Obsessive Compulsive Disorder is nothing to smirk at. Those that don’t suffer from it may find it strange to witness the mannerisms of an OCD person in action, especially when they happen to freak out about old Chevy El Caminos.
Fair warning: you may find the video’s language NSFW.

I have sympathy for OCD suffers. That’s why I can’t say that it isn’t posible that someone could have such a “ridiculious” affliction.
My problem is with the clip itself. Considering that the El Camino is long dead and most of the cars have been scraped or recycled, seeing one on the road should be a rare occurance. That’s not to say they’re gone for good, but I don’t know of many El Camino (or any old muscle car owner for that matter) who would drive their car around during the winter at the risk of salt corrosion.
Also, when he first see an El Camino and shouts “Holy shit, there’s one right there!” why is two different shots of him that were suppose to happen at the same time? Were the producers of that show setting up two different cameras in stragic postions just to better covey the story of an OCD suffer, or where they doing it so as to maximise “the impact” of his reaction that may have been scripted?
Television isn’t exactly a trustworth medium anymore.
As a native of LA, where the entire city revolves around the entertainment industry (and lots of expensive, fantastic cars), I can assure you that most “reality” shows are scripted. Maybe not an actual line by line traditional script, but the producers “create” situations and hope for explosive reactions. If you were to see the production offices, I’m sure you’d see a storyboard for the series as well as for each character.
Remember, they record countless hours of a show and it’s all cut down to 40 – 46 minutes (assuming it’s an hour show). They have daily, weekly show meetings that map out how they want the shows to go. What conflicts or reactions they want, etc. They also have sponsors to weave into any given storyline, so those situations have to be created.
As far as the above clip, I wouldn’t be surprised at all if I learned that the producers found someone with an El Camino and had him drive by that intersection at a specified time. Naturally, cameras were rolling to get the whole reaction.
I doubt that anyone at the production company or network cares about this poor guy with OCD — they are looking for good ratings and they can usually find volunteers to help these people in exchange for the free publicity.
