BBC set to prove that it can compete with Americans for crap television

This just in from the "let's put something incredibly asinine on TV and see what happens" department:

BBC Three: Fat Men Can't Hunt

If you can't kill it and cook it, you'll be going hungry...
Most of us love our convenient Western lifestyles - supermarket shelves groaning with every possible type of food known to man, takeaway deliveries only a phone call away, and handy fridges to keep everything fresh.
...
Fat Men Can't Hunt is a four-part series that follows a group of eight men and women to see if they can live among the San Bushmen of the Kalahari Desert in Namibia. The men will have to join hunts, spending days at a time foraging for food. Meanwhile the women will have to stay in the camp, living their lives according to the strict social rules that govern local women.

Oh, the irony! A show about fat slobs suffering and starving in the desert being watched by fat slobs sitting on their sofas (or chesterfields, as they say in the U.K.) back home.

What next?
