But, the parents were right there, watching on monitors what was going on. Still, kinda fucked up. One teenager, I think she accepted a ride from a guy out in THE MIDDLE OF THE COUNTRY. If it hadn't been a set-up, she would be dead. And in that instance, if I was stupid enough to have gotten in the car and it was a set up, I'd learn real quick.
It's not about whether they were in any actual danger. I just - I can't even adequately describe how revolting I find this idea, even if they're totally safe, even if it's for their own good, even if they learn a valuable lesson, etc., etc.
Seriously, I'm not sure I could ever speak to someone again who did something like that to me.
I'd fail the abduction test. Or maybe that's in my past. I haven't gotten into a stranger's car in years.
I'd never do it in LA.
A fellow Tiramisu fan! Yayness!
I haven't been able to find any in my local grocery store (not that I've looked all that hard) but when I do find it,
nobody
better touch it but me. :)

I had the strangest thing recently - baklava ice cream. Seriously good.
It is seriously sick. Paying people to kidnap your children? Low low... No Buffista would ever!
Baklava ice cream? It sounds like Moose Trail icream... something you would never taste underless slightly drunk.
They didn't pay the guy, it was for the news. And as soon as they got into the car, the guy said, "Dude. You just failed this test. I am blah blah blah."
I completely see how if it were me being set up, I'd be pissed as hell. But, I also see how the parents wanted to make sure the kid understood. And sometimes, it take something that harsh and big.
Paying people to kidnap your children?
It would certainly traumatize the kid which include years of therapy (=money) and distrust.
Ple, did you ever see the Martha Stewart episode where she had on an expert and dealer in vintage linoleum? It was cool because (a) she had these huge rolls of really gorgeous old lineoleum patterns and (b) she was a tall rockabilly chick with tats up both arms and had obviously gotten into the vintage lineoleum by way of retro living.
