Those of you so blessed as to live among the resplendent glories of New York will know that two dedicated Geeks have just emerged after 123 hours in a plexi-glass bubble in Times Square, watching non-stop movies to win the "Netflix Popcorn Bowl Challenge." Five days, fifty-seven movies, only ten minute breaks for bathroom needs, and no sleep allowed at all. None!
Susan Sarandon delivered their final challenge [her 1991, Ridley Scott-helmed yawn-fest, 'Thelma and Louise',] at the conclusion of which the two hardy winners, Suresh Joachim of Canada, and Claudia Wavra of Germany gained a new Guinness World Record, a lifetime subscription to Netflix, the 'Popcorn Bowl' Trophy, $10,000 each, and butts the size of an outlying planet.
I love movies to a point where the risk of needing a twelve-step program is an ominous daily reality, but I'm not sure whether to envy these people or find them professional help? Watch the video and see what you think...
