From an anthropological perspective,
could these type of tactics be considered almost excepted,
given the fact that I grew up with 'Candid Camera'?
The last few times I did watch television, I saw myriad programs,
containing practical? jokes that I considered cruel and offensive.
Cruel, nasty vicarious violence has been the mainstay of entertainment
in this country for decades, and it seems as though it needs to escalate
to keep peoples attention.
Think of all the programs on T.V. alone....where this type of behavior...
is considered funny...
yuck...me go be quiet now..and take a bath.
