Obviously that assertion is untrue. After all, “60 minutes” is sweating about it.
And by the by, who’s the bigger idiot? The 19 year old who gets himself lost and nearly dead in the mountains, or the people who pay him $200,000 to tell about it?
Well, paying him $200,000 to tell his “story” just blows me away. That’s the easiest fortnight’s work he’s never done. It rewards stupid behavior.
They wouldn’t be shelling out $200K if they weren’t sure they could make more off the story. Sounds like a smart move on their part.
