From the Detroit Free Press: You know it's over ...when he's filming you
The idea was simple. Hide a camera. Film someone in an embarrassing situation. At the end, have a nice guy come out and say, "Smile!" and tell the victim it was a setup.
They called it "Candid Camera," and it was so successful as a TV show that it ran, in some form, for more than half a century.
It's off the air now. Instead, we have YouTube, where anybody can create their own "Candid Camera" moment. Last week, a video surfaced and instantly went viral; it had people wondering just how close the person secretly filming you might be.
