MixFM’s Lie Detector Test

I’ve been having to wake up at the unearthly hour of 5.30am every morning to drive to work, simply because of the lack of parking space at this office. Sometimes I wonder if I made the right choice in moving away from an office where I had a cushy parking lot and room of my own!

Anyway, decisions aside, my early morning entertainment often features replays of the MixFM Lie Detector test. I really don’t like the MixFM morning crew but this new Lie Detector test they have introduced only fueled my dislike further. What is there to gain by making people air their dirty laundry in public or admit to things which can only serve to hurt their partners or loved ones? They claim the lie detector is certified genuine by the HP Office Jet Pro All-In-One Printer. How a printer company certify a lie detector polygraph machine beats me!

Some of the notable lie detectors tests I’ve heard really did get to me and left me wondering what these people thought they would gain from it or how much faith they were going to put on this machine. To me, it seems like a lot of hurt:

Question: Do you regret marrying your wife?
Answer: No
Lie Detector: He’s lying

Question: Do you still love your wife?
Answer: Yes
Lie Detector: Deceptive 

Question: Will you continue seeing your ex-boyfriend after you’re married?
Answer: No
Lie Detector: She’s lying

I know there’s an RM1,000 prize to be won but please don’t ask your loved one in public if she/he has cheated on you, don’t ask your father on Live radio if he loves you or your brother more, don’t admit to not loving your wife on air - simply to win that money. Will it be worth it after you have aired all your dirty laundry in public for the nation to hear? I don’t think it is. Sometimes money can’t repair the hurt or spoilt relationships that your “lies” may have caused.

    Woot! You’re alive! :P Yes I agree. I detest this programme. Its sick and sometimes its better to live a white lie and be happy than to know the truth and suffer. Besides its Rm1000 to be shared ok? For RM500 I won’t bother.

    PB - Yes, I really don’t see the point! I’m amazed people are still dialing it. RM500 can probably buy them a week’s petrol - dirty laundry comes quite cheap nowadays! ;)

    Iris - Thanks for the tip! I better start changing my frequency now! Is FlyGuy still there?
