Death Cab (Not for Cutie)

Cash Cab is a show where some cabdriver picks up New Yorkers and asks them questions and then gives them money depending on how well they answer those questions.  Although the contestants are usually batshit crazy, they still do WAY better than anyone I know possibly could at coming up with the right answers, so apparently New Yorkers are way smarter than us. 

Anyway, I was just thinking how much better it would be if instead of offering a cash prize for answering questions right, the incentive was punishment for getting answers wrong.  Like, what if on the third strike they dropped the passengers off in the middle of Harlem in full KKK garb?  That would be some good stuff, IMO.  Still sort of working on this idea, but it has potential like no other.
