From the Wires: New TV World Record Set

We found this little article on the wires Sunday evening and were so moved, we just had to share this with the world. At the Director's Cut Blog, we were shocked someone actually could pull this off without going nuts. Then again, maybe he did. Scary!

STOCKHOLM -- Suresh Joachim has broken his own Guinness world record for nonstop broadcast-television watching, clocking 72 hours in the Swedish capital.

"I feel fine, I drank between 25 and 30 cups of coffee," Joachim said Sunday.

His previous record was 69 hours, 48 minutes, set in 2005.

Joachim, a Sri Lanka native who lives in Toronto, watched three seasons of the drama series "24" featuring Kiefer Sutherland, said Swedish TV4 spokeswoman Janina Witkowski.
