Giraldo on fox showing a crazy man out in a sailboat

#1 Postby Shinyhead » Sat Sep 04, 2004 3:21 pm

Some poor fool is being covered on Fox out in the intracoastal trying to shoot into a channel it looks like. Considering the conditions he is doing ok, but WTF is he doing out in this to begin with???


By the way, new to the board, I'm up in Alachua, just a bit of freshening wind and light rain so far. Love the board so far.

I'm starting to think that some of these "reality" shows will one day feature a stint where the contestants have to skydive into a hurricane or surf during a Cat 4. I can't believe how ignorant people can be!

This is great! If the guy survives he can be the captain of my first hurricane hunter boat!

Turns out Geraldo is now admitting that no one is out there, he's such a fool.

Giraldo is the "Jim Fowler" of Journalism. If there is ever any dangerous job anywhere in the world Geraldo is getting a plane ticket.

The anchorwoman even asked Giraldo if he would ever get in a sailboat in weather like that and he said "Don't dare me".

How this madman is still walking among the living amazes me.
