I wish I could say I was surprised, but I’m not. Look at all the game shows that involve doing disgusting things, or embarrassing things, or just plain stupid things. And several of these shows involve a contestant just pulled off the street like this, rather than someone auditioning for a traditional game show. Hell, there’s even a prank show where the whole point is to do stupid shit to people and see how far they’ll let you go, and they don’t even win anything! Why wouldn’t these shoppers assume this was on the level? @anon47741163 is right. People have been trained to comply with this sort of crap, not just by psychologists and politicians, but also by popular media.
