If life is such a reality show where millions of viewers prompt you to move on and rock, wouldnât it be nice? If life is a reality show where every mistake is frowned upon, and your daily chores are filmed, wouldnât it be embarrassing? And if life is such a reality show where even your final moments are filmed for a deliciously anxious viewership, wouldnât it be frighteningly gross?
Well, you know, we live in a world where cameras rule and dictate things. We are expectedly tailoring our lives for a hidden camera. And even death.
âDeadliest Catchâ âthe reality show by Discovery Channel is all set to become too real by showing the death details of Capt. Phil Harris, a skipper who braved the Bering Sea each winter for both Alaskan king crab and a popular TV show. He died in February, almost two weeks after a crippling stroke on his ship.
Well, his final moments between life and death were filmed and discovery is set to show this to its viewers.
The report reads- Several days after the stroke, when Captain Harris awoke from a medically induced coma and was still unable to speak, he wrote a note to Mr. Stanley that doubled as approval for the producers to stay at the hospital.
If so, let it be so.
