it really is a stupid show.. its funny but at the same time of people were actually doing this to you, most people would be pissed. this isnt candid camera, its pretty rude and degrading.I love the show as does my son. My wife on the other hand absolutely refuses to even go in the same room with me when the show is on and says that it is totally moronic and demeaning to those that get pranked (which of course is the reason I like it). I try to tell her not to take it seriously but she just can't appreciate it. Opposites attract I guess!
