Iraqi Reality TV

[RakuraiTenjin]

Iraq's version of "Punk'd" involves terrifying celebrities that they will be executed for treason and attempted bombing

A little extreme but funny

Soldier : “Which group you are working for?”

Television Host: “Al Qaeda for sure.”

Guest: “I am an actor. What are you saying? Is this a game or what?”

Soldier: “This a military checkpoint. What do you think we are playing here? You have got a bomb in your car.”

Television Host: “Why are you doing this? Why are you putting me in such trouble?”

Guest: “I am a family man. I have two kids. How could I do this to my family? I am telling you the truth, it’s not me who planted the bomb.”

Whiskey.

Tango.

Foxtrot.

I have to say, that is beyond cruel.

If somebody tricked me into fearing for my life in such a terrible way, I would have to make them fear for their life as well, and then kill them. Because you know, I'm not in the Reality TV business.

Not that much different from American Reality TV tbh.

Well, I'd kill Ashton Kutcher too if he pulled that shit on me.

I'd kill Ashton Kutcher regardless.

I'd kill Ashton Kutcher regardless.

Good point.

What's even worse is those shows where it's either a friend or a family member that suggest the prank.

In one case with a romanian reality show, a son suggested a prank for his mother. It wasn't this extreme, but still enough to piss her of into not giving him money for a summer trip into another country.

I think I'd be mad, but I don't think I would kill them. I mean, sure, I'd try and kill them if they tried to kill me, but you know, in this case I'm left unhurt. Physically.

Get back at them the American way! Sue them for psychological damage.

Wow, he sounds almost one fiftieth as horrible a son as Bam Margera.

if in america reality tv,someone said the word bomb,all people nearby would run away and ruin the whole sketch

 

[Shem]

A bit too far, in my opinion. I don't ever recall someone's life being threatened on Punk'd in any way, shape, or form, or otherwise they would've gotten sued or subsequently entangled in some sort of controversy, which never happened.

I guess we can't expect the same situation to happen on Iraqi television, though. Must have different standards.

 

[Warped]

man I thought the Japanese Reality TV shows were cruel!! Geez

 

[DEATHMASTER]

Vids or didn't happen.
