Who thinks Fox is gonna get sued?
Umm... why would Fox be sued for filming a company thats firing someone?

I mean the workers who lose their jobs might sue FOX.
Even though the workers get a little settlement, its kinda stupid to fire someone for entertainment.

But the people getting fired worked at companies that were planning to layoff people anyway.

Yes, but normally the humiliation of being laid off isn't broadcasted all over the country for the entertainment of millions of assholes (I was going to write people, but seriously, who other than assholes are going to enjoy watching this?)

Uhh, Fox has a 24 hour news channel.

They kind of are already making a profit off of the bad economy. They also made a profit off the war in Iraq, the Inauguration of President Obama, that miraculous crash landing in the Hudson, Britney Spears...

Yes, but the sad thing is that these people will have signed up for it, because there is no way that Fox can film this sort of show without getting every single individuals' written consent.

And if they refuse to sign after the company has already agreed, then they get fired anyway.
