it's fake my dudes, who in the right mind would think this is true? lol
whatexactlyisthefunctionofarubberduck
If this is true Suzanne Collins must be horrified. This is horrific
Megarith
I wouldn't allow rape, but murder.
IEatAllTheFluffyAnimals
They literally just made it seem like it COULD happen. Sounds just as likely of happening here as it does on Survivor. Just marketing hype.
ChrisLucas1
So who would be stupid enough to kill another contestant on camera, knowing they'd be arrested when it finished.
Chewy88
"anything goes, including rape and murder, but if they do it they will be arrested"... caught in camera, that's an improvement on real life
Compendyum
Not really The Hunger Games. More like The Condemned.
MessageMisadventures
I know this is fucked up... But I am still probably going to watch the shit out of it.
evildrcatfish
Turns out the BBC article, and siberiantimes article it's based on, are both just bad inaccurate reporting. Whee snopes.
CondescendingCunt
Shitty journalism at the hands of the BBC, you say..? I'm *soooo* surprised.
FutureHylian
I had a feeling. Looks to just be another "surviving the wild" esque reality show.
MidnightSnack
Whiskeywinewheywhale
Step aside hunger games, heres Battle Royale
ibelieveicanwalk
If you actually read the story it says the policy will arrest them if they comit a crime
ThatGuyWhoThinksEveryoneIsAPineapple
No, this is wrong. I mean, they can't do that! Can they? This just feels wrong, why are they being allowed to do this?
PartyMagician
They can talk about it, which is pretty much all they're doing
COOL69GUY420ZONE
How to survive in Siberia: Leave Siberia.
phenompy
Feels like propaganda
BaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaBATMAN
The story originated on a fake news story, and is based on the contracts they had to sign saying producers were not responsible for anything
phenompy
as expected
BaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaBATMAN
Fake news site*. If they break the law, they will be arrested.
Trassation
Tastes like propaganda
whatexactlyisthefunctionofarubberduck
what sort of propaganda? Propaganda for what?
OhNoItIsMe
Smells like propaganda
crasemanna
Looks like a duck.
SovietPinkiePony
It is. It's announced as forest survival show (like Bear Grylls one) but with 60 people, They need to live 1 year in the wild 1/2
SovietPinkiePony
build their house and make food on it's own. There is button to summon airplane and left project, if they feel they can't compete nature 2/2

WTF russia, trying to emulate Alabama now, damn copycats

It's the focus group for when Donald Trump rounds up the minorities. He wants to know what works and what doesn't when he does games here.
ajisnotmyname12
All we want is hangover games!
ErwinFletcher
Taking part in rape and murder can get you put in jail...imagine that
Zegot
not if I do it to myself!
Janewaygottheminivanstarship
In the us we only have 97% of rapists go free. And cops cant be convicted of murder.
Janewaygottheminivanstarship
Also the 13th amendment says slavery of incarcerated is legal
Wyrdthane
I predict everyone helping each other form shelter. gather/hunt food. create community. bond as brethren. possibly a marriage. a new villa
rip36706
Except there's a 1.5 mil reward to split among all survivors.... :/ still sick though.
Cavemango
And then the murders?
AfroSamuraiRM
And then the rape. Only after though.
VladimirPoopen
I like you
HypnoChanger
If there is one thing humans are really good at, it's doing the exact opposite of what the rules would imply would happen.
KjTheLightning
which basically means they'll just keep living in the forest until everyone except the winner dies, interesting.
Panzermeyer
Looks kinda fake. Sauce?
bjernhjard
Unless you're a well-to-do white male college swimmer with a bright future ahead of you. Then anything goes.

