The show will air on a several-second delay in case Brown shoots himself. If that happens, viewers will not see the gun fire into his head. Instead, the screen will go blank and display a message advising viewers what's happened.
Someone in the UK want to tape this and send me a copy? :)
It seems the TV networks will go to any length to get ratings these days; any length that is except for producing quality television. Blimey i'm sounding old!
And a pretty darn stupid one really.
As for the Brown thing, that'll be an illusion. There will be no possible way for the guy to actually kill himself.
All nice publicity though, just before he applies to the BBC for a new series.....

As far as I know, there is no such thing as a 348 Smith & Wesson... does anyone have one for sale? My gun collection seems incomplete, now.
So the guy is going to perform a stunt shooting in the air, with a non existing gun... what a thrill!

Can anyone tell me what a "348 Smith & Wesson" is?
It's used to weed the WW member list ;) - there are two manufacturers listed for 348 cartridges here:

I know about those exotic rifle ammunitions, but some S&W revolver using them is new to me.
The future... Where's RoboCop? Where's my rocket pack?
Mac you are correct Smith does not make a 348 and I am not sure if anyone has a wild cat cartridge in that caliber. However, the wild cat cartirdges are vast and I am not educated enough on the matter to discuss it further. I never would have figured you for a wheel gun guy well maybe since you use macs that might make sence. Shoot straight...
This is one more example of gene pool cleansing.
Yeah, the chlorine tablets my grandma used to use in her swimming pool wouldn't be nearly as telegenic, would they?
Didn't see Mr. Blaine while in London, won't be turning on the tv to see this either. I trust there will be an update in FOO shortly after it happens either way... ;)
Bullseye! I enjoy a .22 Olympic stuff German semi automatic pistol to cut paper at 10 yards.
Revolvers are passé since 1896! ;-)
...self-attempted suicide...
On further thought... is there any OTHER kind of suicide? If someone ELSE attempts it, it's usually referred to as homicide, murder or manslaughter, no? ;)
Mivox maybe you could ask your grandma if I could borrow a few tablets I know a few people that could use em.
I reckon that he should open the decision to the public, he could call it Russian Roulette Idol or something, would be great TV :)
I went to see David Blaine last week, after about 2 minutes the novelty wore off and I regretted treking all the way across town to see it.

Russian roulette is just not the same with a bottomfeeder. Misfires with modern ammunition is rare these days so the game is too soon over...
Bottomfeeders! I'm surrounded by bottomfeeders! If a guy can shoot straight, six is WAY more than you need! bottomfeeders fer chrissake... ;)
Sad I have just only 17 varients of this vintage toy. I never dared any modification on my original 1911 (sans A1).
>>I'm surrounded by bottomfeeders! If a guy can shoot straight, six is WAY more than you need! bottomfeeders fer chrissake...
Shooting straight 5 times, with 5 rounds, at the same place, in the same target is a olympic standard. So I guess the sixth chamber was meant for the cowboys to do someting about improving the gene pool. ;-)

How do they get people to do that? Did they offer the victim/subject/idiot any money for killing himself? ;)
Sick people who want to see something like that, and they probably pay big money for it. While misery can be found all over the world, for free.
This isn't a big stretch for people - we used to watch hangings all the time for entertainment back in history. Things come full circle.
Blaine is also an illusionist (not to mention "The World's Greatest Mystifier"). Although I think he must be in that box or it's the greatest stunt ever, I wouldn't be shocked if he was being smuggled some form of salt or nutrition, or maybe the occasional Playboy magazine.
The guy who loaded the gun, and the guy who had the same picture as Darren during the London selection rounds, and picked the exact word that Darren guessed during the final selection round at the secret location.
He was planted to make it look like he wasn't using a plant.
Or maybe i'm just cynical.

Uhm... just wondering, what would the SEO equivalent of russian roulette be?

Sending anagrams of your domain name to google's index removal cgi script.

Ah, the makers of the best competition air pistols, IMHO.
The muzzle velocity on the one that I own is fast enough that it should be registered as a handgun (where I live)...
Should be... ;)
