| 2003-12-04 - Weird News Wireless Flash News Film Watching Contest A True Couch Potato Competition | ||
|
New York, NY (WFN) -- Being a couch potato is an athletic endeavor for 25 movie freaks who will meet in New York's Times Square tomorrow (Dec. 5) and attempt to break the world's record for movie viewing The armchair athletes are trying to beat 66 hours and 17 minutes of consecutive movie-watching -- the record set earlier this year in Germany. Contestants range in ages from 19 to 53 and will have to watch everything from "Die Hard" to "Hello Dolly "for at least three days without taking their eyes off the screen except during sanctioned potty breaks. Contestants like 28-year-old Nathan Snook are taking it seriously. He's sticking to a strict diet recommended by a trucker: "No carbs, no sugar, light on the caffeine" -- and plenty of smart-ass comments during flicks that would normally put him to sleep. But while Snook is hoping to hold the Guinness World Record for watching movies, there's no financial incentive to for him to win -- other than free movie rentals for life by Netflix, the sponsor of the event.
