Let's keep updating on this story as we find out more:

http://www.cnn.com/2008/SHOWBIZ/TV/12/07/bear.grylls.injured/index.html

He's such a bad ass. Anyone else have more info?

He shouldn't have went to Antarctica. There are no hotels, and more importantly there are no real hospitals. He probably didn't figure that in when he decided to stage these events......

The NSF doesn't look kindly on adventure travel down there..... hope he made it back ok.

reply

Obviously you don't even know why Bear was down there? Obviously not. Simpleton.

I hope that he can heal completely and be able to do more MvW episodes and maybe, he can elaborate more on how people DO get hurt on these situations (but not by getting hurt... this isn't jackass)and kick it down a notch... (not too much... but just enough so he doesn't seem like a clueless idiot running around in jungles... like the haters portray him...)

He was in Antarctica to raise money for a charity while you were in your bedroom jacking off to your Matt LeBlanc poster.

Dipsh!t, I said that because the first line of the first article posted stated, "Adventurer and TV show host Bear Grylls injured his shoulder in Antarctica during an expedition to raise money for an international charity, the Discovery Channel said Sunday."

And, what's with your 'people are so enamored with Bear' sh!t? Does this stem from your jealousy about him? I'm not enamored with him at all, but you quickly accused me of being so. Seems you may have some jealousy...

I just think it's stupid and awfully petty to take shots at a guy who injured himself in Antarctica while promoting alternative energy sources while you (in general) are sitting in your comfy chair. Take shots at the guy for sleeping in a hotel room instead of on some rocks if you will, but it's petty to take shots at him for something like that.

Dipsh:t! Next time read the whole article if your ADD doesn't kick in before you reach the end of the first line.


I took what the article directly stated and used that so that means I have ADD? I like your logic! If he wasn't there for charity, then why did that article say so and why did another article directly state, "had the simultaneous goals of promoting biofuels and other "green" energy sources, and raising money for the charity Global Angels"? Why can I google that charity with Bear's name and get numerous hits? It's a charity he's supported for years.

Why be jealous of a guy who's been proven to be a liar and whose credibility is in the gutter?


Well, it seems you have continually attemtped to trivilalize and discredit everything he's done. One motive for doing so is jealousy. Does it make you feel like a big man to trivialize and discredit everything he does even his work for charity?

Now you make it seem like he injured himself for the sake of promoting green energies. First he was paid to do so, just like any celebrity who endorses anything for money. Second, he injured himself while making camp, not during his promotional duties. It's like saying Jessica Simpson injured herself for the sake of suffering teens when she fell and broke her shoulder on the set of the new Proactiv ad.


You make it seem like Bear flew into Hollywood, got paid thousands to endorse something he didn't care about at all, got injured while slipping on the floor, and then was flown out while he was probably thinking about clubbing baby seals.

PhoChris - Here here. Well stated.

It sure is easy to be an environmentalist when you're getting paid (and paid well) for it.

reply

Why are you still on this message board PhoCris. We get it. You do not like this show. You do not like Bear Grylls. You think he is a fake. Why you promote your hatred for him on the Man vs Wild message board, I do not know. However, I do know your feelings toward him. So why are you still visiting this board. I just looked at the first page of your profile and there are only FOUR posts not dedicated to this show. I went on to your next page and saw it is also filled with posts about Bear Grylls.

If you hate him so much, why do you dedicate what seems to be a great chunk of your time to him. Are you insanely jealous of him? Are you secretly in love with him? Are your 'pretend to be Bear Grylls' sessions in your back yard not enough to fill the void? Whatever it is, it seems very unhealthy.

How many times are you gonna whine about me talking about this issue?


I see what you did there. You took what I said and then applied it to me. Genius! I haven't really whined, but if you want... LEAVE BEAR ALONE! *tears* LEAVE BEAR ALONE!

It had nothing to do with MvW nor the Discovery Channel yet many news reports still say otherwise.


That's great, but I don't care.

Whatever Eddy does with his money is his own business.


Any other amazing insights you wanna bless the world with?

