Do you know who I am? I’m Chris Hansen dammit!$#!
Last night "To Catch a Predator," still quaintly referred to as Dateline NBC (as if anything else on that show matters anymore), brought the Chris Hansen Tour '06-'07 to Flagler Beach, Florida. The usual assortment of creeps and perverts was paraded in front of the cameras for our collective amusement. My personal favorite was the swarthy Egyptian fellow who brought lotion, wilted flowers and a Krackel bar with him. Nice to see that romance isn't dead.
One thing I've concluded is that while many people may find the actual arrests of these people to be the climax of the show, I think it's what I refer to as the "Hansen Money Shot." But the key to the HMS isn't just the confrontation, it's when our intrepid reporter finds ever more creative ways to shoehorn his name into the segment....
