I have received a few emails from my cronies alerting me to news stories "exposing" the show as a fake. Here they are from the BBC and of course picked up by that herald of truth (snort), The New York Times.
Survival show faces 'fake' claim
A TV Survivalist Caught Cutting Corners
Okay, anyone who's watched the show should already know this. He doesn't just have one cameraman. How else could they film him from several angles hurtling down those whitewater rapids? And that raft that he allegedly had help with while "marooned" on a Pacific isle, did you see the tiger sharks swarming about him while at sea? It's plenty dangerous enough to go out there in ANY raft. Of course he was going to be damn sure that his at least held together.
Nonetheless the show is still very entertaining and edifying.
Tomorrow the NYT will probably run a story about how pro-wrestling is rehearsed.
Meanwhile the falsehoods littering the Times impoverish, dispirit, and kill untold numbers of real people.

Using one of the NYT's very own images in a slam piece = pwned.
