Is this a new low or has humanity always been this depraved?

Asked by Judi (40025points) July 13th, 2012 from iPhone

I rarely watch TV but I was flipping channels and landed on Repo Games
I was so appalled! They take people in one of the most desperate times of their life, when the ugliest part of them is likely to come out, and then basically ask them to perform tricks on the outside chance that their life won’t totally be destroyed. (if they answer 3 of 5 questions correctly they will pay off their car loan.)
This seems so cruel to me! When answering questions they ask these desperate people to embarrass themselves doing impersonations in addition to broadcasting their desperate rage. It seems like a new low for humanity. Am I just kidding myself? Is this a new low or has humanity always been so depraved?
