I actually feel sorry for these guys, being wired the way they are. Their actions are disgusting and inappropriate for sure, I wish there was some way to help them before it came to this.

The first one was shocking.
The second one was interesting.
I didnt bother with the third because because if you seen the first two you seen them all.
They keep beating this horse for ratings, but its already played out.
a) Fugly 25 yo girl pretends to be a boy.
b) Pedo chats and sets up date
c) Shows up, plays the fool
d) Gets caught by surpise and interviewed and /or freaks out.
e) Gets arrested
...been there, done that.
They are going to make this new genre of "shock" journalism jump the shark! :shocked:

The more important thing is not the "shock" for the watching audience as it the the "shock" for the dudes busted. Think about it, if everyone in thier family or co-workers, or close friends did not know they were pedophiles, well they do now and they will NEVER look on those people again, and hopefully will never trust their kids with these people.
That is a good thing because the next time these people get the urge they will be fearful of getting busted again so they may turn on young a family member or the child of a close friend to get satisfaction.
Hopefully this is what they need to stop, and if not I hope they knock on the door of a gun owning father who is very protective of his daughter/son.
I personally thought the sick fvck that showed up with his kid was the worst one.

Dateline in general jumped the shark for me many years ago, they're the bottom of the barrel when it comes to TV news magazines. Hearing that they paid $100,000 to set up one of these Candid Camera episodes, errr, "stings" was not really that shocking.

It's just about the only show I can bother to watch these days.
