learmy (12/25/2015) [-] Mythbuster was staged. It was scripted in the same way that any other show was scripted. They are obviously scripted and it's easy to tell because the acting is so bad.

Well yeah it's reality TV. If it wasn't staged it would be ******* boring. Obviously a lot of the reactions they had weren't fully scripted but if you didn't realize that the totally legit conversations kari and the 2 dudes were having were scripted you're probably retarded.

edgecutter (12/25/2015) [-] Lately, I'm hearing people go on about "How Mythbusters was scripted"
Like...
What do you exactly mean?
Of course there's a certain script to follow, but how do you go about staging physics experiments? Sure, you could stage social experiments, but I don't remember Mythbusters doing any in the first place.
Like, how do you stage an explosion?
"Okay, Mr. Jerry Can. We want you to act like you're exploding. No real explosions, just merely pretending."

megapepsifreak ONLINE (12/26/2015) [-] it;s just the television element, if you get scientist or propmaker working to gether on say a movie behind the scenes i sincerely doubt they would hangout on the weekend. as well as the two are VERY different people that probably don't see eye to eye on a lot of things.
like adma is all for the story telling but jamies all about the facts

The thing is, it might be that it is allowed on the network, but it might not fit with Mythbusters. The show is characteristically very lighthearted, and doesn't take things too seriously. I haven't seen all of the episodes, but none of the episodes I've seen have used live animal test subjects for anything, and they certainly haven't killed (I know they didn't kill the mouse, but you get my meaning) anything.
Imagine you're watching an episode of mythbusters. They shoot some banana peels filled with plastic explosive at a test dummy to see if potassium improves explosive radius or some **** . Then "Meanwhile, back at the mouse monitoring station" *Brutalised and gored mice*. It doesn't make sense in context.
Hey, maybe my opinion's wrong though
TL;DR: It's not about what's allowed on the network, it's what fits with the show.

mrwalkerfour (12/25/2015) [-] kinda pointless experiment of course starving mice will eventually attack and eat each other. what else would they have done?

fantasticfox ONLINE (12/25/2015) [-] They weren't testing to see if mice would turn cannibal
they were testing to see if a box was more nutritious than sugary cereal

mrwalkerfour (12/25/2015) [-] well you dont need to test with mice for that, we know cardboard has no nutritional value, well not enough that you should eat it anyways
and any animal behaviourist would have known that mice wont eat cardboard as a source of food regardless. mice dont look at cardboard and think "i could eat that" so the result was predictable. the mice would starve to death or resort to cannibalism.

I watched a documentary the other day about the siege of Leningrad during WW2. I found it amusing that they talked on and on about how the Russians in the city stood together, and famished fought off the Germans (or well, rather withstood them). What they never mention in documentaries is the fact that there was widespread cannibalism in Leningrad towards the end of the siege, and that a bunch of people were indeed very fat as it concluded.
Thought it was relevant as that may also be something that is censored. And also cannibalism.
