The Fox network is making a reality show out of the troubled economy. An upcoming series titled, "Someone's Gotta Go," lets employees of a small business decide which one of their colleagues will be laid off.

Fox says it has no air date yet for the series, which is being developed by the company behind "Big Brother" and "Deal or No Deal." Each week, a different company lays off an employee.

Fox also wouldn't reveal the show's host, which it says is a business consultant who will offer advice to participating companies.

    • I have worked in companys were this would actually be a great idea. This would enable fellow workers to get rid of some of the dead weight. I wouldn't exclude the management from this process either.

      With regards to the Fox reality show part of it, I think it is fair to say it is in bad taste at this point in time. Many people are in an unemployed condition by no fault of their own. Granted, no one has to watch the show but I think it is rather insensitive.

    • So the poster child of bad taste continues onward into the fog. Shame is an easy commodity to sell now it seems. To bad it isn't traded on Wallstreet.
