I read an interview with the first executive producer of America's Funniest Home Videos years ago. He couldn't handle working on the show after a couple of years. Sooooo many videos sent in that were nothing for than staged child abuse just so someone could win $10,000. Kid (pushed) falling down stairs! Kid almost drowning in pool! Kid crashing bike while riding down big hill!
As Mel Brooks said, "Tragedy is when I cut my finger. Comedy is when you fall into an open sewer and die."
