Mmmmmorgan Spurlock

I have the HUGEST crush on documentarian Morgan Spurlock, director of SUPER SIZE ME and creator and occasional star of the kick-ass FX series 30 DAYS. Even if you don't watch it for the sexy hunk of pale fleshy man flesh, Mmmmorgan, 30 DAYS is one of the BEST documentary hours on TV. The premise is that Mmmmmorgan or someone else lives a life completely outside their comfort zone for --you guessed it-- 30 days. In this season's premiere episode (which I think was this week --I'm waaay behind on my TiVo!), Mmmmorgan was a coal miner for 30 DAYS. Next week an NFL star will live for 30 DAYS in a wheelchair. Previous episodes have had right-wing Christian nutjobs living with gays in The Castro. A "patriot" living with a Muslim family. 30 days is a looong time when you're thrown into completely upside down circumstances. I could go on and on about Mmmmorgan in jail for 30 days. He was hardcore sexy behind bars. Maybe it's his super-gay leather-daddy moustache? [Sorry, guys, he's married.] Maybe it's his pale, fleshy bod? Whatever it is, Mr. Morgan is the sexiest documentarian since... hmmm, ever? Ok, enough about me. Definitely set your TiVo for 30 DAYS and catch as many episodes as you can. The show is also available on DVD for you Netflixters.
