James and Laurie Ryan didn't think it was very funny, either.

The Washington couple has slapped MTV and the Hard Rock hotel-casino with a $10 million lawsuit. The couple said they were given a room with hidden cameras.

Their reaction to finding what looked like a corpse was filmed for the MTV series "Harassment." When they tried to leave the room, two actors posing as security guards forced them back inside.

The show's host finally emerged to reveal the gag. The Ryans claim their privacy was invaded. No comment yet from MTV or the Hard Rock.
