Just some funny escapism we played at work today, please don't take this thread seriously or go pc on me, it's just fun... You can say yes to them all or individually give a yes/no and why.

`1. Go on Jeremy Kyle with your family (no kids under 18), it's all scripted but it's utter humiliation and you can never tell any1 it was all fake. It's going to be really dramatic and memorable. So think really humiliating stuff like you and your mum are fighting over a 17 year old lover and you and your mum/sister having to be restrained in a physical fight...

2... Organise a massive family gathering (no kids allowed) with all your friends for a birthday and humiliate yourself...think dancing on floor and doing Britney by wearing a short skirt and nothing under and flashing your boobs, trying it on with all the men there, trying to do dirty dancing on the floor and so on totally disgracing yourself. If anybody tries to stop you then you make a huge Eastenders style scene. Again utter humiliation and you can never tell anybody except your husband/partner it was for money.

3... Do a porno.

4.. Spend 3 years in jail.

5...Move to USA with your partner and kids/grandkids and never being allowed anymore contact with parents/siblings/friends ever again. You can say goodbye to them but no contact ever again.

6...Not be allowed to see your kids for 1 year, they are well looked after but 0 contact for a year.

7... Write a really homophobic/racist/misogyny/ misandry /anti semitic and so on status on social media and never being allowed to say you did it for the money.

I love these sorts of questions

Quick question back to you @LindaHamilton

For a billion quid, would you have sex - and I mean full sex, for one night - with either
a) Donald Trump
b) Boris Johnson
c) Nigeria Farage

For a billion quid I'd have a foursome with them all night! 😂

In UK you don’t send your kid off to school and pray they’ll come home and not get shot. I’ve lived in UK and in the US- can’t pay me enough to live in most areas of the US.

It isn't billionaire anyone's getting shot in America though is it?

Mumsanetta · 28/02/2024 11:27

Pretty sure Jay Z and Beyoncé are not terrified that Blue Ivy will get shot and killed on her way home from school. This is also supposed to be a lighthearted thread, what’s with the buzz kill?

God this is a tame one. When we have these at work we start at £1m and work our way down to see how cheap we can get people to agree to it. For £1b i wouldnt even have a second thought on any of that. Its life changing for multiple generations.

Now if you start discussing amputations, incest and what you will actually swallow then we can have a proper discussion.

Yes to go on Jeremy Kyle

No to the rest

Well 1st of all you would have a billion so you'd hardly be living in the hood or the slums of New York city and you could afford home tuition...

Secondly your comment is gross exaggeration. School shootings in USA are extremely rare. Yes it happens but hardly ever and the chances of it happening in a school to your kid are extremely slim. Most parents in USA would not sit praying their kids would not get shot at school that day.

You'd have much more chance of your kid dying in a road accident or from cancer than a school shooting so you hardly sit thinking of this everyday about your kids. And the vast majority of USA is fine and safe, what you are saying is akin to saying somebody wouldn't want to live in London of the stabbings, terrorist attacks or acid attacks when in actual fact the likelihood of this happening is extremely low.

MN go totally ott on these sorts of situations. On every thread about a poster having conflict with her partner/husband you have posters saying 1/2 women are killed by their partners every week in UK. It's often said when there was 0 violence mentioned and it's made sound like a really common scenario and the risk is high by posters when in actual fact it's not. The chances of that are extremely low considering there are 34 million women in the UK. I never once seen any poster saying they know a woman it happened to either, they just throw around the same statistic.

I’m not sure why you’re taking all of this so personally over a fake scenario. You asked the question and I answered? I’ve given you a response based on my own personal view as well as my family’s experiences that live in America. Hence why I wouldn’t live in the US….

Enjoy your thread, take a deep fucking breath and have a great day!

It's not a fake scenario I am challenging you on though, it's your view than all the people in our black community fear America for getting shot by police because of a tiny minority of isolated cases that I am challenging you on. You are going on like they are common occurrences, no they aren't.

And your 'personal view' needs tuning or rather to be informed, if you think black people in USA are at a high risk for getting shot by the ops then you are highly misinformed. It's extremely unlikely. There are nearly 50 million black people in USA, how many of them have being shot by the police because they are black?? Such an absurd statement.
Secondly um how many of your family have been shot at by the cops in America solely because they are black? Please answer me that as I'm intrigued.
