While I'm impressed that Suresh Joachim has about 30 world records to his name, I'm not so impressed by his latest feat. Actually, I'm surprised the bar hasn't yet been set higher. Can you believe the Guinness world record for consecutive TV watching is only 72 hours? Sure, there's sleep deprivation involved, and you need a toilet in the vicinity of your screen, but that seems like kind of a wimpy record. And how did he break it while watching 24? Was it a televised marathon? If he was watching DVDs, does that even count since it wasn't a live telecast?
Probably worst of all, Joachim is a Sri Lankan living in Canada. What happened to America's best couch potatoes? Why don't we have this record? My faith in a fat and happy America has been shattered.
