This show is usually hit or miss with the scenarios they set up. The show used to be a special that they would do every so often but since it's picked up in ratings, it's become a weekly series. This week in particular, they're exploring wild and out of control kids in public restaurants, parents requesting their teens to get botox, and the repeal of "don't ask, don't tell". There is usually at least one topic that's good for discussing with friends, to see what they would do or how they would react, and this week has got it.
They have 2 actors dressed in fatigues at a restaurant, openly showing each other affection. They then have a 3rd actor discouraging the soldiers in order to get a reaction out of the other patrons. Just about everytime that third guy starts telling the soldiers "don't disrespect the uniform" and "don't do that in public" most customers ignore at first while glancing out the corner of their eye, but eventually one brave soul stands up and defends the human rights of the 2 and tell the guy to keep it movin. The scenario even ups the ante and has a 4th actor portray a waitress and either support the soldiers or agree with the 3 actor looking down on it. They even switch between male and female soldiers and get the same results. It's one thing to see a same sex couple show each other love and affection, happens all the time, but put them in military uniform and it's supposed to upset us? Unless it's illegal, like a 34 year old man rubbing and kissing on a 5 year old, I don't feel a couple is wrong for PDA. If it bothers someone so much and they can't turn away from it, don't make a scene, it's not worth it. So they ask, "what would you do?", if you saw that at your local restaurant.
