What makes this show a scam is that the sting isn't really meant to grab the men who are looking to harm the children. Nor are they rounding up the dudes who have a history and big time rap sheet of fucking minors. All they are busting is maybe first offenders or just a bunch witless losers who have a hard enough time getting legal pussy on their own.
I mean think about it. For example pretty much everybody that posts on this board have some form of intelligence, education, common sense and sense of humor. By saying that there is also a fair amount of posters who in a perfect world would rather have sex with a Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez or a Pre-18 Olson twins rather than sleep with the current Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan or Paris Hilton. But if anyone was going to try and act on those preferences I doubt that they would send some 14 year old online friend a picture of his cock or leave an online transcript stating his sexual intentions and desires for that same minor.
These dumbasses that they arrest are being roped in because the girl pretending to be underage is talking about being a virgin and wanting to have sex for the first time and that they want to drink a wine cooler for the first time. If anything these guys deserve to get busted for thinking it is so easy to deflower a virgin. Some of us have lived our whole life without ever having virgin sex.
The real "Predators" that fuck minors and constantly get away with it are the ones who go after those under 18 chicks that drink booze, use various drugs, disobey their parents or have parents that just don't give a shit. They are also very sexually active and have slept with multiple classmates, older men and maybe even already had their little lesbian tryst or two also.
