DATELINE: To Catch a Predator
 

If you don't know what it is, it's punk'd for pedophiles.

Most hilarious show ever.

Discuss.

This is the show that I hate to admit that I like. It is really sad and just plain sick to see these men anticipating sex with 14 year old girl. Then they see Chris Hansen with all the cameras, and they are like, "uh I just came into this house to ask for directions." or "I know I drove 200 miles, but I came to tell the girl that I think this is a bad idea"....yeah whatever.

I don't know why I keep watching this show. I guess I get a kick out of seeing these (sometimes incredibly ugly) men get what they deserve.

But I have to admit, the way Chris Hansen confronts these men is hysterical. He is perfect for that job.

Sad, but comical as well. I do watch this show and as an attorney, I am AMAZED at what the "alleged" pedophiles will admit to on camera AFTER they know they are on Dateline WITHOUT an attorney present.

Chris Hansen was on Jay Leno's show last week and said the conviction rate so far is 100%....Not surprising after the dummies admit to the internet conversations, having condoms, liquor, and anticipating sex with a minor:mad:

I am watching it now. This episode is creepy cause it is in Flagler Beach and that is 45 min from me.

1 out of a hundred
 

I'm watching now too...this is crazy! Do they come because it's their first time? I bet for all the ones they catch..there are hundreds that get away with this stuff.

That guy is extremely old!

haha this show is great..i love how they see the man and be like i just came over to make sure she was ok because she said she was alone...hmmm?:confused:

I've only seen bits of episodes while flipping through channels. The last time, there was a guy who had been caught on a previous episode. He had a court date for that charge and the very next day, he was trying to meet up with another "teenage girl". Turned out it was Dateline again. He got busted again and he was refusing to go outside because he knew the cops were out there.

Anyone remember the Indian dude from a while back? "Not goot." Such a great line.

How scary was the dude from a few episodes ago who had duct tape and ropes in the back of his car and said he used that stuff for "work."

Watching this show is so much more interesting than writing an appellate brief on this topic.

I cannot believe that old guy who said, "I just wanted to be her friend. I am not physically able to have sex anymore". He really thought that line was going to work. :rolleyes:

Being the mom of a teenage girl, those shows scare me to death. It's so hard to wrap your head around the fact that are so many men who are doing this. And, as someone pointed out above, these are only the ones that are caught on camera during this show.

Was anyone else SHOCKED?!?! :eek: when the police officer showed up with the "arsenal" of weapons? It is scary to even realize what could have happened....

I watch the show every time it's on. I'm always amazed that Chris Hansen can keep a straight face with some of these guys!

Also, if you need to further disturb your mind, read it all & see it all uncensored: http://www.perverted-justice.com/

I am a big fan of what they do, but PJ's website absolutely sucks. It's terrible to try to read.
