He must touch you to do his art!
It reminds me of the Belgium show Benidorm Bastards, where victims are surprised by the kind of pranksters pulling off the tricks. See the Deceptology post: Old people prank the young>>
I'm Spazticus was trying to film additional shows in 2012, as part of a series tie-in to the London Paralympic Games, but they got in trouble when they filmed a sequence at a community college where a blind man gropes a naked model.
Shocked classmates called the police.
Said a spokesman for Channel 4:
“During the filming of a prank involving a blind man and an actress playing a life model, who were both in on the joke, some of the art students didn’t see the funny side, so as a gesture of goodwill we won’t be broadcasting the footage.”The college said they were duped into participating, being told that it was a project challenging people's attitudes about the disabled.
Here's the pilot for the original I'm Spazticus (Note that this is UK's Channel 4 TV, so some parts might not be appropriate for Americans.)
I'm Spazticus, 1/4
I'm Spazticus, 2/4
I'm Spazticus, 3/4
I'm Spazticus, 4/4
