Does anyone else feel really uncomfortable at some of the episodes of Prank Patrol?
I get the general concept, I know the kids are most likely stage-school or drama-group kids, I am sure they vet them and don't allow bullying, but frankly I HATE the crappy reasons they come up with for doing the prank. And while everything is carefully choreographed at the production end, the people watching it are children who don't have the same filters and I'm pissed off by the message it sends.
'He worries too much about his appearance' - so what? The kid then gets gunked after an elaborate set-up. Yeah yeah, it's all meant to be fun. I just feel it's teaching children that if someone annoys you in some small way, you have the right to set them up to be humiliated.
Not all the episodes are like this but a couple are pretty bloody petty and nasty. Kids can be vile enough to each other without being egged on by adults.
