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.
