EPIC: The intersection of boredom and stupidity

»www.prleap.com/pr/66146/
BROADBAND CHANNEL DEDICATED TO THE INTERSECTION OF EXTREME SPORTS AND WEATHER

The videos delve into the extraordinary experiences of amazing individuals who are willing to risk their lives in a quest for weather-enabled adrenaline.
So, we now have a channel dedicated to those bored idiots who are willing to risk their lives for cheap thrills. Reality video at its best.

Re: EPIC: The intersection of boredoom and stupidity

You're right. They should quit having fun and go on DSLR and critique everyone all day long. I'm not sure I even understood your insult there. "Bored idiots ... for cheap thrills." So, these thrills are very boring, apparently? And because they're willing to risk their lives, they're idiots? I hope you never get in a car, that might be too risky.

you take greater risk walking into a New Jersey 7-11 at night then you do sky diving.

I spent 28 years in New Jersey and frequented 7-11s. He's right.

Funny, everyone I know including myself seem to be living long healthy lives because of an involvement in said 'extreme sports'. They look healthier, usually have a much better education, and know their mouth from their buttholes when it comes to wilderness survival.

I'd like to see a collection of "extreme weathermen" reporting on hurricanes and taking a 150 MPH 2x4 to the head. THAT would be entertaining.
