Sunday Blessings - Bear Grylls


This will only be a brief Sunday Blessings, a quick Praise Jesus for this man. The post would have been about Jon Hamm, after having watched him on Saturday Night Live last night, easily the best host they've had this season, but since I previously did a Sunday Blessings devoted to him I needed to use someone else. Therefore, today's Sunday Blessings is devoted to Bear Grylls, host of the Discovery Channel's Man vs. Wild. His show basically involves him being stranded in some desolate place in the world and demonstrating how a person could survive if they found themself in a similar situation. The entertaining part of the show is Grylls finding odd reasons to get naked on camera. He has to cross a river, he gets naked, he has to warm up, he gets naked, he wants to roll in mud, he gets naked, a bear is chasing him, he gets naked, etc... The Discovery Channel actually shows his bare ass, which I got to give it credit for, but of course they blur out the frontals. Now a small gripe, the channel has shown male genitals before. Anytime there's a program about Indian tribes in the Amazon, a penis is shown, so why can't they show Bear Grylls's? For some reason tribal nudity is okay. Uh, a penis is a penis - if you show one show them all! Hah! Just my two cents.
