Is Discovery's Man vs. Wild a Hoax? {Gadling}

Aug 1st 2007 8:58PM I see that a lot of people don't care about the lies. Let's know fool ourselves, that is what they are...lies. Long Tall Sally, he's lying to your 12 year old. And who will have to explain it to your 12 year old when he finds out his "hero" is a fake?

Now, can Baer survive? Of course he can. He does have the skills/guts. The fact that he says he IS doing it when, in fact, he is NOT shows me he has little or no honor. And as far as his information being a "how to" guide...he has given off so much bad information it is not funny. To his "credit" he has said a few times that the thing he was doing wasn't to be taken lightly. But, in the situation he was "supposed" to be in he makes some bad mistakes and it is passed off as the right thing to do.

And, as seen here in this blog, people seem to not care they are being lied to. If he "manned" up and just admitted that mosty of his show is staged and he isn't actually out there vs'ing the Wild then I wouldn't have a problem with it.
