Funny...

yet ironic, seeing as how TLC has become nothing but a bunch of dumbass home-makeover shows. I'd almost prefer ****ing a sheep.

Amusing, but who doesn't know about putting a sheeps hind legs down yer wellies, pointing 'em towards water (so they back up) and latching on with velcro gloves? That's what's wrong with the world today, kids hafta learn this stuff off the internet instead of having an involved parent in their life teaching 'em. A damn shame I tell ya.
Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!

There was this very disturbing but compelling NBC Dateline program where NBC hired some workers to go onto a chatroom and pretend to be 13-14 year olds. After chatting up with some adults over the period of a few days, they invited the adult over for sex, and when the adult showed up inside the house with its hidden cameras, out popped the reporter who would then proceed to grill them over their illegal and disgusting chat transcript.

The predators would then start to freak out and some of them looked like they were on the verge of breaking down, it was like those people on Punk'd but more intense.

Then they brought out the cameras and the predator would panic and run out. This happened with around a dozen men.

The internet is a sick place and this type of thing is no laughing matter.

Saw that one. I remember the Basement Saver (fireman) wacking off on the webcam. I'm sure that was a good idea at the time, but on a national braodcast... well, that's just a wee bit embarrassing. Most of those preds just should be killed. File it under dsaf (did society a favor).

I played the internet. The last boss was hard. Remember to duck when he goes back for the haymaker.

This would have been an awesome potential for a really funny ad. Too bad it turned out to be a bunch of preachy crap.

Have you been touched by his noodly appendage?

I know one of the men caught in that sting. I don't understand why people say "what a shame" or whatever. do they mean its a shame he got caught or that he did what he did? I for one am happy that people are getting caught.

They mean it's a shame there are people who troll for the underage and attempt to take advantage for them. There is usually no sympathy for those who are caught doing that kind of thing.

Predatory behavior / pedophilia should be dealt with rather severely... sever head from body, mount on a pike pour encourager les autres

Don't try to outweird me, I get stranger things than you free with my breakfast cereal.
