NBC’s To Catch a Predator is such a guilty pleasure, even though it’s the same scenario every time: perv comes in, young decoy offers him some lemonade and cookies or whatever, then host Chris Hanson comes outta nowhere with some really snappy line and the perv gets all embarrassed, and later arrested.
But the real action comes when the situation goes one of two ways:
1. The dude acts all calm and has a BS conversation with Hanson, talking about how he wasn’t really gonna have sex with a kid, but, you know, he was just visiting or whatever.
2. Dude is familiar with the show, but apparently never thought he’d be on it, so he starts apologizing and pleading and feeling all sad and ashamed when he realizes that as soon as he walks out the door, the cops are gonna rag him up, and shit will steadily roll downhill for his whole sorry life from then on.
So imagine my delight when fellow GIANT staffer Kevin sent me this Predator highlights video. Some kid had a lot of time on their hands, and we’re so totally grateful for it. Check out the clip below.
