DON"T these guys watch TV?
Guess not, because NBC News' "Dateline" is back in the kiddie perv business this week with a new episode of its disturbing cyber-sex sting series, "To Catch a Predator."
This Friday's will be the first new episode to be filmed since a Texas county district attorney dropped all charges against 24 men caught on the show during a 2006 taping.
But the show has an undeniable appeal among viewers.

I can’t explain why, but every time I see this on, I watch. I don’t know if it is the satisfaction of watching these pervs squirm uncomfortably, or if it is the joy of seeing them arrested, but the appeal is much the same as watching “Cops”.
Does Dateline do anything besides this anymore? For that matter, does NBC News?
The only thing that could get me to watch Today would be to see Anne Curry eating a bug.
throw fistfulls of $100 bills out a highrise down to the streets and arrest everyone that pick one up
Dateline should change it’s name to Perv-Bait TV.
The news magazine shows used to do a regular ratings grab where they would “accidentally” dump cash from an armored car and film the people who ran off with the money. Haven’t seen one in a while. I assume they stopped because the racial angle wasn’t pretty.
Watching dateline, I just saw a “perp” plead guilty to soliciting a 16 yr. old for sex. THERE WAS NO MINOR INVOLVED!!! Are there no lawyers at all in the audience? Or, are they waiting for their turn to be stung?
