On May 15, 2012, New Zealand Television 3 showed a video, and as a result, the reputation of all New Zealand domestic cleaners was ruined!
Here`s what it looks like. On the Target show that day, a video was shown:
A male cleaner enters the stranger`s home to do the cleaning. When he is nowhere, he looks for shorts in the drawers and laundry baskets, opens a computer to watch a small movie, and then in front of the computer, while listening to shorts and flying a plane... .
After the broadcast of the program, the outside world was an uproar and denounced one after another. Is this someone else`s house for hygiene?! It`s called obscene! Sexual harassment! That`s disgusting!
In addition, there are a lot of people wonder: how is this picture captured? Is the TV station "fishing" or setting up? Has the cleaner been punished?
Recently, Catie McDonald, a producer in charge of the show, was interviewed by New Zealand media spinoff. Through her words, the mystery was finally solved. Here`s her README ~
At that time, I was a schedule manager and a background actor. I called the cleaner and said to the cleaner, "my carpet is dirty. I need cleaning. Can you come over?" When the janitor arrived, I would walk away on some excuse, such as "go to college" or "meeting".
Our program is to find out whether the cleaning company is responsible for doing the cleaning. I picked three companies at random with yellow pages.
A lot of people thought we picked 20 different people and then put the least responsible 3 on TV, but we had so much budget.
At that time, the house was rented by the Target program for three months. We did some decorating, the house looked like a couple of people renting together, and some of our staff still lived in it.
Many of the props in the house are ours. Like the old clothes in the wardrobe, the pictures on the wall. Of course, we are most concerned about the underwear in the laundry basket, rest assured, it is pure props, may be bought by Kmart, are new, not worn.
I remember this faulty cleaner as the last cleaner. After filming the cleaner, the whole house was locked. I was also forbidden to go again because the police thought it was unsafe for me.
The cameras are so well hidden that we find specialized technicians to install them, very covert, and the cleaners can`t find them.
While shooting, the technician hid on the ground floor of the house and contacted us as he photographed. At the time, the technician texted us and said, "he`s digging. He`s rummaging around."
At that time we thought: yes, this episode is going to get hot..
Then we received another text message: "Oh, no, the situation is worse."
To be honest, to do such an experiment is obviously a test of human nature. Expended manpower, material resources and financial resources, finally photographed the violent picture, make sure the reporter did not actually steal to laugh out at that time?
Let`s take a look at the reporter`s memories:
The technician is only responsible for recording the picture, and will not alarm the other party. When the picture is finished, it will be our business. We had a big meeting to decide whether to broadcast it or not. In the end, we decided to broadcast it.
We met when we were waiting in the house for the cleaner to come. He looks very friendly.
Then I thought: if a person is strange, I think what I can see, I can feel, "what is he going to do?"
But I had no doubt at that time that this man was fine.
Many people think that the Target program set up a set-up, and asked: "you do not think it is not appropriate to set up a trap."
I don`t think so. The house is ordinary, the laundry basket is normal, and he overdoes it himself.
If not exposed, he would do the same to other people`s homes.
Finally, the cleaner was charged with several minor offences. For example, steal other people`s Internet, and finally do community services. I think this punishment should be enough.
If the cleaner`s behaviour was disgusting, the producer`s other story was terrifying towards the end of the interview.
Now let`s listen to the producer`s story ~
At that time we did a show to investigate the flooring people.
In an old house, we made a small piece of space in the laundry to lay that plastic floor.
In common sense, flooring people should come twice, once to prepare the ground, and the second to be laid. But there was a man, again and again, running into the house, and every time he asked me to leave the keys to him.
We saw him crawling through the front door to the bedroom over and over again, sometimes stepping on the floor with his toes on the floor, chanting "hello,hello" in his mouth, and he was crawling up and down the hallway again and again. He stared at the bathtub and kept touching the water switch.
We were eager to figure out what he was doing, but no one could figure it out.
Later, the show was on television, and the audience saw the strange things he was doing.
In the end, about a week after the program was broadcast, we received a letter from prison, the man who used to write to the television station.
He said in the letter: "This person is testing "night-path" (night road), he is looking for a way, so he can climb to someone else`s bedroom at night, and will not ring the floor, so he will Come back and forth and climb on the floor!"
Well, sure enough, the master is in the folk, oh no, the master will be in prison!
Well, after saying so many strange and strange things today, don`t be scared. You still have to keep loving the editor, oh, no, no.
