Man Breaks Record for Watching TV
I'm not sure about the new record, but I think I've beaten the previous record during either a holiday weekend Twilight Zone marathon or the 3-day Alfred Hitchcock weekend on AMC. The amazing part of this was that Joachim only watched ABC. Where's the gitmo torture crowd on this one?
Suresh Joachim broke the Guinness world record for the longest time spent watching TV. He finished Friday with 69 hours and 48 minutes.
After passing the previous record of 50 hours and 7 minutes Thursday, Joachim continued until shortly after 7 a.m. Friday morning (EDT).
Rules for the couch potato honor, as stipulated by Guinness, allow for a 5-minute break every hour and a 15-minute break every 8 hours. The viewer must otherwise be constantly looking at the screen.
Something to aspire to in the future...
