Agreed, and I don't think this study has any shot of getting published due to ethical issues nor should it be rewarded by scholarships and the like. I mean, it's interesting, but it sets a horrible precedent/example to let people shun research ethics because something is "interesting." Granted, sometime IRBs can be a bit into minutia with some things, but this level of deception and non-consent of participants is not minor, IMO.
