"SWAG"

Ah... Swag returns. It was on our screens last night (on Channel five if you don't know) and is back for it's second series.

Basically, the show is the stumbling block of townies everywhere.

Anyone seen it?

When I was in London I saw the Swag lorry, y'know the one with the bars and stuff. With someone inside it.

The lorry should have something more straight forward written on the side, "I've been swagged is quite crap..."

"The reason why you shouldn't steal from lorries."

That would be better.

Yeah, i saw the end of that programme where the woman tried to nick the electrical things out of the lorry then they shut her in it. Was quality, will it be on same time next week?

That show is actually against human rights

*Gulp*

Hope not. EB, I saw a sting set up by a group of police officers in LA much worse than what swag did. They left a wallet placed in the middle of an airport, the man picked up the wallet and got a three month prison sentence.

Besides, SWAG discourages crime.

Sod it, criminals should have no rights.

Hold on, human rights? This is Townies we're talking about, for God's sake. They don't have any regard for the rights of others, so that's a bit of a contradiciton...

It won't be as simple as that, for all they know they could be picking it up to go and take it to the police station.

They won't try and catch people comitting crimes like that as people losing their wallets accidentally isn't a problem for the police.

Pickpocketing is however so you'll see many 'stings' where people go into crime hotspots with a rucksack that is wide open with a wallet on top of the stuff inside.

There was another one in some random country where they got a lorry like the one on SWAG and filled it with TV boxes. Gangs steal from lorries as soon as they stop at traffic lights in this place so as soon as the lorry stops, loads of people climb into the lorry to nick the stuff only to find that there's a massive 'box' inside which is slammed closed and everyone inside is arrested by the officers waiting inside.

Oh, and these human rights are just crap now. I'm pretty sure I could sue all of you on here for something. Like sexual racisim or whatever law they've just made up...

I dont have Channel 5.

I weep for you, you miss out on SWAG and the occasional softcore porn movie.
