Encounter #25: Television is evil after all. (Or it is in Mexico when it's called Infarto.)

I don't speak Spanish but I can recognize evil. This is a clip from the Mexican prank show Infarto, and the pranks pulled and produced by these assholes are only bad news bears. Why am I posting this, then, years late to this hateful party scene of evil jokesters and fiendish non-laughs? Cuz I love The Soup and think Joel McHale has perfect timing. (And cuz The Soup came on after The Wire.) Apparently McHale calls this waste of space idiot box trainwreck of a program "the most evil practical-joke show in the world." He's probably right. Although, you know, given that everything looks so staged, it could be the best Brechtian joke ever, maybe, if, well, if it weren't in the business of making people want to die. --RWK
