Yep, getting tased still hurts

In the name of informative demonstration, KMBC Channel 9’s Lara Moritz sacrificed a man to the news gods in the latest and dumbest Taser stunt (watch it here).

Yes, Lara, 50,000 volts (or 1,500 volts, depending on who you believe) does hurt.

Moritz broke form and allowed a woman named “Wendy” to shock a man named “Lonnie.”

“Go ahead an Tase Lonnie,” Moritz says calmly right before Wendy points the Taser, pulls the trigger and Lonnie screeches. Oh, that’s how it works. The more you know .. I guess.

Sacrificial lamb Lonnie confirmed the obvious afterward: It hurts.

Lonnie, hope you get a little something extra in your paycheck this week.

Makes me long for the days of To Catch a Predator stings.
