Hi All, I'm new here so bear (excuse the pun) with me. I see there are basically two trains of thought here. One being that BG programs are nought but entertainment, and the other being that his productions are a dangerous sham that could land somebody, anyone daft enough to take him seriously, in trouble one day.
They are both correct in my opinion. I've seen more than a couple of Bears programs, I have watched them purely to giggle at the blatant deceptions and outright scams he employs in every episode. Also, I laugh at how seriously he takes himself, a kind of plum mouthed Steve Irwin style presentation that seeks more self-gratification than truth and education (unlike Steve, annoying as he was).
There is an underlying danger here though. People, some people, may believe some of the stuff he spouts. There are enough dedicated fans of pro-wrestling to tell us that some people will believe just about anything. Children watch him for god's sake. How long before the first headline along the lines of "Child dies in Bear Grills style elevator descent"?
In my opinion he should be stopped, or, told to get real.
