Breaking: TV, apparently, is fake

Some Reuters guy was absolutely devastated to discover that reality TV isn’t really real.

Bear Grylls, star of Discovery Channel’s “Man Vs. Wild,” apparently doesn’t drink his own urine as frequently as the show might suggest:

“This British adventurer is now the subject of an investigation by U.K.'s Channel 4, which already has confirmed that Grylls checked into motels on a few occasions when he was depicted on TV having slept under the stars. Other allegations have been made suggesting that the crew that records Grylls in action isn't as hands-off as it might appear to viewers.

“Knowing what we now know, it will be a challenge to watch 'Wild' with the same zeal again.”

Look, if you have a camera crew trailing you, the most danger you're gonna get in is getting bonked on the head by a boom mike, and even that has a foam filter on it so it won't hurt that much. And anyway, how much "zeal" did this guy watch "Man Vs. Wild" with in the first place?

Will someone kindly break it to this guy that there’s no Santa Claus, either? Because I personally couldn’t stand to see his heart broken yet again.
