I sense another senseless death. This shit was fascinating in the 20's. Its 2013 can we come up with some new material.

how about the moving picture? HOT CRACKERS that's a nifty idea!
looking at dried paint has been popular for close to a thousand years. let's spice it up

To each their own I guess, I am not really keen on watching someone fall to their instant and decisive death.

6/23/2013 10:58:03 AM

is this one of those circumstances where you'll die of a heart attack before you even hit the ground?

6/23/2013 11:15:39 AM

I hope he falls. I really do. Fuck that attention whore

6/23/2013 1:25:53 PM

So if he does fall. How much of it will they show? There's no point in watching this unless he falls and we see the splat.

6/23/2013 1:31:05 PM

I just read that it's a 2 hour show, forget that. I'll just wait and see the 30 second clip of him dying on youtube in the morning.

I was thinking about that too, but I'm sure there is going to be at least one onlooker with a camera for that very reason.

I watched this guy's special last night. He's an attention whore. I guess that's easy to say about anyone setting up a stunt like this. Anyways, I hope he falls, catches himself on the wire, and then has to be rescued. I don't wish death on anyone, but I would like to see him partially fail.

6/23/2013 1:32:26 PM

that website is disgusting in many ways

6/23/2013 1:34:16 PM

This feller ain't got no heart.

The French dude who planned this first has heart.

6/23/2013 1:51:56 PM

The more I see these commercials............the more I want him to fall so no one tries this again and makes a special about it.

6/23/2013 4:23:32 PM

its like intentionally being exposed to polio without a vaccine.

6/23/2013 5:14:38 PM

i think he's one of the wallendas. i don't get why people are talking such shit about him. the family has been involved in high wire and trapeze acts for generations. some of them have died in horrible accidents, but that's the danger and that's supposedly what makes it so amazing to the viewer.

yes this is a thing that's more a part of the past than the present, but it's also a circus skill that's been around for decades.

6/23/2013 5:33:13 PM

Dude is going to puss out.

6/23/2013 6:58:30 PM

20 mph breeze

that's pretty dumb

6/23/2013 7:13:37 PM

he should at least be wearing a parachute just in case... (like this guy...)

6/23/2013 7:25:33 PM

all of the tweets are so positive

wish they'd post some of the real ones

6/23/2013 7:59:51 PM

Over/under on how far he makes it?


I say he makes it past the half way point. So 701 feet.


Lol. A paramedic. Hope he has a shovel.

Wallendas need to stop this shit. Nobody cares.

Waste of life.

In other news, lol. Indians.

6/23/2013 8:04:23 PM

is this on a 30 second delay?

6/23/2013 8:04:25 PM

So how many people will admit that at least part of the reason they watch things like this is to see tragedy happen? One of the darker parts of human nature I think.

6/23/2013 8:08:21 PM

that's at least 50% of why I'm watching

6/23/2013 8:09:12 PM

It's too bad we don't live on a neutron star.

If he fell from the wire he would impact the ground in just a few milliseconds and detonate like an atomic bomb.

there is significant sag in the wire... they should tighten it so that it is completely straight across.

6/23/2013 8:48:54 PM

Drink everytime they say "gaping gash".

6/23/2013 8:55:28 PM

Oh, well, then, I guess that doesn't make it dangerous at all. fuck it, imma switch to something else now

6/23/2013 8:57:24 PM

i thought this thing started at 8

i was on discovery and it's a bunch of people i don't recognize going on about twitter and trending and a bunch of crap i don't care about

when is this guy going to go splat?

[Edited on June 23, 2013 at 8:59 PM. Reason : 8]

6/23/2013 8:58:56 PM

Joel Osteen is there? Now we know it's legit!

6/23/2013 8:59:50 PM

He's not even a Wallenda.

6/23/2013 9:01:12 PM

seriously...someone just tell me when to switch to discovery and watch this guy start the walk to his doom

6/23/2013 9:03:32 PM

this is getting ridiculous

6/23/2013 9:14:37 PM

talking about his long pole...

6/23/2013 9:15:04 PM

He's got a long pole.

6/23/2013 9:15:12 PM

[Edited on June 23, 2013 at 9:25 PM. Reason : Best one I could find :/]

6/23/2013 9:24:52 PM

apparently there is a 30 second delay.

6/23/2013 9:26:34 PM

I'm glad to hear from his wife that he would "never do anything dangerous"

6/23/2013 9:30:43 PM

Naked and Afraid: wouldn't the wiener get sun-burnt?

6/23/2013 9:35:08 PM

This is your thought process?

6/23/2013 9:37:30 PM

eh, just a thought.



here we go!

6/23/2013 9:39:00 PM

Thank you Jesus. Thank you lord.

6/23/2013 9:39:11 PM

He is on the wire

6/23/2013 9:39:12 PM

if he makes it i'm definitely sending money to Joel Osteen.

6/23/2013 9:40:03 PM

who keeps thanking/praising jesus? it's getting annoying

[Edited on June 23, 2013 at 9:41 PM. Reason : oh, it's joel osteen]

6/23/2013 9:41:10 PM

Fuck this shit. I'm sweating watching it..

6/23/2013 9:41:11 PM

Thank you Jesus

Thank you Jesus

Oh, praise you Jesus

Thank you Jesus
