 ‘Candid Camera’ Meets Abu GhraibPosted on Sep 7, 2010
Iraq’s take on the hidden-camera show is just terrifying. “Put Him in Camp Bucca” stops celebrities at checkpoints, tells them they are smuggling bombs and hauls them off (in jest) to what the victims think is indefinite detention and possibly worse. American reality TV is positively tame when compared to this Iraqi show that documents the reactions of celebrities who are stopped at checkpoints, told a bomb was found in their car and mock-carted off to detention.

At least these Iranian producers are bringing their audiences closer to “reality” TV than the American producers of “How to Marry a Millionaire”...Which do you want, their realistic precautionary pessimism or unrealistic, dangerous, and unsavory optimism?

We are obviously losing our creative edge here in the states.

Obviously America has finally succeeded in driving Iraqis stark staring mad.
