Perhaps the Guinness Record for Stupidest, Metaist Event Ever
It's moments like this that make us sad we don't watch daytime TV. If we did, we would have known earlier about Live with Regis and Kelly's Guiness World Record Breaker Week, which we're sure is simply riveting.
Yesterday was inverted stair-walking — that's how long it takes to climb 77 stairs on your hands — and today is watermelons broken using your head. But, because this is all pegged to Regis Philbin's recent supplanting of Hugh Downs as the man with the most time logged on television, the flagship events of the week is Suresh Joachim's attempt to break the TV-watching record, which currently stands at 50 hours, 7 minutes.
Suresh was on the show on Tuesday, but it turns out we haven't missed the exciting. Live is offering a live webcam feed of his ongoing effort. Yay, webcams! Now we'll all have the chance to watch the guy. Watching TV. While on a TV show. To break a record about watching TV.
Surely this is why Al Gore invented the internet.
