Comedy Central's series, "CON". What a disgusting POS
http://www.comedycentral.com/shows/con_skyler_stone/index.jhtml





I hate this show. This a-hole goes around conning people and in the process, teaching the youngsters who watch it how to con people.

In one episode, the guy uses white spray paint to make a No Parking sign illegible to avoid a ticket.

In another, he gets to know a guy poolside at a resort and then charges all his drinks and food to the guy.

Yes, Comedy Central compensates people for this crap, but Skyler is teaching people to do this for real. I hate this little bastard. It's not funny, it's just cynical, amoral crap.

1. I hate it for other reasons.
Most of the "cons" are elaborate set ups that require a TV crew, and the small pay-off isn't worth all the effort put into it. Totally unrealistic and unimpressive.

Plus the guy, Skyler, comes of like an arrogant, smarmy prick. I can't stand him.

2. I think his ultimate con was suckering Comedy Central
I think most people would rather rent Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.

3. Hehe - good point.
He's an a-hole.

I hope he squanders it all on whores and drugs, and ends up destitute on the streets after low ratings quickly kill his scumbag "show".

4. The "Bone Dry" Scam Made Me Laugh Out Loud
It's the only ep I watched, and maybe it's just because I find most pron about as erotic as "Bone Dry," but that was funny.
