Haven't seen you in a while; always a pleasure! Thank you angel

Thank you for the quality. I like Louis Theroux in general. He has that sort of personality that can be assumed as neutral and get into crazy situations and come out of it alive.

Oh excellent, I saw this advertised on TV, so glad you've posted it

I think I saw this guy on a Louis Theroux doco. America - it's wild, man. Wild.

This still has not been fixed. I think it would look bad to a casual visitor to Videosift if they found so many tiny videos. These aren't just isolated incidents either:

Louis Theroux: America's Medicated Kids

Here's the link to part 1 of 7, I'm sure you can take it from there.

I'm not witch hunting him, but ASIDE FROM the extortion later on, there's the original crime where this guy willingly got into a hot tub with a minor. Seems like he knew she was a minor.

That's not cool.

If you ask me, this touches perfectly on a knife edge that i've always thought about when i think of "paedophilia".

I once watched a program where louis theroux visited a centre for paedophiles. They stayed inside this purgatorial estate until they were "re-habilitated" and there was no time limit on their incarceration. The only people who had EVER been released (i think? hazy memory) were people who had voluntarily gone through chemical castration.

I was in a state of pure shock after watching the video. My utter disgust and contempt for their dispicable act was met with my utter vexation that these people would be held indefinitely until some people who claimed themselves experts decided that they were "cured". And usually only when they'd metaphorically chopped their gonads off.

I didn't know what to think. Did i feel sorry for these people who now had no presence in the world, who had no rights and literally a purgatorial non-existance? Or did i feel glad that they'd been taken out of the world for something that is unthinkable to any normal person?

And to be honest, i still don't know. But i think this discussion is fuelled by that uncertainty. Some people may also not know what they feel. Some people think "This guy shouldn't have his life ruined by getting into a hot tub with a minor and not doing anything," some people think "Holy shit this guy knowingly got into a hot tub with a minor."

Do you think if chris hansen got a guy to sit in a hot tub with a 15 year old girl and then the guy said "but i wasn't going to do anything!" that we'd believe him? No, of course we wouldn't.

So what if chris hansen had popped up when this guy had been getting into the hot tub, and said "hi, i'm chris hansen from dateline nbc?" His life would have been terribly terribly different.

So exactly how many future lawmakers and "citizens of good standing and public service" has chris hansen put behind bars for non-crimes similar to this man? Should the crowd in this video be applauding the people we've seen on "to catch a predator"...?

Oh god yeah, he's a nasty piece of work. This was a clear cut case of dirty journalism. I think that Louis Theroux would have been far more classy about it, but then again probably wouldn't have got to the depths Bashir did by tricking him. All i'm saying is that in between all that bullshit he has managed to get some great footage

I think he means she is a commodity as in they are business partners, people paying money for photo shoots or some jibber jabber. I love louis theroux, one of the best journo's out there, trying to be as objective as possible where sometimes it is impossible/implausible.

Imagine being born into and raised by the Phelps's church. Organized ignorance is so sad.
If you haven't seen it Louis Theroux did a great little documentary on the the family.....http://www.videosift.com/video/Louis-Theroux-on-the-most-hated-family-in-America
