Spoof - Monty Solomon wrote in messagenews:: (AP) By ABCNEWS.com June 27 - The original Candid Camera was never like this. Today's reality shows are pulling pranks on people that are more daring, more outrageous, and scarier than ever before - and everyone is fair game. In the jargon of the new TV trend, you can be the subject of a scare tactic, you can be "Ex'd," and you can be "Punk'd" - like celebrity Justin Timberlake was. The pop idol was visibly shaken when he believed he was being evicted from his home for failing to pay back-taxes - a prank set up by the MTV show Punk'd. In an episode of Scare Tactics, a young woman camping in the woods with friends is terrified after seeing a masked man with a machete peer into the cabin. She's upset and frightened - and then, her friends not only tell her it's all a joke, they also tell her she's on a reality television show. http://abclocal.go.com/kgo/news/entertainment/062703_ent_ambush_tv.html [Lisa Minter note: I think those shows are all mean and hateful. I am told many people refuse to sign off giving permission for that junk to be shown on television.
