In Episode Three of Who Is America?, Cohen posed as Israeli anti-terrorism expert Col. Erran Morad when he sits down with Moore for an interview. Near the end of the conversation, Cohen tells Moore that Israel has developed a technology to detect sex offenders:
Sex offenders and particularly pedophiles secrete an enzyme for DDHT, which is actually detectable. It is three times the level as non perverts so the phrase sweating like a rapist is actually based on science. So in Israel they've developed a machine that is used in schools to detect anyone coming in and if they detect the pedophile it alerts the law enforcement.
Cohen then waves what looks like a metal detector over Moore. It beeps.
"Did you lend the jacket for someone else?" Cohen asked.

(6,496 posts)Doesn't sound right to me. Googling ddht, that doesn't seem to be a thing. Maybe they meant dht? I'm not seeing anything about a pedophile sweat test on google. Plus it says it detects perverts. What the does that mean? Pervert refers to anyone with abnormal sexual behavior. That word doesn't just refer to pedophiles. Anyhow, since this is Sasha Baron Cohen, I'm assuming it was bullshit.

(6,496 posts)Only looked at the text. As I said, it sounded like bullshit to me, but it wasn't written in a way that clearly said it was bullshit. I think it is important to say that so no one gets any ideas that this stuff is for real. The video probably makes it obvious, but the article seems to be trying to make this sound legitimate. Didn't seem right to me. I always do a bit of research just in case.
