"Shaq Vs." the Indian Libido?

Today, as I do everyday, I was searching through the morning's entertainment industry trade papers and commentary blogs when I came across this description for ABC's new August show...

"ABC has ordered Shaq Vs. a one-hour unscripted series starring NBA star Shaquille O'Neal. Each episode of the series will pit the 7 foot -1 inch O'Neal against a star player from another sport. Among the other athletes on board are Michael Phelps, who will challenge Shaq in swimming, Ben Roethlisberger, who will take him on in football, Serene Williams in tennis, Oscar De La Hoya in boxing, Albert Pujols in baseball and Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh in beach volleyball.

To even the playing field, the other athletes will have to deal with a handicap of Shaq's choosing.

Shaq Vs. will premiere August 18 at 9 p.m. on ABC. The series is from Media Rights Capital and Dick Clark Productions."

Also I came across this story about birth control in India, http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/asia/article6695338.ece. The Indian government is apparently attempting to reduce the birth rate of its citizens by giving out free TVs. There belief is that if people had television they would rather watch soap operas than fornicate.

Which is more likely, Shaq beating any of these athletes or Indians watching TV instead of doing the horizontal mambo?
