I dislike (perhaps hate) this "Bear" guy, I think that in time, he is going to cost lives, in attempt to emmulate his antics.
I've said it before.... Bear does some idiotic things but, c'mon, it;s a comedy show for crying out loud! There isn't any reason for anybody, anywhere, to worry about whether his show will cause "someone", "somewhere" to hurt themselves. Boneheads are going to hurt themselves, with or without Bear Grylls.
I, for one, am tired of people worrying about my personal safety... worrying so much that inane laws and ordinances are passed making sure that "I" don't hurt "myself". Hey, if I want to drive away from McDonalds with a cup of hot coffee between my legs, that's my business. The fact that McDonald's now has to do everything short of putting a frappin NEON SIGN on their coffee cups to hopefully avoid a lawsuit is a direct result of people "worrying" about whether Bear Grylls will "cause" somebody to do something stupid.
To me, his show is entertaining. I'd love to have a thread where, every week, I could post things along with the rest of you like "Did you see him run down that canyon? What a slopehead!"..... but what would be the point? He's having fun. It's Hollywood.
...And, I'm surely not going to trash Stroud. He works too hard at trying to show what it would be like to be stranded in his situations. I'm going to continue to watch both of those shows..... and by God, I'm going to love it! <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