And I think it's cute that you keep whining about somebody who you consider to be a whiner.


Don't care.

I think it's even cuter (or pathetic some would say) to see you so pissed off when the criticisms aren't directed toward you.


Yeah, I'm pissed! Arggh!!! Can you see that? I'm making a really angry face because I'm just so pissed! Wait, why would I be pissed? If you want to think I'm pissed, then run with it. Hulk mad, Hulk smash!

Resorting to insults and name-callings makes it seem like I criticized your dear mother.


Dipsh!t and numbnuts are rather light insults.

You should follow your own advice: "Get over it already."


No.

I'm not whining, I'm correcting inaccuracies in some people's messages and it pisses you off.


Yeah, that's your purpose here... You're here crusading on this message board to correct inaccuracies because it's important work. Very important. Why would you be here crusading? It's not going to do much nor do that many people care. I seriously doubt that Bear reads the crap on this message board. Seemingly, you're here to belittle, trivialize, and minimalize everything Bear does because you have self esteem issues, you're petty, you're bored or whatever your stupid reason is. You still haven't shown that he wasn't there raising money for a charity...

You're the whiner who wants me out of this message board.


Where did I say I wanted you gone? I don't care if you stay, leave or build an ark with your hands.

Most of the dangerous advices were not given during life threatening situation:


From my memory it was or at least there was some other caveat with it. They point out how dangerous it is and how it's basically a last resort. Why do people act like he gives out dangerous and reckless advice without any kind of warning?

- jumping in freezing white-water rapids of class III because it will take you to civilization faster than if you walk


"but only do it as a last resort." Later, he gets out and talks about how dangerous it is to keep going on due to the rapids. Wait, you were talking about a different episode? "Now, rivers like this can be seriously dangerous, and on the whole you do not want to be getting into this sort of river on your own unless it's a real emergency." Either way, common sense should tell you that, hey, it's not that safe...

- climbing down a waterfall because it's faster than going around it


"even with a safety line it's risky." Then, more more stuff about how dangerous it is. Again, common sense alone should tell you it's dangerous to begin with.

- swimming under a log jam with no view of a possible exit because it's lame to walk back


He talks about if you're trapped in that situation, then it's your only real option, but the danger is you don't know how far it would be to swim under it. Common sense should rear its head here.

- jumping from a cliff into a body of water of unknown depth because it's faster than finding a way down


"If you're ever in a situation like this and need to escape quickly". Then, he brought up the dangers a bunch of times. Yeah, it's reckless, but it wasn't presented as reckless as movies (Turistas, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, The Beach, etc...) do it. Those movies present it as basically: grow some balls and jump off that damn cliff, you wuss! Perhaps, you should go crusade against those movies...

- taming "wild" horses because it's faster to travel on horse back than on your own two feet


He said it was a longshot and he was going to give it a try and not, "Ride a wild horse. It's faster!"

And because I am condescending I have to say that you can't even spell douchebag properly. Very sad indeed.


Yeah, it's sad that you were looking for a spelling mistake there. I spelled it that way because some places censor the correct spelling and since nobody was privileged enough to earn that title since I've been posting again, I wasn't sure if this was one of the censorship-happy places.

Who said I was on a crusade?


Oh, so your purpose here isn't to shoot down every single thing about Bear? No sort of accuracy crusade? You're not here to try and expose him as just some money grubbing fraud?

But I'm still wondering why you keep arguing with me if you don't care as well. You're bored? You want to defend Edward because? You want to play tough boy and put me in my place? If you don't care, shouldn't you be indifferent to what I post?


I say 'I don't care' to a couple things and that suddenly means I don't care about anything? Your logic keeps getting better and better, Yoda. My continual posting is a multitude of things. Curiosity for example.

I wonder why the Rockies episode, in which he escaped a fake grizzly attack, used his backpack (and a hidden PFD) as flotation device in ice-cold rapids (with a wetsuit, warm blankets, heater), and abseiled down a cliff using paracord, has been forbidden to air and is missing from the DVD Box set.


