I haven't laughed this hard in weeks!

Apparantly Dateline NBC (The same people who bring you To Catch a Predator) tried to send one of their reporters undercover to sneak into the Defcon Hacker Convention to try to get the attendees to admit to committing e-crimes while being secretly video-recorded.
The organizers of the convention found out about this plot ahead of time, and set this female reporter up in a very embarrassing way.
Don't forget to look at the YouTube video linked to in the article. It was taken by an attendee, recording the stupid woman getting busted, and being chased out of the convention to her car by a hundred nerds asking her questions as if they were reporters. The look on her face was priceless. I thought she was going to break down and cry!
