MAN SETS TV WATCHING RECORD

Alejandro “AJ” Fragoso of Brooklyn New York, has set a new Guiness World Record for watching television for 94 hours straight. Fragoso broke the previous record set in March of this year by a group of Australians who watched 92 hours of television. Fragoso credited his “Mediterranean diet” and frequent stretching for his stamina in the TV marathon. Fragoso watched a variety of shows over the course of his record-setting binge watch, including Game of Thrones, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Twilight Zone, Bob’s Burgers, Adventure Time and Battlestar Galactica. Fragoso’s attempt to set the world record was sponsored by CyberLink. They had a physician on-site to monitor Fragoso for any deleterious effects of prolonged TV watching and sleep deprivation. A judge for Guinness was also on hand to verify the record. The TV marathon started on Friday, April 8, passing the 94-hour mark on Tuesday just after 5 a.m.
* His father must be so proud.
* He lost around 20 points off his I.Q. but other than that he’s fine.
* Do you win a prize? Other than the bloodshot eyes?
* After about 70 hours you can turn off the TV and still think there are shows on.
* This is big. It makes him eligible for the Slacker Hall of Fame.
* I heard they had to bring in the Jaws of Life to get him off the sofa.
* The previous record was set in March? So at this rate, his record should be good for about another four weeks.
* Hell, I watched more TV than that during March Madness.
* A similar thing happened to me. I watched an episode of “The View” one time and it felt like 94 hours.
