Last but not least: funny or negligent?
You'd have to have the Brazilians' sense of humor. Then they would certainly find this TV joke with the hidden camera funny. Or at least clearly.
At the moment, a video from a Brazilian TV show is making the rounds around the world and spreading at an explosive rate. According to Uproxx.com "The Most Horrifying Prank Ever." With this type of hidden camera, the question "Do you get a joke?" is unnecessary. More appropriate would be "How much permanent damage will you do if we take a joke on you?"
It's nothing new to abuse the hidden camera for dubious purposes. The MTV show "Prank'd" already pushed the boundaries of tastelessness in the hunt for ratings and regularly brought the unwilling participants to the brink of a nervous breakdown. Every expert should be able to confirm that it is not necessarily good for your health to expose yourself to unnecessary shock experiences. Decide for yourself whether you find it funny or negligent. Kurt Felix, the father of the hidden camera, would probably be less pleased if he saw what the entertainment industry has done with his once charming idea. The question: Do they still broadcast in 4:3 format in Brazil? (hae)
