Common Sense Note
Parents need to know that Punk'd, both the MTV original and the BET remake, is a reality show about playing pranks on celebs on a grand scale. Jokes range from stealing and illegal gambling to physical altercations, police chases, and blowing things up. There's lots of swearing ("damn," "s--t"; "f--k" bleeped) too. Occasionally pranks involve sexual subject matter, including infidelity and the injury of genitalia. Kids may find these pranks funny, but they don't send the best messages. Viewers of all ages should be reminded that what they see here is produced by professionals and should not be tried at home.
