Unfortunately, I've willingly subjected myself to a Sunday Marathon and volunteered for the spectator sport of Predator-Nabbing. After viewing an unarguably unhealthy amount of Dateline's hilariously repetitive "investigative journalism," I've noticed… Continue reading Chris Hansen VS Predator: Requiem
