A lioness attacks a woman and almost kills her under the eyes of the audience. Men and women fall from great heights and are exposed to injuries, bruises and fractures. Bullying over “body shape” and ridicule of “clothes,” and exposing the “private life secrets” of the participants. This is how the “prank” programs crossed all red lines. It not only threatens the safety of guests, but also affects “the safety of society,” as experts explain to Al-Hurra website.
Indignity and sadism for the sake of “profit”
On Sunday, the Egyptian sports critic, Abdel Nasser Zidan, indicated that he suffered a “fracture in the shoulder” while filming an episode of the program “Ramez Gap from the Other,” and that he was subjected to “insults and insults,” and his intention to file a lawsuit regarding that.
In conjunction with the episode’s showing, Zidane wrote on his account on the website:FacebookDuring the episode, he suffered a double fracture in his shoulder, and was forced to complete the episode despite the injury. He denounced what he said in the introduction to the Ramez Jalal program, describing it as “disrespectful and inappropriate… and it contains insults and insults.”
Consultant psychiatrist, Dr. Jamal Farwaiz, explains that these programs are “not comedic” but rather “situations aimed at provoking a person and bringing out the worst in him.”
Exposing people to danger, intimidating them, and causing terror in them is “not a funny thing,” and what appears in these programs is “humiliating and sadistic contempt, insulting people, and humiliating them,” according to Farwaiz’s statement to the Al-Hurra website.
For his part, Professor of Political Sociology, Saeed Sadiq, points out that the TV channels and stations that show “celebrity prank programs” are commercial advertising stations that are interested in attracting advertisements.
The sociology professor explains to Al-Hurra website that these “laughing programs” receive celebrities who agree in advance with those in charge of the work, receive a large financial return, and sign prior written approval for the show.
These programs aim to “entertain and make the audience laugh at celebrities,” and therefore the injuries and reactions of the participants “give credibility” to those in charge of the work, and attract an audience that wants to be entertained and watch celebrities in “embarrassing situations, even if they are fabricated,” according to Sadiq.
Physical and psychological abuse and intimidation
In a television interview, the Egyptian artist, Somaya El Khashab, launched an attack on the artist, Ramez Jalal, due to the health problems she was exposed to as a result of her participation in the prank program “Ramez Jab Min Al Akhir.”
The Egyptian artist revealed that she filed lawsuits because of the severe injuries she suffered while filming the program.
Al-Khashab confirmed that she “had to enter the hospital the next day of filming the episode, in order to check on her physical safety,” adding that she was “surprised that a number of participants were admitted to the hospital as well.”
When she went to the hospital, they told her that she was “not the first case” who came for treatment because of the program, and that there were three cases with injuries that had been received during the previous day, and the least injury was “bruises on the body.”
Commenting on this, the lawyer, Dana Hamdan, explains that exposure to fractures or wounds and bruises is considered a “crime of harm,” and a criminal lawsuit can be filed.
The period of absence from work or treatment for the injury determines whether the case is a “felony or misdemeanor,” and thus the “punishment” is determined, according to her interview with the Al-Hurra website.
On Saturday, the Lebanese artist, Dominique Hourani, published, Video Because of her appearance years ago, in the prank program that was stopped from publication, with Muhammad Al-Sayrafi, where she was attacked by “Lioness”.
The lions’ trainer threw a large scorpion into the Lebanese artist’s hair, causing her to scream loudly, which caused the “lioness” to get out of control and attack Dominique.
Hamdan points out that intimidation falls within the category of “moral damages,” and can be financially compensated through civil justice, not criminal justice.
In the presence of a contract…does the victim have “legal rights”?
Somaya Al-Khashab, as well as Abdel Nasser Zidane, indicated that they will take legal measures once morest the Ramez Jalal program, while there is a “contract” between the two sides, so what does the law say?
In the event that there is a contract between the program management and the guest who was the victim of the prank, Hamdan explains that “in this type of contract, there are clauses that exempt from responsibility, but jurisprudence and jurisprudence specified this type of exemption and did not make it comprehensive.”
She adds: “No one can completely or partially exonerate himself from the consequences of his actions that violate the laws or his grave mistakes by placing a clause that denies responsibility or reduces its impact, and every clause included for this purpose is essentially invalid because a person does not have the right to negate the consequences of his impermissible actions.” Which he does intentionally.”
However, if the damage occurred as a result of an “unintentional act” resulting from negligence, lack of caution, or an unintentional error, then the person who caused the damage can place a “clause denying its consequences” that exempts him from responsibility, according to the lawyer.
This clause is legitimate, but this exoneration is limited to material damages and not to damages to a person’s life and personal safety, according to Hamdan.
Psychological and societal disasters?
Dr. Froese warns that teenagers imitate these pranks, especially on social media sites and TikTok, which may cause “disasters.”
A teenager may drop someone into a “hole or water,” then taunt him and film him, to the point of viewing, and he will be justified at the time: “I saw that on a prank show,” according to the psychiatry consultant.
Some people who are exposed to pranks may “suffer from chronic diseases such as high blood pressure or diabetes,” and at that time one of them may be at risk of death, Froese adds.
He sends a message to those in charge of “prank” programs, saying: “Whoever imitates you will not choose the guest or agree with him in advance, and will do so to an ordinary person who has no fault other than being a victim of another person who loves watching your programs.”
In a related context, Sadiq points out that prank programs sometimes witness “transgressions that embarrass the participants and arouse criticism from the public.”
It is also possible that some people will imitate these pranks, which might lead to major problems, according to the sociology professor.
