So I'm watching Dateline NBC tonight...

[DiosaBellissima]

As an aside, To Catch a Predator- while completely unethical- is like, my favorite TV show. With lines like, “I can’t control my horny level” and “I’ll just be your secret lover, hehe”, how could it not be?

I was thinking of buying a Chris Hansen shirt to wear next time we have a To Catch a Predator party, but my friends said that will just lead me down a sad road. It’s only a matter of time before I show up in their sting house, with a Chris Hansen shirt on and an NBC hat, carrying a box of beer and dildos (they come in one box now). The kid is going to be all, “Take a seat over there, I made some—” And I’ll jump in, “Sweet Tea! I know! Omg! Can I have a cookie too?”

Then Chris Hansen is going to come out and be all, “Do you ever watch TV?” and I’ll be like, “Of COURSE! I love that Dateline show!” And then he’ll say, “Do you know who I am?” And I’ll excitedly scream (in the most fangirl of manners), “YOU’RE CHRIS HANSEN FROM DATELINE NBC AND YOU’RE DOING A REPORT ON ADULTS WHO SOLICIT SEX FROM MINORS ON THE INTERNET!!! squeeeeeee”. Then I’ll cling to Chris Hansen, humping his leg and letting him know it wasn’t the kid I came to molest.

Then I’ll walk outside and as TreeCop attacks me, I’ll be screaming, “OMG THIS IS THE GREATEST DAY OF MY LIFE! First I hump Chris Hansen of Dateline NBC and now I just got Tree Cop’d! SCORE!”

Watch out for that episode, it’s bound to air eventually.

DiosaBellissima, are you feeling ok?

So long as Chris Hansen and To Catch a Predator are in my life, I’ll be better than fine.

I despise the predator catching show. That, however, is an episode I would watch.

I’ll even give the SDMB a shout out. Wait. That’s what I’ll do- I’ll wear my Chris Hansen T Shirt and a Straight Dope hat, yes?

The Straight Dope might be better served if you forgot to mention it, I’m thinking. But I’d sure as hell watch the episode.

So they show up at the house in an RV, pretending that they’re doing some sort of “30th Anniversary of the RV” promotion. They say, “you just registered a new iPod, correct?” and offer them a free iTunes card if they’ll come out to the RV for a few minutes. Then they fess up to being Dateline and show the tape of that specific iPod being taken.

So someone I’ve never seen before comes to my house. Assuming I even open the door, they then give me some jazz about a free thingamajig if I get in a van. Yeah, I’m all over that.

Yeah, I was a little uncertain of that as well, but we’re talking about people that steal an item, then tell the manufacturer that they have it, who they are and where they live. We’re not talking about the brightest bulbs on the Christmas tree here.
