You know reality television has gone too far when criminals are using it as an excuse to get out of trouble. Police have charged two men with robbing two other men from Indiana, PA, after trying to explain to police that they were in the process of filming a reality show called "You Just Got Robbed."

The suspects, identified as 21-year-old Randall Smith of Temple Hills, MD, and 18-year-old Artie Goodwine of Memphis, TN. Both are reportedly students at a technical school in the area, and police say that a victim put one of the suspects in a headlock and recorded the robbery on cellphone. During the robbery, $20 was taken.

That's a hilarious excuse, but nobody was buying that excuse.
