I have a question....has anyone else seen that ad for the show on Animal Planet about the idiot who went to Alaska to live with the bears and wound up only getting himself and his girlfriend eaten? They show him talking about "I came up here to protect the bears. I'm the only one who will protect them!" *cry* Personally I hope they show what happened to him....

Wasn't their attack actually caught on tape? Seems that I saw something about that when it happened.

According to one Alaska State Trooper I talked to yeah, it was but in the press release they said it was only the audio of the attack- Wouldn't that make an interesting ringtone? :meanie:
 
They called him Grizzly man... aka Timothy Treadwell

Here is the movie which I think will be on Discovery starting in Feb

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0427312/

Dude got what he had coming.. Dont mess with nature. You have to respect wild animals, not pet them like I saw him doing in one of the trailers...
 
A docudrama that centers on amateur grizzly bear expert Timothy Treadwell. He periodically journeyed to Alaska to study and live with the bears. He was killed, along with his his girlfriend, Amie Huguenard, by a rogue bear in October 2003. The films explores their compassionate lives as they found solace among these endangered animals.

GUY: Oh, hi Mr. Bear! Honey come look! He's back!
GIRL: Why's he looking at you like that?
GUY: Maybe he wants me to tickle him? Do you want me to tickle you Mr. Bear?
*footsteps* I think you do!
BEAR: ROOOOAAAARRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!
*Sounds of hippy screams and bones crunching*
GUY: Oh, aren't we playful.....look honey he's trying to pull my boot off! Are you getting this on film?
GIRL: I don't think it's your boot he's trying to take off.....
*dull thump*
GUY: Thanks for putting me down Mr. Bear! Oh are you trying to smell my hair? I've got some new shampo...*muffled, then crunching sound* :meanie:
 
Werner Herzog had the audio tape that records the last moments of Timothy Treadwell and Amie Huguenard as they're killed by grizzly bears. Out of respect for the late couple, Herzog declined to feature it in the film although there is a scene with Herzog listening to the footage with a distraught facial expression.
 
P-

your take is pretty accurate.. Stupid hippie *****.. here is what actually happened from Roger Ebert's review of the movie..

Ironically, Treadwell and Huguenard had left for home in the September when they died. Treadwell got into an argument with an Air Alaska employee, canceled his plans to fly home, returned to the "Grizzly Maze" area where most of the bears he knew were already hibernating, and was killed and eaten by an unfamiliar bear that, it appears, he photographed a few hours before his death.

The cap was on his video camera during the attack, but audio was recorded. Herzog listens to the tape in the presence of Palovak, and then tells her: "You must never listen to this. You should not keep it. You should destroy it because it will be like the white elephant in your room all your life." His decision not to play the audio in his film is a wise one, not only out of respect to the survivors of the victims, but because to watch him listening to it is, oddly, more effective than actually hearing it. We would hear, he tells us, Treadwell screaming for Amie to run for her life, and we would hear the sounds of her trying to fight off the bear by banging it with a frying pan.

I think they should show it. Those two idiots don't deserve any special regard....use them as a teaching case....
 
He met some chick 2 yrs prior to them being served as dinner and she apparently thought living with bears was a decent idea... silly..

Now this is what I might do if I get bored with medicine!!

http://go.reuters.com/newsArticle.j...News&storyID=11040155&src=rss/oddlyEnoughNews

WELLINGTON (Reuters) - A disgruntled New Zealand doctor has turned from pills to prostitutes, winning a license to convert his former medical practice into a brothel.
Dr Neil Benson closed his practice in Coopers Beach, about 155 miles northwest of Auckland, late last year after a dispute with his local health organization over after-hours care, the New Zealand Herald newspaper reported.

Benson, who has been practicing medicine for the past 18 years, said he decided to turn to the world's oldest profession after someone else considered renting his empty medical center to open a brothel.

"I thought, 'why don't we run it ourselves?' It would be a viable business and I was unemployed," he said.

"It's about providing a private service and maintaining confidentiality, which is what my medical practice was about -- so it's not a big leap, really," Benson said.

New Zealand legalized prostitution and began licensing brothels in 2003.

Benson, who said he has the support of his wife and four children, has been granted a brothel operator's certificate and plans to open an upmarket bordello next month named Whalers.

"Everything I have ever done is high quality. The standards of my medical practice were high and that will cross over to the brothel environment," Benson said.

Probably nothing because I had an incredibly awful, emotionally draining med school day. Wish I could write more details but it would violate my "no one can know what school I go to" policy.

Me too. Actually I think today was one a top ten worst day of my life.

I would post more about it but can't either.

Thanks Praetorian for some laughs!

Hang in there socute
 
Well hopefully the month of Feb will be happier/better for beary and socute..

I don't watch the show (no really I swear I don't) but I found this funny. Apparently an EM residency doesn't prepare you well to star in a reality dating show.

"he's about as emotionally developed as a wedge of Brie. "

speaking of...... I LOVE brie. ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm brie

Thanks. It has been so far. Appreciate the happy thoughts.

Oh, and beary - I was busy being a self-involved little brat last night. Hope your bad day wasn't because of your just-started hemepath elective! Hope that's going well!!!

I dunno...maybe. I just don't see where this relationship can get much better because of the fact that she refuses to move away from her parents. I don't know what she is expecting to do once I get into medical school since there isn't a medical school in the town her parents live in. Personally I think a major improvement will only happen when her mother's chain smoking catches up with her. That woman is the only person I would wish a slow lingering death from chronic respiratory failure upon.


Sorry, didn't mean to vent.
