* ImorralRealityShow: The network decides to create a reality show in which people kill themselves on live television in exchange for large sums of money given to their families.

* IfItBleedsItLeads: The trailer implies that the death of the runner up gave a large amount of attention to them, so they decide to milk all they can from
* InterplayOfSexAndViolence:The first person to kill herself in the show is a young good looking woman who undresses and steps in a tub, all done sensually, but then [[ElectrifiedBathtub throws a stereo on the tub and dies by electrocution.]]

* ArtisticLicenseLaw: A very big one, apparently. The network's lawyer tells them they can't be sued if there's no proof they helped or forced the suicide, which might mean to literally hold the gun for someone to kill themselves, because, in truth, they have basically done both: They provide weapons and settings of various types for the people to die (electrified, shoot themselves, drown, etc.) and promise large sums of money to their very in need family if they agree to kill themselves on their show. In real life, there have been cases of people who, for doing way less than that, have been prosecuted and condemned for doing way less.
