Only in NEW YORK

Today in Times Square the world's laziest competition began: the Movie-Watching World Championship. For five days, 'round the clock, these eight folks will be in a world of celluloid. Each competitor is attempting to spend the full five days in the arena "where they’ll watch movie after movie in the hopes of breaking the movie watching world record of 120 hours and 23 minutes. The event champion will win a $10,000 cash prize, a lifetime membership to Netflix and the coveted Netflix Popcorn Bowl trophy." Mmm...popcorn bowl trophy.

Tomorrow morning the competitors are in for a headband-clad, mesh tanktop-wearing treat, as Richard Simmons will stop by and make them sweat before returning to their couch potato-state.

And this just in from the frontlines: the crew has already watched Iron Man, Best in Show and they're currently watching Ghostbusters. Later they'll miss the debate as they take in The English Patient.

Hvernig er hægt að vinna þessa keppni - er þetta spurning um að fara ekki að sofa?

Ég myndi tapa þessari keppni því ég myndi sofna.
