It's like watching those nature shows about animals. They were just "outed" for dramatizing all that danger into the script via editing to make the show more suspensful. Can't stand them. Reminds me of laugh tracks.

The classic is the Disney folk throwing lemmings off a cliff to simulate the non-existent lemming suicide instinct.

An Aussie travelogue maker apparently staged something less ambitious, merely throwing his dog from a helicopter.

You can just imagine what the alpha zebra would say when he sees yet another nature documentary film crew approach his herd:

"Oh, oh. Here they come again. Joe - it's your turn to get eaten by a lion. Sam - you're at the water's edge getting grabbed by a croc. Mary - your stripes really need a touch up. Stay at the back and out of sight, will you. And guys, try to make it look real this time. Remember your impro classes. I want to see rolling eyes and spittle. Okay, Places everyone! Let's do it!"

Why does this remind me of WKRP in Cincinatti... "I really thought turkeys could fly."

Well they can kind of fly. One made it to the second story ledge at our high school. It was pretty funny.

Wild turkeys, yes. Domesticated (read stupid) ones, not so much.

The youtube tag is not for the webpage link, but for the embedded link. See:

I like Monk, The Big Bang Theory, How I Met Your Mother and Life on Mars, before it was canceled. The show I *love* is Friday Night Lights. Simply amazing.

D'oh, I'm getting an old thread warning. Oh well, it doesn't change my picks. :-)