KjTheLightning
is this a drawn-out explanation of how memes work?
Drosophilamelanobastard
Soooooo... basically rape and murder is significantly less likely to occur than they would in real life. Basically multiperson survivorman
llenox
Exactly. The point of Hunger Games was to kill in order to be the last survivor. They advertise that anythings goes but not really
MetalForever
So if the producers actually witness a rape or murder live and they just let it happen, aren't they responsible as well?
QuziOG
I'm pretty sure this is a joke news article btw.
cr4sh0verride
Responsible or liable? Because with this much information that's 2 different answers.
fedoraeuphoria
Not sure about Russia but there is no way a Producer would be able to avoid liability in the US.
adamzeebear
No filming crew. Just 2,000 live cameras and go pros. No one to intervene as it happens.
freegiant
Tropic Thunder, here we come.
BurtMacklinYouSOB
Survive!
KotMroku
1) They are alone and the contestants have to sign papers that say they basically agree to getting killed and it's nobody's bussines.
TossABabyYodaToYourWitcher
Plus they have to prove they they're mentally stable
AntiWormMeasures
No one mentally stable would fuckin participate in this lmao
NationalistCanadianMooseWarrior
Money.
SuckAnElf
Depends on how much money they're offering the winner. I can see very poor people and the like doing this. Risk:Benefit
AntiWormMeasures
The buy in is 10 million rubles. Or if you're lucky you get voted in by viewers.
WehWehWeh
Well it is Russia...
cr4sh0verride
Source?
TheNextHafthorBjornsson
If they're in trouble or want to leave the show, they can hit a panic button on a satellite phone and be rescued & The winner will get 100m
TheNextHafthorBjornsson
roubles (£1.3m)
TheNextHafthorBjornsson
You'll also have to pay 10 million roubles (£130,000) to join this. What. The. Fuck.
cr4sh0verride
Or get voted in, which leaves me w/ 2 questions: Can only Russian people vote, and can we vote for anyone?
YourWaifuIsTrash
I never thought I would say these words in my life, but here goes: I vote for Justin Bieber.

gothamite87
No trouble. Great user name btw. "Hack the planet"
BaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaBATMAN
It's not a real story tho. My country's largest newspaper also published it, but later pulled it after they learned it was fake. The show is
BaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaBATMAN
real, but if the participants break the law they will be arrested. They just had to sign contracts saying the producers weren't responsible
FutureHylian
Its just a regular surving the wild reality show.
OhBolocks
This can go real wrong real quick
badmusicpuns
this could also be used as a marketing strategy. And it´s really very controled. That being said, technically anything could happen.
whatexactlyisthefunctionofarubberduck
they basically want 29 people to die
HawasKaPujari
It's Russia, so that is a given.
Compendyum
That's the idea?
ilikefoodmorethanpeople
isn't that the point of any reality tv show?
tzxAzrael
no, that's the lure of them, but how often does anything actually serious go wrong?
OhBolocks
I see we have something in common g
Bricklemeyer
No, it can't. If rape and murder are explicitly allowed what sort of chicanery can you possibly consider "going wrong"?
Immaturelmgurlmager
Murder and then rape
diddleyhole
Murder, rape, arson, and rape
SeaHutch
Or rape *then* murder.
IWishIWereADoggo
I expect this to go. Murder > rape > subsequent murder of witnesses > raping of witnesses > murdering of officers > raping of officers

lurkinggirl
So saying that means anything does not go.
Camelspotting
Not a lots of cops in the Siberian wilderness.
PaintedSlate
This is either marketing for the show or marketing for lies.
gothamite87
I think what they mean is that the producers will not intervene. They'd allow it to happen and then the culprit would face the consequences
Okirai
I'm pretty sure anything goes, as long as it isn't caught on camera.
jmeyers1983
So it's Chicago, only colder and with tv cameras
PopeBruce
So it's a hipster in Chicago.
Vizreki
Unless law is drastically different in Russia they would be criminally liable as well
lurkinggirl
If they are willing to sit by and actually watch that and do nothing they should be put in jail as well.
TheBeautifulUnicorn
Yeah but it's Russia
ilikefoodmorethanpeople
and they will, even in Russia. this is a publicity stunt
Wibblywobblytime
What about the camera man? This is a huge controversy for years now. Can camera men be held liable for not helping.
jackieisnotmyname
Its called an omission and as long as you have no legal obligation to intervene its not illegal
AlexTG
The people on the show would sign contracts allowing it, of willing mind. Unless you think you cna change your mind on a consensual act.
Nomtombouts
That's not how law works.
Muskrat42
There's nothing in rule of law saying that you can consent to murdwe
AlexTG
Maybe in america.
xemian
If they cant directly intervene, what can they do beside report them. And its russia we are talking about
lurkinggirl
I mean if there is a camera crew walking around with me, and they see me getting raped and murdered and do nothing.
cr4sh0verride
And if it's remote camera's, body cams and drones?
adamzeebear
There is no live crew. 2,000 cameras in the forest and go pros for each competitor.
NastyHabit
There is no camera crew. 2000 stationary cameras plus each carry their own.
cr4sh0verride
Devils advocate: If they are killing each other for sustenance/survival, how's that different from any of dozens of western hunting shows?
thdudedude
God you are dumb
Sugarblade
Get outta here with your devils avocado.
lurkinggirl
Hunting is killing for food. This is literally for entertainment.It's a show. True survival means you have to.Noone has to go on this show.
cr4sh0verride
Precisely, everyone here would be a volunteer, a willing participant. Seems MORE humane than my proposed comparison.
