New Spike TV Show "1000 Ways to Die" May Stir Up Huge Controversy with Death Topics
"1000 Ways to Die" Premieres on Spike TV at 11:00 PM
"1000 Ways to Die" is a show about what the real effects on the body are when one is killed in a variety of gruesome and variable ways. Some of the ways to die featured on this new Spike TV television show will be a lesbian electrocution, a mechanic cut in half by a semi truck, and even the effects of a deadly rattlesnake encounter. "1000 Ways to Die" will feature forensic scientists, as well as other experts to relate what the science of dying would be like for each of these horrific deaths.
Spike TV has always been a channel to push the envelope so "1000 Ways to Die" is nothing new. While controversial, the show will rise or fall largely on how they handle the delivery of this sordid subject matter. If history is any indication, Spike TV will push the envelope.
"1000 Ways to Die" could be a huge hit among the morbid crowd. If they make the show interesting and scientific rather than exploitative drivel, it could be a sleeper hit. When your feature commercial for a show is labeled as "Lesbocution" however, you should not expect to be taken seriously. "1000 Ways to Die" seems destined to go down the road of exploitation television. This will certainly be well received among that crowd, but it is sure to draw the ire of virtually every censor on the market.
Oddly, the show "1000 Ways to Die" could possibly end up being no different than the long line of "CSI" and "Law and Order" type shows that are all over the place. While these more streamlined shows are packaged under the umbrella of crime, they do many of the same things that "1000 Ways to Die" purports itself to do. To show death and dying through CGI effects, and explore what it may be like. If "1000 Ways to Die" is filled with enough actual facts, and less gore, then the show may end up being one of the sleeper hits among the huge crowd that loves the genre. Only time will tell.

do you not know basic math? a bullet "falling" reaches a terminal velocity of about 200-230mph that's around 300-350fps. That's the speed of a paintball gun!
I have no issue with your freedom to choose what you watch, but this evil should not be on regular cable during the daytime. God forbid our children watch it. I used to doubt when people referred to this time as "culture of death". More and more I am starting to believe it.
Man people have to relax! Why should things be band, because you do not like them? Who are you? Who are you to tell me or anyone what to watch? Its simple. If you do not like it turn the TV to something differant. I know that means that some people may have to get up off their fat butts but it will do them some good.
