Rocking out,
There was a time when a small magazine clipping of the great British adventurer, Bear Grylls, used to hang above my bed. What he lacks in size he more than makes up for in courageousness. He's a man and he rocks.
Discovery Channel HD is an excellent viewing experience, let alone the appearance of two great television heroes: Will Ferrell and Bear Grylls. I've been watching Man vs. Wild on reg for a couple of years now and have never been so captivated. Expectations among my contemporaries were very high, and the hour long program didn't disappoint; the brilliance of Ferrell's animated excitement drew on a great dynamic with the risk-blind grylls leading the way.
If you have not had an opportunity to see some of the episode, you should try and see some highlights; as you can see from the picture above Ferrell's appearance is reason enough to check out some youtube action: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zEcK8DDL2bw
Let me know what you think.

Dustin,
First time writer, long time reader. Love the blog bro.
I have to say that I agree with your comments on Bear, although not entirely. Also, I have some ideas to contribute with hopes of hearing your thoughts.
First, Bear Grylls is also my hero. I wish I was him....or at the very least, I wish I could hang in the wilderness with him (in a completely non-gay man-friend situation). He really is a man Dustin, and yes, he Rocks with a capital R. You nailed it right on the head.
The Will Ferrell special was among the best hours of television I have ever seen in my 23 year-old life. Ferrell's face/facial expressions alone make the show worth watching. I laugh every time I look at his face and I'm pretty certain his funny looking face is the reason he's famous, or funny at all.
Back to Bear, the show should be called "Bear vs. Wild." I like how the show's concept is extremely arrogant, yet Bear is completely humble. The man is going into the wilderness to fight Earth, and he wants to win. The show is called Man vs. Wild...Bear is man, and Wild is Earth. Maybe the show can be called "Bear vs. Earth." I'd watch that shit for sure. I would compare the arrogance of his show's main purpose to Bobby Flay's piece of shit show Throwdown. "I could win, I might even lose....(at creating better recipes that people who have spent their entire lives perfecting)...." What an asshole. And you know what?...I hope Bobby Flay loses every time because I hate that asshole and his garbage television shows.
And that right there is the difference between him, and a real man like Bear Grylls: I want Bear to win...every time. It's mostly because he's the man, but also because he's facing off against Earth, which is way cooler than going up against random people who think they're getting some sweet publicity from being on Food Network. Those poor people.
"I could win, I might even lose..."
Asshole.
Basically, I hate Bobby Flay. I hate his stupid ginger hair and complexion, and I hate is ginger persona and attitude. Conan's ginger, and he's cool as hell. What's the deal?! Flay is the one famous person I would punch right in the face if given the opportunity with no consequence scenario (which will never happen...ever....to anyone....trust me).
Let me know what you think.

Rocking out,
Haha, thanks for your contribution Jacob I really enjoyed reading your comments.
I would have to agree with everything you wrote, but unfortunately I do like the way Bobby Flay cooks. I guess most people must think the same way and that's why he's still on TV, but all this considered he is an arrogant fuck. I would like to see him throwdown for real with one of the fat old men he challenges and get his ass kicked. Hilarious!
Anyway I'm sure we'll have plenty more examples of this in the future.
Yes, fine, Bobby Flay is a great chef, I agree. But shouldn't that be a given? I mean the guy's a Food Network star....he better have some pretty sweet kitchen skills, right? he's still a complete tool.
Agreed about the asskicking. They could put that on PPV... I'd pay to see Flay get thrown down....literally. I'd pay a little extra to see some blood.
If they were to put that fight up on PPV there would no doubt have to be a double party pan of wings sitting on my kitchen table.
