anyone watch derren brown the other night???

[djcarlos]

'twas slightly f***ed up i must say!

for those who missed it he designed an arcade game and put it in a pub, it was hooked up to a back room where he hypnotized the first person who went on it with flashes on the screen, the went to sleep standing up, he put him on a stretcher, took him to a studion nearby where he had recreated the game, he woke up in the real life situation where human zombie's were comin towards him and he had a paintgun, he was shootin them goin nuts!

looked like he had well lost his marbles, in fact, they had rolled down the drain, it didnt look like he was gonna get them back!

anyway, derren put him to sleep and put him infront of the game and when he woke he loved the game, thought it was "very realistic"!

very disturbing stuff! anyone else c it?

 

[pip uk]

Yeah - it was really disturbing!!!!

It seemed like the guy really freaked out - not surprised though. You could sense the fear in his voice when he started threatening the zombies and the nervous laughter when he started shooting them.

Gotta say Derren is a master

Really? i had no idea. I do know that a TV program, so long as it classes itself as entertainment, can 'pretend' to be real. The issue came to light when richard and judy did that bogus ghost show. Viewers complained cos they'd been led to beleive it was real but no apologies were made as it was all in the name of entertainment

 

[Rachelj]

yeah I did see it, indeed it was disturbing.

I want to know if he had his permission to do that?does anyone know?

He seemed to take it pretty well when he was watching it back don't you think? I couldn't believe it. 8)

He didn't have permission. But probably waited until somebody smaller than him went on the game so he wouldn't get a slap afterwards. I'd of loved it if he had done that to me.
