reality sensation Joe Millionaire has been condemned by one of the country's leading women's organisations for "trivialising love and marriage".
In Fox Television's creation, Evan Marriott is portrayed as a bachelor who has recently inherited $50m (£31m) and is looking for true love.
In reality Evan, aka Joe Millionaire, is a $19,000-a-year construction worker.
None of the women are aware of Evan's pauper-like status and truly believe that by capturing his heart they are guaranteed a fairytale life of luxury.
Robert Knight of Concerned Women for America told BBC News Online the show was "turning the viewer into a modern day Caesar giving the thumbs down to contestants".
He said: "The take-home message from this show is that it's okay to lie, to cheat and to mislead as long as its entertaining and we can make a lot of money out of it."
What do you reckon about this?
Personally, I don't feel sorry for the deception of women who are only going for this guy because they believe he's a millionaire hunk. If they're that shallow that the money is all important, they deserve all they get in my opinion.
