Christie, I came across this hilarious spoof of Bear Grylls on YouTube, a spot-on spoof by a kid trying to survive the wilds of New York City. The scene of him approaching "three pampered teenage girls" in the Park, sunning themselves "away from designer coffee bars and Fifth Avenue" was funny..."Normally it takes at least a week for them to come to trust me..."
