Jimmy Kimmel sets a Guinness World Record

Methinks Mr. Kimmel's mamagement team worked overtime on that one. Guiness? Really? I guess we should be happy they didn't leak a story about him having an STD, or a photo of his bare crotch.

Oh yeah, well I say "Amen" to Joey Geraci's post. Kimmel also set a world record for the greatest distance traveled to be unfunny on two seperate bland television programs!

To add to Gene Cowan's comment, I say "Amen". Global warming, ozone depletion, etc. be damned. This is the kind of idiot stunt that says to the average Joe "Why bother ?" Why do the little things to contribute when things such as this is done just to promote tv shows? I realize the comparison doesn't exactly add up, but it's certainly how it's conceived. Really, it shameful. I'm not a Democrat, but Al Gore makes a lot of sense. Too bad it's lost when something as needless as this is done.

Ok, rant over.

Wow, in such green times as we live, you'd think the media would be all over this condemning these actions. I guess they don't when he's one of their own.

What a load of crap. "Kimmel sets Record. The New Guinness Book of World Records is now available in a store near you".

The farthest commute within a week would be ANY ISS Soyuz TM flight. To get to the ISS. Takes 1 day to get to the ISS with about 16 orbits, each counting 40.000km. You stay 4 days and then get back. There.

But then they will start aguing "within a week" within two days bla bla bla bla bla.

I just set the world record on posting longwinded posts on this thread. Yeehaw.

He's also got to have the world record for "most carbon emissions by a single person."
I'm not a particularly vociferous, ultra-activist greenie, but I have to ask: what in the hell was the point of this? They couldn't have broadcast both shows from New York for the week? Huge waste of time, money, resources, and damage to the environment. I'd have been far more impressed if he'd taken regularly scheduled commercial flights.

Good job, Jimmy! You're quite a trooper. Now if you would only develop a sense of humor, you might be able to start going places in the metaphorical sense.

hasn't some executive at some company flown across the world a few times in a week? it just feels like someone else probably flew internationally 7 days a week instead of across country for 5.

those Leer jets though, its not as nice as you'd think. They've stopped serving Caviar!

Also, job well done Jimmy!

Technically, (or at least I'm making the assumption) didn't he get paid while he was on the flight? Therefore making his commute the distance from the studio to the airport?

Just a thought, although, it would be hysterical if GBWR revoked his record because they read this and agreed, however unlikely.
