Do you watch the show...  |

What Would You Do?
It's a show that puts people in odd situations to see what they would do. For instance, there was a recent episode I saw where a colored woman went into a high scale clothing store and the sales woman made racist comments to her telling her people like her weren't allowed in that store. Both of these women were actors but the shoppers in the store didn't know that. The show wanted to see what sort of reaction the shoppers would have, and if any of them would stand up for the colored woman.
In that same episode there was a man (an actor) with a fake badge, following a woman with a baby (the woman is also an actor, and the baby was fake). The man was trying to get innocent bystanders to believe he was a bounty hunter, and got people to steal this woman's wallet, slip a pill into her drink, and even got someone to steal her baby, claiming that the woman had kidnapped the baby!!
Now here's the thing. Most of the stunts they put on are based on some form of true event. According to the show, the reason this bounty hunter stunt was put on, was because there was an incident where someone did something beyond belief because they thought they were put up to it by an authority figure.
This part has been bothering me ever since I saw the episode of this show. They showed the whole thing, obviously censoring things out...
Supposedly, someone claiming to be a police officer called a McDonald's and told them that a young, female employee had stolen a purse. The manager was ordered to strip search this employee, and it was caught on video. Okay... so far it seems believable and possible... right?
Here's the part that's bothering me. After the alleged police officer ordered the woman to be strip searched... she was then ordered to do jumping jacks naked, which she did... on video (it was showed on this episode!) then she was ordered to perform oral sex on a man who was in the room witnessing all this.
I am completely flabergasted!! Let's just suppose all this is true, and the manager did believe this was a police officer on the phone... why did someone not catch on once this naked woman was told to do jumping jacks? There were 3 people in the room, and a video camera somehow... nobody put a stop to it at any point. Then the woman goes on to perform oral sex on this man because someone on the phone instructed her too?? Really? Am I missing something?
This just doesn't sit well with me. That entire scenario doesn't sit well with me, and the fact that this TV show aired this video tape. The whole thing is very disturbing!
What do you think?

1. Anora_Eldorath (2605) | 10 months ago | I think I've seen it only a few times, and I have to agree it's disturbing what people will do. I'm not sure if it's because we have this deference for authority or not, but you'd think people would question, or use a bit of critical thought.
I think after what I'm reading here we'd have to rank it up with the JA show.

katsmeow1213 (4923) | 10 months ago | Thanks for your response...
I actually just came across this information on Wikipedia... apparently it was all true, it's all listed here in this article..

The girl seriously did think she was going to be arrested. It's all so sick!

Anora_Eldorath (2605) | 10 months ago | I didn't think after Milgram did his initial study that it was considered ethical to repeat it? I thought it went against the IRB? This is definately disturbing. Thanks for the link, I'll have to pass it on to my professor I just had about research methods. Namaste-Anora

2. lala501 (806) | 10 months ago | Yes I have seen that show, and that episode. I felt the same way when I saw that. I would have never done that. I would have been like just take me to jail if I have to go through all that.

katsmeow1213 (4923) | 10 months ago | Actually it didn't work out quite the way I'd thought from watching that show. There was quite a bit of detail the show left out. I searched it on the web, there's a link to a page about it on the first response in this discussion. After reading that it's a bit more understandable. Still makes you wonder why the girl didn't stop it all... but who knows.

katsmeow1213 (4923) | 10 months ago | It's called What Would You Do. It's hosted by the guy who does the 48 hours show. He takes real life situations that happen, and turn them into sort of pranks if you will, using actors, to see how many people will do the right thing. It's actually rather interesting, except that one episode really bothered me.

5. ravinskye (6262) | 10 months ago | I've watched bits and pieces of it. I saw just a clip of the one you were talking about with the black woman in the store. The one I watch this people were at like a diner or something and a guy and a girl are on a date. The girl goes to the bathroom and while she is gone the guy slips something into her drink. Only one couple really said anything. It was funny because the husband wanted to say something but his wife kept telling him to be quiet. Finally the husband told the wife to shut up and he made sure that the girl didn't drink the drink. It is scary how so many people will just ignore something bad.

6. cynthiann (3159) | 10 months ago | I have never heard of this show but it is more than disturbing as people do tend to obey persons in authjority. I do not like what I read. Again is is exploitation of women. Yesterday we spoke of exploitation of little girls and this is the same kind of exp-loitation. Disgusting. How could they ask the woman to do this? some men are pigs!

7. barehugs (3973) | 10 months ago | well I don't think anything about it because it didn't happen. TV stations are strictly monitored and would not be allowed to run a video like that. I must say I'm a bit surprised that a myLotter would be so naivete as to think others on myLot would fall for a line such as this! May God Help You!

9. ersmommy1 (10496) | 10 months ago | I don't think I'd find that entertaining. So I probably wouldn't watch. Poor girl. You are right it would be disturbing. Sounds pretty humiliating actually.
