Guy watches every Friends episode in marathon, starts to hallucinate and twitch

Friends marathon guy
So no one told him life was going to be this way, but it was, at least for a few days. A gentleman in Brixton, South London named Steve Misiura watched every single episode of Friends in a non-stop marathon. That's 84 hours of Ross, Rachel, Chandler, Monica, Joey, and Phoebe loving, fighting, and drinking coffee. He actually broke the world record for watching TV, which was at 72 hours straight. I think this is a record someone here at TV Squad should try to break.

Of course, this being the age of the web, he kept a blog about it and uploaded pictures from the event. The picture above is Steve about 80 hours into his marathon. He began to hallucinate and get various ailments.

I think it would have been OK, record-wise, if he had interrupted his marathon at some point. He could have just used the excuse "I was on a break!"

Just because Friends wasn't your "taste" doesn't mean it wasn't a good show. Everyone likes different types of television. 50 million people didn't watch the finale for no reason.

Yes, I certainly think he had some help- someone must have brought him food and water. Typical American lazy head! Hey, I occasionally proudly contribute to this problem!

He should have watched abc's Lost instead starting from season 1 -would have been much more intriguing to watch!

Obviously he is on the UK welfare system, and has time to do something this stupid. I couldn't even imagine the physical illness that would result from watching 'Friends' for a half hour....................let alone days on end.
