Canada
finally gave Nik Wallenda
permission to walk on a tightrope across the Horseshoe Falls at Niagara on June
15th
and then the
U.S. TV network that will carry the stunt live told him he has to be tethered
to the wire.
Snort.
Probably
the same gang that defanged Tony the Tiger.
Anyway, I
wouldn't have gone down to the Falls to watch him if he had gone without a
tether.
And I sure
as hell won't watch him if he is tethered.
He wasn't
exactly planning to risk his life for the betterment of humankind.
It's all
about money.
Money for
Nick Wallenda and money for some U.S. TV network.
.
So by all
means tether him.
Bring the
kids.
Yawn.

It might bring an even bigger economic boost to the area (like they need it!) if he was untethered and (heaven forbid) 'slipped' - people love a train wreck. If I was in the area at the time, I wouldn't venture anywhere near the spectacle - can you imagine the traffic!
I'm glad he'll be on a leash. No one should risk their lives for amusement, IMHO.
Tether him and shaking him, and like you, I still won't go watch. I have nothing against extreme sports, but when people inconvenience others (traffic, use of common sense) just to show off and get paid, it kind of annoys me.
This isn't my type of thing, either. I wouldn't go anywhere near it. What people won't do for attention -- and money.
Wow..deathly!sooo super- scarey!and sad for attention!

I'd just be annoyed that he got in the way of the beautiful view.
I know, isn't it amazing? The photo is breathtaking though.
