its not fake mr smartass ,
of course after its over they sign a release form and are informed it was taping for a DVD
do you notice how everytime it stops when it seems to be getting out of hand ? if it was all staged, they would have staged some physical encounters as well, anyone who knows anything about acting can see just like that , that those peoples reactions are NOT acted out,

Meet The `Amazing Racist'
LOS ANGELES (Wireless Flash) -- You've heard of "The Amazing Race" but a Los Angeles comedian is known as "the Amazing Racist."
When Ari Shaffir isn't appearing on stage at L.A. comedy clubs, he gets his kicks by purposely offending members of different minority and ethnic groups to see how they react to his "button-pushing."
For instance, he gets his kicks walking into mosques and trying to sell shirts that read, "My parents went to Mecca and all I got was this terrible body odor."
Some comedians claim they use racial humor to "break down barriers" but Shaffir says "That's a load. They just want the laugh."
Shaffir filmed many of his offensive encounters for a new DVD, "National Lampoon's Lost Reality," and is amazed how many victims of his racial slurs willingly signed release forms.
Still, he's even more shocked by the reactions of those he left out.
In his words, "I got gays and Asians telling me they're offended that I didn't try and get them -- but they're next."
