Is Ghost Adventures A Big Joke?

I'm becoming more and more convinced that Ghost Adventures is a prank being played on the show's audience, in the style of Ghostwatch. It's just getting more and more ridiculous. Not like Paranormal State's brand of flaky pseudo-science ridiculousness, but a kind of self-conscious, leg-pulling ridiculousness. Tonight they played at least 1 "EVP" that was completely indecipherable. I mean it was just noise. It had subtitles underneath it to help you hear it, but it really was just noise. Then they also showed a photograph which looked completely normal, while presenting it as 'evidence' of shadow, which again was not detectable.

That's on top of the bizarre 'taunting' they have been doing on the last couple of episodes. Any time there's supposedly been a hanging, Zak Bagans brings in his own personal hangman's noose and carries it on his shoulder or throws it over a rafter (etc). Tonight's episode had the very bizarre (almost comical) moment where Zak locked one of his crew in a shower area of the Old Idaho Penitentiary where an inmate had been "gang-raped to death". They tauted the 'spirits' by offering up the crew member as a gift(!). Pretty freaking tasteless.

When will they pull the punchline?

Ummmmm hate to break this news to you, but ghosts aren't real. That means that ALL ghost adventure shows of whatever title are a big joke - perhaps of varying degrees. No?
