Sunday nights just got a little more interesting...

I love NBC. Not only did they give me MUST SEE TV that included "Seinfeld", "Friends", and "Mad About You" to name a few, but they also give great news documentaries. The "Today Show" is pretty awesome and before I became the ultra sensitive mommy that I am, I used to watch it every morning with Katie Couric and Matt Lauer. I do watch it from time to time, but have to change the channel due to my sensitivity to issues of the world. I'm a crybaby, people. It's OK.

They also have a show called "Dateline" that's an hour long documentary cases around the nation and sometimes worldwide issues. They take rare cases and elaborate on them a little more. Friday night their show featured a young British woman who was attacked by someone who threw acid on her face. Turns out the person behind that was a guy she went out on one date with a few weeks prior and the guy ended up raping her as well. Brutal, I know. And of course I cried, but these are just eye opening experiences for me.

There is a special that "Dateline" used to produce from time to time that was called "To Catch A Predator." It focuses on adult men who prey on minor online for sexual favors. ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING, I KNOW! But man, this stuff was hilarious.

There is a company called Perverted Justice that hires people to play decoys online as minors who are trying to nab the nasty pedophiles out there. That guy on the logo up there is Chris Hansen. He's the one with the cojones to actually get in a room with these pedos and interview them without them knowing. Here's how it works:

-The people at Perverted Justice, the people at Dateline, the police, and of course, Chris Hansen himself, rent out a house in a community and set up shop. They have installed security cameras everywhere imaginable in and around the house. They have police in the perimeter of the house and are ready to nab these pedos as soon as they walk out the house.

-Perverted Justice has a room in the house where they chat online to predators who think they are chatting with minors. They chat in a sexually explicit manner, which in some states is illegal. And sometimes these people send pictures of their privates. Gross again. But because it is illegal, that's how the cops can catch these suckers.

-Once contact is made between the decoy and the predator, the decoy tries to get the predator to come out to the house that NBC has rented out and when they go, that's when the fun starts.

-These disgusting perverts walk up in the house thinking they are going to get some from a minor, when little do they know....all of America is about to start laughing at their pathetic asses. So they walk up in the house and remember the whole house is filled with cops, security, NBC producers, Chris Hansen, and of course someone who sounds as if they were 12-14 years old so that once the predator comes in, the predator believes a minor is in the house. That's how they reel 'em in!

-Once these predators are inside, they walk to the kitchen where there is a table and stool and they sit down waiting. As they are waiting, Chris Hansen comes in through a door and scares the crap out of these guys. He approaches them as tells them to have a seat and tries to talk to these nasty men.

Chris Hansen also has the chat log between the pervert and the decoy set up by Perverted Justice. So if the idiot in red tries to lie, Chris Hansen will put his sorry ass on blast!!! For example:

Chris: How old did the decoy say she was?

Idiot: Oh, she said she was 18.

Chris: You sure about that?

Idiot: Yes! 18!

Chris: I have the chat log here and it CLEARLY states her saying she is 13.

Idiot: Oh, well....hmm.

Chris engages conversation between this guy and many others and lots of times you hear the idiots say they were just visiting, they weren't really going to have sex with the minors they thought they were talking to (oh, these men also brings condoms, lube, alcohol, toys. Yes, it's great TV), they were making sure the minor was OK. Then once all is said and done Chris says "Well, there's something you need to know. My name is Chris Hansen and I'm from Dateline NBC and we're doing a story on men who prey on minors online." The look on these men's faces are priceless.

These men are arrested and booked for different charges such as soliciting minors online for sex, transmitting pornographic images to a minor, and others. Remember, the whole point for this documentary is to arrest pedophiles in America, embarrass the hell out of them, and make sure they are put through hell. Mission Accomplished, NBC.

You can watch reruns of "To Catch A Predator" Sunday nights starting at 10pm on MSNBC. Holla!
