I know not everyone likes the results of reality TV shows but this is taking hatred to an all new level if someone like Steven Cowan is willing to shoot his own television set!

Quote:
A rural Wisconsin man this week joined a minority of viewers who opposed Sarah Palin's daughter Bristol's advance to the finals of a hit US dance show -- by shooting his TV with a shotgun.


Man shoots TV over Dancing with the Stars result

His wife had to call the police after that absurd reaction to the result of that episode. It resulted in a 15-hour standoff with police too!

Here is a YouTube video about the incident:



What do you think of this situation and Steven Cowan's reaction? Confused

I've seen people freak out over a sports match, but not like that. Shot his own TV with a shotgun and then wanted to kill himself... TV can be stressful.

Yeah, I'd also guess that he did it on purpose (Just to be all over the news).

It was also probably a cheap TV that he shot too.

I agree with neeraffa, most things like this are staged.

In my view, most of things that happen in the studio when the camera is on are staged. This is just too weird to be staged.

Yes, I can understand if people believe it was all an act. The problem is that if it was staged, then how does one explain the 15-hour standoff with police? Confused

If the cops hear some guy shot his tv over a tv show....Would you want to go in there and take him into custody? Even if the guy did it for attention, no cop is going to risk his life to simply bring someone in faster Rolling Eyes

Plus who keeps a loaded gun in their living room?

im with you garyoak...i dont think this was staged at all...i just think this guy really thought brandi was better than sarah palins daughter...people take stuff like this way tooo serious...im willing to bet there are similar stories that may have never been put into national news about american idol, americas got talent...all those shows...people get more hooked on these shows than drugs....its ridiculous...and then to have a 15-hour standoff with the cops...the guy should be on a 72-hour hold while they test him emotionally...anyone who is that obsessed with dwts has a screw or two loose

Wow, what a over the top reaction! It's not the T.V's fault!

I dont think it's staged.
Given the police were involved.


I could understand if this programme come and he did it tho ... Laughing Laughing
