    How can anyone not like this? Gives me goosebumps.

    Especially like the S. Hawking part.

    While that's a great ad, in light of a certain other song, I just can't get super excited about it.

    You'll get no argument from me. I would guess Man v. Wild is more popular because of Bear's antics though. I tune it so I can watch him eat a dead camel's instestines and squeeze water out of elephant poo. :cool:

    No kidding. I don't think I've ever watched Man vs. Wild thinking, "Gee, I hope Bear doesn't die out there!"

    he also fails. did you see the arctic circle one?

    He wasted like 10 bullets trying to start a fire! then he could not build an igloo, didn't get any food, and had to be rescued by a native.

    Yeah all the stuff he does just got me to the point where I was like, dude, no one in the Wilderness is ever going to do the crap that he does. I wish they had more survival shows though.
