I’ve seen that show a few times. I find it crazy what some people are willing to go through for fame (like your examples above!)

at the same time, I can’t help but try and think of ways to steal their ideas and use them for messy games in kids church… I loved watching them dive for a wall in their Velcro suits! They had to jump and land inside the shape of an outline on the wall. Very funny

Yep – certainly have read what you are sharing with the world… famous at least to one person (me.) Is it not funny how the full stop is supposed to be inside the bracket there?

High quality and excellant pondering indeed.

Love it!

Dan,

Great post. I came across that game show several months ago. I felt a little guilty sitting there watching it. I’ve been laid up with a bad back for the last 6-7 weeks which has afforded me some time to watch TV. I thought that show was the worst game show I had ever come across until I found a marathon on the Fox Reality Channel called “Who Wants to be Superhero.” The idea was take ordinary people and turn them into superheroes. Complete with corny superhero type tasks, cheesy special effects and storyline including super human sized giants, it made me wonder about the limit of what people will subject themselves to these days for 15 minutes of fame. I started to feel really empathetic towards them until i realized they are only able to do it because I was willing to sit there and watch it. I think it says a lot about our culture in the world today.
