I was discussing the Reality TV themed competition with a couple of online friends, and one of them sent me directions to a live feed on the internet, claiming it to be the best reality TV show he'd ever seen.
I tuned in to the feed and saw that it was indeed live footage of the interior of what looked to be a pub, giving alternating views of about 5 cameras installed within.
I saw very little of interest there, simply men and women sitting and standing around drinking. A large transparent water tank at the back of the room occasionally played host to a swim-suited man or woman and occasionally a fully dressed woman would hop up onto one of the rooms two dancing poles and shimmy a little before returning to her friends – nothing spectacular, but I kept watching anyway.
Then I noticed something… All the men were wearing bath-robes. After a little frowning I figured (considering the water tank) it was probably the bar of a swimming spa of some sort, but then I noticed a recurring occurrence. Every now and then a woman would enter, approach one of the men in the room and check his wristband (they all wore those rubber wristbands you get is swimming pools), then lead him into the back room.
This went on for hours (I let the live stream play out in a separate window as I was writing), and it wasn’t until a woman passed through the bar wearing kinky lingerie that I started to wonder about the swimming spa theory.
After a little checking I discovered that the live feed was from the waiting area of a Brothel in Prague! Unfaithful husbands and pervy tourists all being watched live over the internet as they wait for their turn in a seedy knocking shop.
Knowing that made it so funny to watch, the nervousness on the faces of some of those waiting was hilarious. Single men sitting at the bar in a bathrobe trying to look inconspicuous, groups of guys who you’d normally expect to be rowdy all sitting sheepishly barely able to talk to each other – and the look on their faces when someone returns from their ‘business’ is priceless!
Channel Four should commission this immediately!
This is my signature, there are many like it but this one is mine.
