Default Paying a homeless person to eat dog poop

In the politics forum someone mentioned that the guy who made Supersize This used to pay homeless people $100 to eat dog poop and videotape it. Do you think that this is immoral?

It's definitely not to be looked well upon, but it's pure capitalism.

This response bothers me more than the video.

This reminds me does anyone remember that guy who got in trouble for paying homeless people to fight? He would videotape them and sell the videos. He sold a crapload but got busted.

Are you suggesting that "pure capitalism" excuses immorality?

I'd imagine that what he was saying was that it was a voluntary exchange of cash for services. The services rendered aren't by themselves inherently immoral, unless you have strong feelings about the sentience of dog poop. One can debate whether it was truly a voluntary exchange, perhaps, but I think that if you accept that it was then it's hard to find too much immoral about it. It's definitely distasteful, though - literally! Wocka wocka wocka.
