TV show to sell off three virgins to the highest bidder

Is this a new low for "reality" television?

From the New York Post:

A reality show that promises to sell off three virgins to the highest bidder is — to say the least — raising a storm of controversy on two sides of the Pacific.

The show is the brainchild of an Australian filmmaker, Justin Sisley, and will be made for TV there. But, as of yesterday, the show was set to be filmed in Nevada.

The three virgins — two women and one man — are to be paid $20,000 each plus 90 percent of their "sale price" to take part in the auction, according to a report in the Sydney Daily Telegraph.

Australian authorities forced Sisley to move production of the show out of the country, threatening to charge him and the virgins with prostitution if they went through with their original plan.
