Seriously, does anyone give a rat’s ass?
Isn’t this about the dumbest stunt ever?
Why would ANYONE do this?
Oh. Wait. Money.
I forgot.
Fine…he’s an idiot who decides to become the Little Merman for a week and then plans to be shackled underwater while attempting to hold his breath for 9 mins. Oh, and he has to escape the shackles.
Sigh.

Thank you! Thank you for posting this. Nice to know I’m not the only one who feels this way./Talk about a wet way to grab your 15 minutes of fame. Total of getting in, the 9 minute show-off and the “fake” panic period .. (assuming there was one, there ALWAYS is a staged moment of “panic” in any circus) and the towel off period with interview time tacked on.Give me a romance author being interviewed and I’ll feel it is time worth spent. Anything else is just hot air.
