Oopsie! Saad Khan, Pakistan Reality TV Contestant, Drowns In Challenge
OK, wtf kind of challenge is this? Did no one stop and think, "Gee, is there anything that could go wrong here?"
ISLAMABAD — A contestant on a Pakistani reality TV show drowned while performing a challenge for the program, a spokeswoman for the show's sponsor said Sunday.
Pakistani contestant Saad Khan, 32, was swimming across a lake while wearing a 15-pound (7-kilogram) backpack when he called out for help and then disappeared underwater, according to Fareshte Aslam, information officer for Unilever Pakistan, the show's sponsor.
Horrified co-contestants and crew rushed to try to save him but could not find him in the murky waters of the lake in the Thai capital of Bangkok, where the show was being filmed, according to Aslam, who was recounting reports of those on the scene.
tommy, I hope tomorrow is better.
Thanks. Hopefully I can get to sleep OK in the new place....
I just got home. What have people been doing this weekend, and this week, and last weekend?
I sent your VVC discs. And now I'm writing Sports Night fic.
Perkins,there's a huge fire in La Canada that I am following via the internet.
I've been writing and checking out the trainwreck that is the OK Cupid dating message boards. It's all revulsion at fat women, followed by ten thousands threads in which the main gist is: Women are all bitches and cunts...how come they won't fuck me?"
I need a nap and brain bleach.
Oh Allyson! Step away from the freaks.
Other things I've been doing: sewing a dress, laundry, hanging with my family. All good stuff.
Seriously, yo. I give UP. The sheer amount of misogyny is weighing me down.
I've been not doing much. Right now, I'm making granola bars (they're in the dehydrator) and thinking that I ought to go to bed soon. Also, realizing that the granola bars probably would have been better with cinnamon.