I wonder why you're obsessed with Bear... Have you researched every minute detail of his life yet?

So sorry, I should have answered your childish insults with an essay of some sort.


You can dish out insults, but you try to play the innocent victim when you receive one, huh?

Ahh pho still think the rest of the forum can't figure out you are only here to rip on bear. The only one that backed themselves into a corner is you. You say you don't want to rip on bear, but you only make negative comments in every single thread about him. What does that say about you? Now you are trying to back pedal and avoid your inevitable meltdown. I love how you are trying to portray your intelligence with large high school words. Please quit talking about the same thing that is not relevant anymore. What does the stuff you are talking about have to do with bears injury? Nothing. You are a tool.

Therapy is not for everyone, unless you talk to yourself. Oh and think you are a religious figure.

Did Mr. Thinskin get my post deleted or was it just some Nazi admin? Either way, it's rather sad. It appears that IMDB is just another censorship-happy place.

oh theclarkone68, how you make me laugh. Keep up the good work.

reply

This is IMDB's message board. They can remove any post they want to for any reason, or no reason at all.

reply



Pho you are either a fantastic troll, or a complete idiot, but either way you're enough of a douche bag to make my exclusive ignore list. With all the hundreds of jerks on IMDB, you should be honored, to be enough of a bad human being to make the cut.

It wasn't your lack of intelligence, which you so idiotically celebrate, it wasn't you spamming of every comment on every subject of a show you don't even like, and it wasn't your inability to articulate a point in any effect beyond base insults. Nay it was an amalgam of these characteristics and more that show you to be a worthless writer. If you're a 13 year old boy who never made any real friends, I can see where you're coming from, but if you're not, you are a pathetic human. I can only say this knowing you will only learn how worthless you are in the long run, maybe after you grow up.

reply

This shows host is the reason I watch TV. He is a moron, he will get you killed, and he is good to laugh at when he gets injured because of how it happens. That episode where he got stung in the face and was all puffy had me laughing for days. This man is entertainment. Now don't for a second believe that I or anyone else should take his advice because there is a 99% chance it will get you killed.

reply

if you hate bear, dont watch the show, dont post here, just *beep* off like really go post on something you do like. Some people Ill never understand.

reply

This guy is not only a complete moron, but a dangerous presenter of survival tactics. If any IDIOT who watches his show does what h does they will be SERIOUSLY INJURED (not just a shoulder) or KILLED! He looks for shock value and good TV. He jumps over things when he could walk through, he takes risks people should not take if they're in that situation. He eats fish alive (like a cruel piece of garbage) he kills 5 different animals for one day of survival which surprises me that h's doing anything for preservation and environment as he destroys the areas he explores.

If you want good survival info watc Les Stroud (Survivor man). I'm sure Bear hurt his shoulder at the hotel he was staying at while working out in the gym. This faker was caught staying at 3 hotels in one trip and in one volcano episode it was revealed that this wasby a busy highway not a remote area like he said it was.

If you love Jesus Christ and are 100% proud of it, copy this and make it your signature!

Bear Grylls Shatters Masturbation World Record!

It's official, Bear Grylls is the new king of masturbation. In a stunning feat of endurance and determination, Bear Grylls achieved 36 orgasms in a 24 hour period!


Sleeping intermittently during the 24 hour marathon, Bear Grylls remained focused and aroused by his impressive library of pornographic films. With over 400 films in his library and 3 televisions playing movies at all times, he had a continuous stream of footage to aid him in his quest.

It is apparent by the massive development of the muscles in his forearm that Bear Grylls is not your average masturbator. In an interview with UJ reporters after the record setting event, Bear Grylls was quoted as saying, "masturbation for me is a way of life. I've been training for this day since I was 13 years old and I'm happy with my performance today".

This record was formerly held by German Student, Hans Blickstein who achieved 27 orgasms in a 24 hour period. Mr. Blickstein was not available for comment.

When asked what his next world record achievement would be, Bear Grylls said "my immediate goal is to get a bag of ice and some lotion on my penis to soothe the burning".
