A BRUTAL Russian reality TV show allowing “fighting, murder and rape” will see contestants armed with knives and dumped in the Siberian wilderness to battle bears, wolves and freezing temperatures.

The Hunger Games -style contest will see 30 participants — half of them women — ditched in the wild for a nine-month survival test in temperatures sinking to minus 40C or lower.

Contestants from different countries seeking a £1.3 million ($2.2 million) prize will be issued with knives but not guns and expected to hunt and fish for food to stay alive, The Sun reports.

The shocking rules say: “Everything is allowed. Fighting, alcohol, murder, rape, smoking, anything.”

Hoping sincerely it's a joke/big talk. Sick how people would watch this.

Criminal law applies.

 

[Monkadelic]

Criminal law applies.

So the TV show allows it, but the State doesn't?

 

[SherdogGoat]

Gotta be a hoax. Definitely gonna watch if true.

Murder, rape, fighting?
It doesn't say so anywhere in the "rules", not to mention it being illegal, "even in Sovietoski Russia..."
I call bullshit.

 

[Horse Style]

If this isn't a hoax, these contestants (especially the women) are some of the most desperate people

“Everything is allowed. Fighting, alcohol, murder, rape, smoking, anything.”

Oh shit, alcohol and smoking are allowed? That's where I draw the line.

I don't know that it isn't a hoax, but the rules are quoted in the OP.

Apparently contestants have to pay $132 000 to take part in this. It sounds like they're expecting bored rich people.

Lol. Smoking is pretty crazy!!! How wild.

 

[SherdogGoat]

$2.2 million doesn't mean much for anybody rich enough to fork over $132k just to participate. There's gonna be some psychos just out there to rape and murder and get away with it.

So what can you start with?

Or is this an H1Z1 spawn start ?

Plus do you know how many fucking cameras would need to be set up to mark this watchable.

The "rules" quoted in the OP are from a "not-the-original-source".

Nowhere on the "original-source-site" does it say "murder, rape, fighting".

Google translate is getting better and better every day...

I just read the article, and i love how for no reason what so ever in the middle of the page there is the famous picture of Putin riding a house.

With the caption "Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has been known to ride horses while topless in Siberia".

Misleading title. It's a show about surviving for 9 months in Siberia in a lawless society with only knives.

I'm almost positive someone will be raped

Distinctly possible. With the knowledge that they will be filmed the entire time and accountable for their actions to the Russian police, there might be enough of a deterrent not to rape or kill each other. I don't know enough about Russian criminal culture to know how Russians respect the rule of law. I know that the Russian government and crime lords are often backed by one another, but I don't know how that translates to the average Russian citizen. Why anyone would want to live in that country is beyond me...

In Soviet Siberia, lawless society rapes knife.

I'd be pissed if I could rape but not smoke.





I love a good smoke after I get rapey.
