before he even finished.

I mean really, what's more exciting? Someone spouting Jesus stuff every 10 seconds while perched above the Grand Canyon on a wire, or the frickin' season finale of Mad Men? The answer is obvious: Mad Men was thrilling tonight.

And why the hell (excuse me, Jesus) was this guy wearing flared jeans and a loose T-shirt up there? Wouldn't you want to wear some aerodynamic lycra stuff instead of a billowing T-shirt that might carry you aloft, not to mention distract you?

I must say, I probably would have been saying "Help me, Jesus" if I were up there (even though I'm Jewish). Or more likely, I'd be saying "Holy shit!"
