You’ve been framed, child abuse?

**Daveyone** · 25th-March-2010

I am a fan of Harry Hill but have long had misgivings of ‘You’ve been framed’ even when it was introduced by the late Jeremy Beadle (pictured). I have always been concerned when children and often animals are subjected to dangerous stunts for the sake of a £250 prize, and yes I do believe many are staged and not just caught on camera in the course of events and wonder why parents would consider doing this.

I was particularly dismayed at the last episode when it appeared a small child in a high chair was being forced to eat chili beans just to raise a laugh at his reaction by the parents…WHAT?
Can’t be right, what do you think?

I love Harry Hill, his show is the only one I won't miss on TV, he deserves all his comedy awards, he never fails to make me laugh.
Now YBF is a different matter, he's just narrating in that, I don't hold him responsible for the show or the videos. I like YBF, I've learned when to turn away, like when there is someone on a motorcycle or a horse, I can't watch, but most of them are funny, some are utter garbage, like an old woman dancing without anything funny actually happening.
I missed the one with the child and the beans, and I agree that some are definitely staged, I'm always left asking things like, "Why film yourself lifting weights?", or "Why film a man on a ladder washing a window?", who sees these moments as Kodak moments? I certainly don't.

The show has been going for years, yet it's still only 250 notes for a video, it should be at least a grand by now.

EDIT: I wanted to mention, I just remembered that I was pissed off a few weeks back when one of the videos was a small child/toddler splashing about in the bath, I thought it was very strange that anyone would film their child in the bath, maybe it's just me, but my son will not be in front of a camera unless he is properly covered.
