@down4whatever2009 : I didn't actually record it myself, I downloaded a collection of Louis Theroux episodes and just saw it missing on the tube.

I love the classic Louis Theroux technique here at the 7-8:00. Whenever somebody says something negative about Louis he doesn't drop it until someone says something nicer/supports him. I swear he does it in every documentary I've seen from him. XD

@theryan777 If you think they're bad, watch the wrestling episode with the amateur wrestlers cutting themselves to shreds for their audience (who even bring their young children to watch)
