Hunger Games IRL

[StaticSkull]

Holy fucking shit! Russia wants to toss people into Siberia and do the fucking hunger games in real life!
The articles says:
In the frequently asked questions section on Facebook, it says the rules of the game could include "fights, alcohol, murder, rape, smoking, anything at all" but contestants must "obey the laws of the Russian Federation".

Here's the article

If anyone joins this, they're insane and deserve to die, because this is fucking horrible

"The winner receives 1.3m pounds"

Well, would be a nice way to be set for life, or at least close to life.

At the cost of probably not wanting to live because of all the trauma.
If I went through scary shit as a baby and was fine, how the fuck would a grown man handle it?

I don't understand either
They better get nuked before they let this shit go down

Thought it was all a hoax, so I decided to read the link.

Turns out it's just a survival gameshow with similar gameplay to the Hunger Games series.

And while you could rape and murder on the show (just like you could in real life), it's still illegal, and you will be punished under Russian law.

So no, it's not the kill-or-be-killed gladiator wars you were expecting.

So then why is it allowed?

It's "allowed" in the same way it's allowed in society, you can do it, but will most likely be punished.

It's no more "allowed" than saying that you're not going to stop someone from committing a serious crime or suicide.

Sure, the people who run the show would love to see that shit. But the laws of the land still apply.

It's the people's choice so it's not the hunger games.

[Spedmallet]

I'd probably watch it

[Tony-DarkGrave]

THAT IS FUCKING AWESOME. the real fucked up thing is you have to pay them TO DO IT. fuck I would do that shit for free if it meant a free pass on brutally murdering someone Game of Thrones Style. rules of the game could include "fights, alcohol, murder, rape, smoking, anything at all" thats metal as hell.

I mean this is Russia after all and those guys are crazy due to generations of alcohol abuse and exposure to the cold. I bet old Vlady would be like: "Dah dah I like this".

You monster...

[Spedmallet]

I just want to watch russians wreck each other

[cuttyflame]

I wish i was Russian.
But First of all, why the fuck are you freaking out if you didn't even read the article.
The goal of the show is just to survive 9 month in the wild. If you do any of these illegal act, they are gonna be arrested and except if the show is live 24/24, they probably gonna cut that part from the show and you won't see it on tv

Producers say that anything goes, although they warn people taking part that they're still subject to the rule of law and can be arrested at any time.
"You must understand that the police will come and take you away. We are on the territory of Russia, and obey the laws of the Russian Federation."

I don't give a shit about the people. I'm talking about the chickens. It's too cold for them. They won't taste good when they're dead. Where is the justice?
