"And television watching? Two hundred billion hours, in the U.S. alone, every year. Put another way, that's 2,000 Wikipedia projects a year spent watching television. Or put still another way, in the U.S., we spend 100 million hours every weekend, just watching the ads. This is a pretty big surplus. People asking, "Where do they find the time?" when they're looking at things like Wikipedia don't understand how tiny that entire project is." - Adrian Graham
"North Korea is converting part of its embassy in Berlin into a hostel to earn foreign currency for Kim Jong Il's cash-strapped regime" - Adrian Graham
"When the train service began, a remarkable photograph appeared in hundreds of newspapers, and it eased environmental concerns. The picture, captioned "Qinghai-Tibet railway opens green passage for wildlife," featured dozens of antelope galloping peacefully across the Tibetan landscape, unfazed as the gleaming silver train raced beside them." - Adrian Graham
"The Colombian version was canceled in October after a woman confessed on the show that she had hired someone to kill her husband." - Adrian Graham
I must have too much empathy for strangers, because the thought of this show makes me cringe. I can't even watch Ben Stiller comedies because I feel so sorry for the characters, the movies just make me feel awkward. I think I am in the minority, though, judging by the movies and shows coming out of Hollywood. - Bret Taylor
I'm exactly the same way, Bret. This is the kind of show I'd watch from behind my hands, if at all. I also can't watch Borat for similar reasons. - Kevin Fox
Yeah, I posted this in horror... but the flip side is that no one forces these people to go on this show (that can't always be said of some of the other shows/movies) - Adrian Graham
