They are not aware of the stunt beforehand. Also, they wouldn't sue because they want the publicity.

Remember, if someone asks too many questions, it could be that they just aren't rally part of the crew. Refer them to the script master.

How can you not know that all the people in the world freeze and deactivate when you are not looking at them? RBG 12 & 13. Interesting juxtaposition. I think I can figure which one is real life.

This one involves rising port-o-potties.

The movie "The Truman Show" is what I'm getting at. How do you know YOU are not Truman. If we were all perfect actors how would you know you were just be used for someone else's entertainment. This concept is 2,000 years old and comes from Hinduism where supposedly Brahmin (the watching Creator) is enjoying our show. An example is that of the painting, "Madonna and Child" by Duccio which the Metropolitan Museum in NYC purchased for $45 million! It has been determined to be a fake. But with so much at stake and invested in believing it is authentic, denial will take over. In fact, life is like that. How can one say that there is no God? "What would happen to me? Where would I stand? NO. I don't care, I'm going back to believing something that is not true because it offers me SECURITY. I can't stand to be alone in a mysterious Universe." Aren't we all just actors in this play called Life? 11.You touch on what is reality. The movie “The Truman Show” is what I’m getting at. How do you know YOU are not Truman.

But then you have to ask yourself how different it might have been if they could have gotten away with it using real people. While these folks were probably models, I can imagine a cash/signed pre-release situation that might not give it all away to the signees. But just the mechanical practicalities of it all still makes it pretty funny. RBG LOL

The old man in the second one may not have been an actor, but he damn well knew what was going to happen. Come on...oh, and guess what John, pro-wrestling isn't real either.

YouTube has a lot of them. You should see the episode with the dissolving paper bikini. Even the Japanese can't get away with this any more, though. Their studios would probably get sued as well these days. These are really old, actually. YouTube has a lot of them. You should see the episode with the dissolving paper bikini.

If they're demanding this garbage, then the Japanese networks would be silly to not give the (apparently really stupid) people what they want. Supply and demand. Or something like it. Then I look at an American television landscape littered with Jerry Springer and not-quite-real reality shows and I realize we're not too far removed from them. I fear for the planet's future.

Very Funny.
