This is funny, but an example of all the crazy stunts our entertainment-oriented society engages in that are 100% wasteful. Have we gone too far to turn back to old-fashioned entertainment?

You know what's great about this? My boyfriend has a car just like this and is always trying stupid stuff very similar. My parents used to have jeeps when I was little and we used to go rock crawling--what this under prepared man is attempting. To relate this environmentally, my dad--who is an environmental engineer--always used to say that jeeping is way more environmental than people in their dune buggies going as fast as they can, screeching through the desert. He said that jeeps are more like rock climbers, there to enjoy nature with little impact, while dune buggies are disturbing nature because they're loud and obnoxious and don't care what creatures they bother. (end of tangent)

At least this guy has learned his limit. Hopefully he had a sweet insurance deal.
