Speaking of movie rights... A few years ago, a different yet wonderful television show named "THE ALL NIGHT SHOW" aired in Toronto. It featured old television shows (twilight zone, outer limits, prisoner, car 54 where are you, etc, etc), and often would show home made super-8 type movies. Well one night they showed a suicide. Or rather a faked one. Some ratty thirty year old man came on the film and said "My life is a shambles and I wish to end it all, right here on camera. If you find this film, please contact my parents at ..............". He sat down on a chair (with some sort of explosive under it) and blew himself up. It looked very real. It was a disturbing film. After it was shown, the host (for those of you who remember him, Chuck the Security Guard) telephoned the British Columbia number given in the film. It turned out that the guy in the film really killed himself six weeks later... (I hope this hasn't put you to sleep) Anyway, can you picture "That's Incredible" showing someone REALLY blowing themselves to bits? I'm sure there are lots of people out there who are willing to try it (once...). -jan ...watmath!csc
