Kidnapping
I was watching the show Six Degrees on Discovery Travel & Living the other day. (We don't have a set-top box, so we only get about 6 English language channels, so there aren't always a lot of choices for programming!) Basically, the host of the show travels to a city and his or her goal is to walk around, meet 6 people there and learn about what they do there. Anyway, this one was set in New York City and the host was (I think) British. One of the people (actually it was a group of people) that he met had a business where people in the city paid him to break into their apartment, kidnap them, and rough them up a bit. People PAY him for this service? It seems like it was a fairly lucrative business-he has several employees to help him undertake his "missions." Does this seem odd to anyone else??????????? One of the "victims" that the host interviewed was saying how a service like this helps people learn to deal with their fears. Talk about niche marketing...

You're totally making this up! I do not believe you!...Oh, wait a minute...New York City...never mind.
ReplyDeleteHey sounds interesting to me ... get paid for breaking into some one’s place ... I should think of some thing on the same grounds here… may be I will have my angels back in action ... “Charlie’s Angels”
ReplyDeleteHey Lori one more question is u sure people pay to break into their own houses and kidnap themselves? Coz here we have people who undertake similar task but some one else pay for kidnapping and getting rough with some one else they are called UNDERWORLD mafia and may be in New York they are “Gangs of New York” :))
