"An Idiot Abroad" - television program
« on: March 10, 2011, 02:02:16 PM »
Why would anyone need to watch "An Idiot Abroad*" on TV (TLC) when the Teutul family (American Chopper) has traveled the globe for years showing us what real idiots look like as they stumble about the earth.


* actually a very good program.

Karl Pilkington is hilarious! 

They tout the show as sending a moron around the world to see how he'll react.  He's obviously not a worldly person, but he's very insightful, straight-forward and bluntly honest.

Haha, love the American chopper comment! This show is great. I wonder how much of it is him acting though? I'ld like to think none of it, but I dont know. Great anyway.

I love the idiot abroad commercials!  I can time the end of it so I can time my DVR to stop fast forwarding and continue with the show I WANT to watch.   ;D
