Is Family Fued Getting Trolled? [SUSPICIOUS]

Okay, there's something weird going on over at Family Feud. The classic game show that Steve Harvey now hosts had yet another "oh, no, that didn't just happen" moment and it's starting to make us a bit suspicious.

It's certainly not the first time the show has been getting a bit saucy, a bit dirty and a little alternative. See the video clip below. This time the dirty-minded answer came from the answers, not one of the contestants and, frankly, we are having a hard time believing that "schlong" was ever a legitimate answer to the question. 

One of three things might be happening:

1. How they actually survey people for the answers on the show has been discovered by throngs of web-based pranksters, who are trolling the survey and "pwning" the show to deliberately and collectively get BS answers on the board.

2. The producers are fixing it from a time-to-time to give the appearance that all of these "accidents" seem spontaneous and uncontrollable. The grand purpose of this would be to get the clips to go viral and maintain interest in the show. (If this is so, I guess we are playing right into their hands).

3. A bit of both 1 and 2 combined: The pranksters are pwning and the producers allowing it.

All of this may be untrue, but our eyebrows are raised. If history has taught us anything, it's that the television business is not always the most honest. 

Oh well, at least we're laughing. Ain't the entertainment biz grand?
