What would you do for $1,000,000?

Sign in to disble this ad
I heard this on a podcast the other day and thought it might make an interesting thread.

Basically the premise is that NBC is going to have a show called "What would you do for $1,000,000?" and if you get selected to be on the show and you do your thing, you get $1,000,000. The catch is that anyone can submit what they will do for $1,000,000 and only the most sensational / TV worthy will make it on to the show. Effectively, you have to submit your what you would do as a bid. Obviously if you bid to high (ie chop of your todger) then it might not be worth the million. On the other hand, if you bid too low (post a new thread on TB) you won't get on the show.

THe only rules are:

1. You would have to go through with whatever you bid;

2. You don't get the money if you die or kill someone else.

So, what would you do for $1,000,000?

Its tax free / net of tax.

A couple of suggestions at lunchtime:

- Have sex with your father (I have strange colleagues)

- Have all your body hair (inc head, eyebrows etc) shaved off and remain that way for 6 months

- Chop off your own little finger

- Chop off an ear

- Not speak for a year.

the key here is finding something that tv execs will find worthy of putting on primetime....i think trying to find a way to involve celebrities is a good route...

maybe have lady gaga rub her crotch in one's face. i dunno, i'll think about it


edits:
-spar chuck norris, or maybe jet li

You do understand the concept of hypothetical, don't you?

I'd liquidate my assets, make smart investment moves, and stop buying gear.

Unfortunately, nothing exciting enough to put on TV. I wouldn't lose a finger or bang my dad, that's for sure.

My friends and I played a similar hypothetical game after Anna Nicole Smith married that old guy who was (at the time, anyway) worth $585 million. We just called the discussion "585". The worst was the singer for our band, who claimed he would fellate his grandfather in a public place on national television and tattoo "**** sucker" on his forehead afterwards.

No >9000 $ for you then.

What would I do.....

Have sex with a top fuel dragster's exhaust while it was running.

Just the first thing that sprung into my mind.

Considering the amount of people who would certainly pay 10$ to see that, you're onto something.
