Kind of stupid, 21 April 2005

The show is supposed to be about cons, but if you know anything about legitimate conmen, you know Skyler Stone ain't even close to being one. Instead of conning people for big payoffs, he develops these absurdly intricate plans to get such "great" stuff as his apartment cleaned and a free meal. With the time and effort he puts into these things he could just as easily (or more easily for that matter)do them the normal way.

It's also worth noting that the disclaimers before and after the show sort of take away from any sense of realism that would be present. They flash them so quick you barely get a chance to read, but it does mention that some scenes are staged and that some parties have been compensated for their appearances.

Some "Con man" Stone is. Don't waste your time and hopefully it'll be cancelled.
