Anyone else being watching this? If you haven't seen it, basically they set up peado's from chatrooms and get them to come to a location and use an actress to entice them before the presenter comes in and confronts them before they get arrested.

Here's one:

Hmm.

Well I don't like the programme because basically it's using something very serious to draw in viewers and be sensationalist. If they did want to "catch a predator", then why do it with TV cameras?

It makes the whole thing seem trivial and like it's only half real.
It's trivialising the fact that these men are grooming children as young as what they believe is about 8 in order to rape them.

No problem.I know it's a serious subject but I can't help but laugh at the one featuring the Asian guy."This man is a regular santa claus" :joker:

I remember seeing one (not sure if you've posted it yet Dan), where the man tries to do a runner and the police have to taze him and he runs around the house being tazed.

I was going to post that one lol, but it only showed the actually incident where he was being tazed.I saw the whole thing on either this week or last week's episode, he sounded like Ned Flanders.

Only the Yanks could make a show so tasteless.
