NEVER LOSE SIGHT OF THE FACT that every TV program you watch is SCRIPTED down to the finest detail and is meant to "PROGRAM" you...it's in the name, TV Programming. The script for this show was most likely written weeks before the taping and every detail had to be right or it doesn't go on air. The overlords cannot allow one single frame to go on air that hasn't been scripted and managed and directed down to the smallest detail.
So do I believe this story? HMMMmmm, probably not, and maybe even the kid himself was in on it. After all, it was on TV so it's not what it seems.
The subtext is that these wretched people can and will defile anything that appears as good and wholesome. I'm sure their viewing public got a good laugh out of it, but the subtext is that "good loses, we win, we're naughty and worldly, and we will have our way in the end, no matter what your pious Biblical beliefs are."

My thoughts exactly. It's a "reality" TV show, which means that everything about it is scripted. The reaction prompted was the reaction desired.
Rather than taking the emotional bait, it's better to ask the question of what the purpose of such a display might be.

That and "It's not really the end of the world when something like this happens. If you eat the fruit, you won't really die!"
Exactly. You get it.
