Most people know that name. For those of you who don't (and have apparently been living under a rock) he is the man who decided to go live in the wilderness with grizzly bears and "protect" them from poachers or other dangers - many of which he imagined.
Out of sheer morbid curiosity I decided to watch The Grizzly Man Diaries on Animal Planet. I know the story of this idiot and know how he died, but this previously unreleased video footage (or so they claim)and the text from the notes he kept are put together into a series of programs.
HOLY SHIT. I knew this guy was a bit twisted when I heard about him and watched another program about him, but Geezus H tap-dancin' CHRIST....this guy was not wrapped tight at all. The way he talks to the animals and especially the foxes he "adopted" as if they are people and know what he's saying. When one of the fox kits was killed by a wolf, this guy was blubbering into the camera. Now, sure; it's sad that a cute little fox kit was killed, but fuck....IT'S NATURE.
"His" moose...I can't remember now what he named it, but I shit you not, this dumbfuck called his moose "cute". A huge, 1200 pound male moose with a rack you could park a car in and kill you in about 2 seconds.....cute. That man was BENT.
Anyone else following the series??? I hope to be astounded by further stupidity during the next episode. I just wish I could see footage of this dumb fucker being eaten by the bears he "protected". Him and his stupid bubblehead girlfriend.

he was brain-dead from drugs. all that remained was becoming bear poop.
- Middle Finger - 09-20-2008
I was living under a rock as I did not know about him at all. You must have gotten a real kick out if though. Some people get NUTS with animals!

You posted about this dimwit already, Sinister.
Yah, he gets dumber and dumber as you watch. He's as nutty as a fruitcake too.
I'm telling you, watch the movie instead. There's plenty uncut stuff in there. I will grant him one thing.... he did get some amazing still photographs of wildlife out there.
Animal Planet is just as loopy as him to put his stuff out there as if he did some amazing thing to help bears. All he did was be a gigantic fuck up who got turned into bear shit and farts in the end.
edit: You just keep watching like some demented ghoul at a car accident too, don't you? Like you just HAVE to see what the next venture into stupidity is next!

Has this been posted yet? It looks like there are quite a few arguments in the comments section about the provenance of the tape, but it sure sounds real to me...

if it's not real, it's well done and scary!

It is so disappointing!!!!! I did not hear ANY bones cracking!....WTF.
- Duchess - 09-20-2008
Has everyone in this thread seen this series ?...I'd like to check it out... Is there any graphic slaughtering of animals in it ?...Or is it mostly just this fool trying to be "one" with nature ?
- LuMPyPussy - 09-20-2008
I've seen the movie, but not the series. The movie is absolutely fascinating, but this fussy, narcissistic man was an incredibly irritating person. His constant head flips to adjust his hair, the baby talk when he spoke at the animals... he was not someone I'd care to spend much time with.
- Duchess - 09-21-2008
I'm watching this tonight...I really, really don't want to see any animals killed violently so if I need a heads up please give it to me so I am prepared.

The most violent death you see is salmon caught in the jaws of the bears. Relax; I think you can take it.

I'm surprised that someone with the brains I thought you have would think this is real. For Christ's sake you can hear the person breathing who is recording this joke. I'm not buying it for a second.
Ant, I know I posted about this shithead already. With this new series coming up, I figure he's a perfect guy for us to poke fun at.
- LuMPyPussy - 09-21-2008
If I remember the story correctly, the camera was in the tent where the girlfriend was, recording sound only... any breathing you can hear would most likely be her. It also sounded like the wind was blowing.
Sounded real to me, but we all know you're much, MUCH smarter than everyone else. I'm sure you're right.
- Mr. Incivility - 09-21-2008
Call of the wild! Animals kill eachother Duchess! Some more violently than others.
I like watching it because it reminds me that the only reason that I'm on top of the food chain is because of opposable thumbs.......and the intellect to make guns!
- Duchess - 09-21-2008
Mr. I... Of course animals kill each other, I am well aware of that fact which is precisely why I asked for a heads up...OR...Sinistercould have made me aware that the entire program was nothing but the slaughter of animals in which caseI would not tune in at all.

Hopefully one of his "pets" will rip his face clean off with a "playful" swipe of their paw.
I hate people who try and humanise animals especially wild ones, I can remember the shock when that tiger went for siegfried or Roy (I forget which, I can't realy tell the two Kraut fruits apart)throat and people were horrified. Its a tiger for fucks sake not a tabbie cat !

Treadwell WAS killed and eaten by the very bears he was there to "protect".
MotherFUCK I hate having to repeat myself to the ignorant.
Do you often quote entire posts without reading them through? Moron.

LMPP, the camera was outside filming the whole thing.
What you're seeing on the TV series is outtakes of his "work" over 13 years. There is a full length movie. At the end of the movie, you see family talking about him and his inability to function in the world.
The TV show has different stuff from the movie. In the extra features and at the end, the family discusses how they got the film footage of him and the girl being eaten by the bear. It's there on film. they claim to have destroyed it so it does not get out and made public.
What I'd like to know is who funded this nut-job's "work".

- The Antagonist - 09-22-2008
I'm figuring his family did. If you rent the movie and watch the extras, you'll think the same. They're very 'enabling' of him and his nuttiness. They sort of feel sorry for him and how he can't cope with life etc... so I bet they gave him money.
Maybe they mentioned it in the movie and I was laughing too hard and missed it? Dunno.... either way, he's Froot Loops.
- Duchess - 09-22-2008
The scenery was freakin' spectacular, really beautiful footage but, the whole time I am watching I am thinking to myself, You poor dumb fuck...Some people need to be saved from themselves and hewas a perfect example of an occasion to do so...
