Anybody watch Ax Men?

Post by Dmitchell »

I hope that guy isn't a typical Washington diver. :biggrin:

Seriously, there has only been 1 show this season and that guy only get's 1/5 of the hour. He launched his barge, killed the battery, wraps it around a piling, tows it into a piling, tows it into a bridge, Has to have his tender help him zip his wetsuit while already wearing his weight belt then can't sit down by himself. Jumps into the water yelling an screaming can't out swim the current. Then does a forward roll into the water just missed hitting his head on the bow of the skiff.

I didn't get to see the whole episode, but the part I saw with that guy scared me. What a moron. Between screaming at his kid the entire time, really poorly handling his boat, and then running out of gas, I think he should have to fly some kind of warning sign so that the rest of humanity sees him coming and can move. I REALLY wouldn't want to see him in the water.

The show is for entertainment purposes (or is that entertaining porpoises). The producers of the show found gold when they found him. You have to suspend your disbelief when you watch "reality" TV, even more so with Ax Men. Watching him in the first episode got me to set the TiVo to record the rest of the series.

I particularly enjoyed him trying to squeeze his head through his BCD arm.

But as they say in the commercial world, "You don't have to know how to swim. Just how to get to the job."
