They stated at the very beginning of the program that it was complete fiction and for entertainment only. Once I read that, I only watched the next 2 minutes and changed the channel.

I was quite interested in it from all the commercials they showed days before the show aired. If anyone had started watching the show after the first 30 seconds and the disclaimer about it being fake, they would have thought it was a true documentary.

I didn't think that was Discovery's type of program. Hopefully they don't do more of it.

Wonder how many people tuned in late and thought it was real. Reminds me of those rags you see at teh check out counter or the grocery store.

I believe the Politically Correct term is "Cashier" and not "rag".

Pretty cool concept and done quite well. Obviously not real, but presented in a way that if you didnt see the start you could believe.
