I loathe the television show To Catch a Predator. The smarmy Chris Hansen and the glee with which the Perverted Justice crew entrap people is television at its worst. The Perverted Justice people use names like Frag and Xavier and sit online all day trying to get men to talk to them in a sexually explicit way. Something is wrong with you if this is your job...or life's passion.
Chris Hansen and Dateline are even worse. They use it for ratings. It's all lights! Camera! Action! As it was in the case in Murphy, Texas. A respected former D.A. shot himself when the S.W.A.T. team from Terrell busted into his home. Seriously. The S.W.A.T. team busted in the home of a 50-something year old former D.A.'s home because he chatted online with a fake teenage boy.
The family of the man that shot himself in the head when he discovered the S.W.A.T. team in his house is now suing NBC, the Murphy and Terrel police departments and Perverted Justice. I hope she gets every dime they've ever seen.
You can read the entire feature in the latest issue of Esquire Magazine.
It's ironic that a show can be so seedy that you end up hating the A-hole host more than the would be predators. Hansen should be punched in the crotch until he loses consciousness
