Back in the mid-00s when Chris Hansen’s To Catch a Predator reigned supreme on Dateline NBC, the primary form of jailbait were Internet chatrooms that lured in dirty old men by the droves.
Social media has since provided alternate and more intense breeding grounds for cradle robbers to prowl which is why the 56-year-old journalist was to revamp the show to meet the needs of today’s modern-day pervert.
Predator hasn’t aired since 2008 but its popularity with said social media has grown into folk legend. On that basis alone, everyone’s favorite party pooper has changed the name of the show to Hansen Vs. Predator and is looking to crowdfunding to make it happen.
“Most of them don’t even know that I’m no longer with NBC News,” Hansen tells the Los Angeles Times, who actually left network in 2013. “When we did it before, there were chat rooms on AOL and Yahoo,” he said. “Now there are 22 ways to communicate online.”
Contributors to the Chris Hansen Hansen vs. Predator Kickstarter campaign will be blessed with a custom mand T-shirt, a coffee mug or an invitation for a private screening of Hansen vs. Predator with Hansen and the film crew. (What?)
