Last night, as were trying to prove ourselves adults by staying up past The Boy’s new extended bedtime (WHO STAYS UP TILL TEN ON THE WEEKENDS WHEN THEY’RE SEVEN?!), we were evily enthralled in Dateline’s To Catch a Predator.

A) I don’t understand how men keep falling for this.  It’s not a new concept, one that has generated enough buzz to be worthy of spoofs and MadTV and SNL, and yet men still continuously enter the home of some “decoy” actress who won’t actually look them in the eye.  Do men REALLY have such a distorted view of reality that they think some upscale teen is eager to scrump with some guy missing eight teeth and no shirt?

B) I love how there’s always freshly baked cookies on the table at these stings.  It’s interesting to see which men will munch on them while being interrogated on national television.  One man, in particular (who I believe is not mentally competent), munched on five or so cookies.. and even asked for milk.

C) We watched an episode last night where a man believed he was meeting a 14 year old boy for “oral exchanges”.  If that wasn’t bad enough, the man brought his five year old son with him.  No idea what happened in the end, but I’m praying the child was removed from the home.

D) And the man who munched on a bunch of cookies?  Diabetic.  Soon, he went into diabetic shock and had to be rushed to the hospital.  In handcuffs, of course.
