I have just one word for those extreme shows on TV like “Survivorman” and “Man Vs. Wild.” WHY?!
I may not be the most stable shelf in the bookcase, but I DO have better sense than to voluntarily be dumped in the middle of God Knows Where for a week with no food, no water, and only something weird like a couple of drinking straws to get myself through.
Sharks, lions, scorpions, monkeys who throw stuff, mosquitos carrying malaria — are these guys nuts or what? I suppose you could build a case that people who watch may learn something that would save them in a similar situation, but really, who among those who would find themselves stuck in the Serengeti actually watch these shows in the first place?
No, I think these guys are on the tube because it’s a lot like watching a train wreck. I just can’t help myself. But I will tell you this: If I’m ever dying of thirst while running away from rabid rhinos, I’m NOT going to try to save the camera!!!
LMAO!! You totally cracked me up! I especially loved this part: “… but really, who among those who would find themselves stuck in the Serengeti actually watch these shows in the first place?” LOL!!
Bear just started a fire in some rolled-up palm leaves to smoke some killer bees into submission so he could steal the honey without getting stung! At least that’s better than grilling lizards on a stick!!!
My husband loves Survivorman so much he’s even a member of his online message boards! LOL! If I was stranded in the wilderness, he is the man (my husband) I would want to be with.
LOL, Jules! I’m sure Michael can build a fire with a rock and a dirty tube sock now!!
I love those shows! We watch both! I’m not outdoorsy…I’m not going to get dropped in the Amazon, the Volcano fields, swamps or the middle of the ocean, but I still love to watch them!
The problem, Deb, is that I love them, too — and it really makes me wonder: Do I secretly hope he won’t come out alive one week? What does that say about me? YIKES!
