Gana la Verde
It is a constant source of amazement that with socialist paradises such as Cuba and North Korea, or the organic community of feminist enclaves like "Saudi" Arabia, on offer that so many people are desperate to make tracks for the Great Satan. Must be indoctrination of some kind.
I bitterly resent that Win the Green is not a Canadian game show. I have had no luck convincing my American women friends to divorce their husbands and marry me.
Some TV shows offer an extreme makeover, others a bid for pop stardom. But the hottest reality show in the U.S. Hispanic market is offering the ultimate prize -- a potential green card to immigrants desperate to pursue the American dream.
"Gana la Verde" ("Win the Green") has attracted big audiences and hundreds of contestants willing to eat burritos crammed with live worms, jump off high-speed trucks or wash skyscraper windows in exchange for a year's legal help in speeding up their visa or green card cases.

And then... I should add I am joking about wanting any version of this show on the air. The entire premise is grotesque.
