Derren Brown. The push.

Anyone see it last night. Can understand the underlying message with regards to the majority of people being duped into doing anything if their respective environment and peers provide the situation that makes it difficult to think for yourself.I still call bullshit on the programme itself.My gut feeling is the people being conned were acting the part fully. I was duped into watching it by the other half btw. His programmes don't interest me normally.

You have to be very weak to do what he says.

The biggest con/dupe is on the audience as they are paid actors in my opinion.

Up to the point where he was asked to move the body I would have told him to f-off if It was me in that position.

I suspect a lot of a lot background checks happen to the people they pick and in this instance it was people who usually follow direction/orders with little or no questions as to why.
