I wonder if its 50 hours without moving your eyes off the screen... or closing your eyes for more than 1 second at a time :p

Perhaps they could make this academic by forcing the watcher to answer thorough questions of the shows watched.

Or that new one that UKStyle are launching.
Watching Paint Dry

I'll dig up info

Here y'are

"Some critics say the endless stream of hugely popular reality television shows are as dull as watching paint dry -- Well, now they can test the theory with a live, eight-week round-the-clock Webcast of just that.

Billed as the "ultimate reality TV show", pay-channel UKTV Style promises a wall, some brushes and different types of paint in its programme "Watching Paint Dry".

"Every other reality show is full of boring drips, so we thought that we would go one step further," said Nick Thorogood, UKTV head of lifestyle.

"We guarantee that Watching Paint Dry will be at least as interesting as the other reality shows."

The tongue-in-cheek Internet programme is being launched on Friday, the same day the most famous fly on the wall show of them all, "Big Brother", takes to the air again.

Most such shows rely on viewers voting out the human contestants, be they the Big Brother wannabes or the famous names of jungle show "I'm a Celebrity Get me Out of Here"

But people watching paint drying on www.uktvstyle.co.uk will be able to vote for their favourite wall-covering, such as gloss, satin or matt, with the least favourite being voted out each week before the nation's choice is revealed."

I've been putting hours of practise in to prepare myself. I've slowly reduced the amount of time I spend asleep and concentrated on spending more time awake

what a dumass
