Attention Whores

[Bocefish]

I'm referencing the fiasco of tight wire walkers...

Big wup, but the media fawns all over it.

Safety measures make it almost impossible to be fatal.

If he included some F-15s simultaneously doing a low fly by in opposite directions to create more drama... now that could be interesting.

ETA: Didn't watch it but omg he survived, go figure. :roll:

Never say something is easy until you've done it and done it successfully.. Just because there are safety measures doesn't make what he did less cool?

Here we go with emotional assumptions...

How did you assume anything resembling EASY from my post?

No net. No safety wire. Blindfolded. Mind explaining these safety measures that make it almost impossible to be fatal? Especially since his father died from falling off during a a wire walk.

Don't mind at all...

The worst that could probably happen is that he loses his footing and grasps onto a proven cable that will support his weight beyond question and wait for rescue, yet somehow fails to hold on for dear life.

Wupityy doo!

I have no input about tightrope walkers, except that I used to want to be one as a kid.

However, I do have a question, and this might make me a bitch, but I don't care. Haven't had coffee yet.

Wasn't there a post on here where Amber kindly asked that everyone title their threads accurately, instead of just saying, "OMG HELP!" or "Attention Whores" but something like, "I can't seem to put a Twitter link on my profile" or "Tightrope Walkers are scammers!"




I got all excited thinking this was gonna be another post where a member said some stupid stuff, started some drama, and then people posted cutes to derail it. However, only part of that has happened, so let's get on it, people!

:lol:
I already had my torch in-hand and lit up on entering the thread, and didn't know what to do!
After consulting the Ewok council of Elders they have asked me to submit an offering of cuteness to appease the lord of flames.

I hereby submit to you a dog dressed up as an elder of said council, in honour of both this thread and the Ewok council.

May the fleas of a thousand camels infest my existence.

No apologies for trying to liven things up around here regarding the fact that two world records were accomplished. :shhh:

This... is a bizarre place.

Let's take it to the next level!

Pbbbffftttt Astronauts are a bunch of suit wearing sissy la-las. With their "helmets" and their "training" ... geeze they only sometimes die.

Astronauts risk their life for a purpose... HUGE.... HUGE difference with almost limitless uncontrolled variables so the comparison is pretty lame.

Criminey Boce... Criminey.

I hope you can step back and laugh just a little at this thread another day... It's hilariously Crotchety.

I just find it funny that "attention whore" has a negative connotation to it.
Most people like attention. Whether someone dyes their hair blue to stand out, or a singer performs on stage, or a girl wears a low cut shirt in public. Who cares? What's wrong with enjoying attention? I LOVE attention! Give me all of it!

(Not saying that all people dress a certain way or perform for attention, just that if they do, there's nothing wrong with that.)

 

[Bocefish]

Kudos to Megan for bringing honest reality to the table. :thumbleft:

The terminology may be offensive and you can define it however you like but facts remain the same.

Bitching about tight-rope walkers doesn't even begin to delve into the attention whore dollars and manipulation.

Someone really hates tightrope walkers.

What? You're mad that people make money and get attention by doing things YOU believe don't require talent or is not dangerous?
So tell me why you watch camgirls again???

(For the record, *I* believe both jobs require a certain amount of talent and have dangerous elements to them)

 

[ConnerJay]

Did somebody say....tight...rope?

Love it.

I think Sophia would agree on the matter.

Surprise! Sophia's vagina is a derailing tactic now. You're welcome.

Isn't starting a thread with the title "Attention Whores" a bit attention whore-y in itself? Could of been "dangerous shit people do", "I hate tight rope walkers" or even "fuck this one dude in particular", but instead you picked a title that surely you knew could potentially cause some folks to be rubbed the wrong way.

Oh but it's not dangerous and he didn't get paid for the post so it's totally different. :roll:
