It's amazing that invasion of privacy, illegal activity, and the inevitable destruction of reputations can be revered and considered not to have harmed society in any way. | ||

I agree as well. He may have done something wrong, but deserves no more than a slap on the wrist. The authorities need to be focusing on people who are actually raping and murdering. It's upsetting that our tax dollars go to crap like this. | ||

I would argue that there are some people in the middle between "He did nothing wrong" and "Send him away for twenty years". Some people recognize that he did enough things wrong that he's probably going to get sued and end up with some other consequences. | ||

I don't see why this should be a criminal offense since he didn't harm anyone and it was done in good fun. Sounds like a good defense against arson. Would you use it? He's not being charged for physically harming people. | ||

Who's responsible? The guy for not getting parents consent for being filmed (regardless of content I'm asking) or the teacher for giving consent on behalf of parents and not checking specifically what they will be filmed for? I'm guessing if you are at school, it falls on the teacher. Iirc its typical for hidden cam/reality types of shows to be vague on their waiver to 'trick' people to consenting and still be legal. I'm not sure of the specifics, but it seems like there's a grey line. | ||

In Arson, you ARE hurting people by destroying their property. He's not even hurting peoples' property. | ||

He's not even hurting peoples' property. he hurt the sensitive parent's feelings. these parents won't back down so easily after seeing their kids be exposed to vulgar language. and after they find out that its actually fake? they're even in more rage and would sue the crap out of him. | ||

child rapists deserve 20 years if not more. this guy is obviously not a child rapist/molester yet he is being treated as one because of Mr. Tony Tague | ||
