No problem Nick, sorry it took so long for me to get it on here, I had a slight concern over getting sued. But then I figured, 'Ahh you only live once, and I can just plead my bare feet made me do it'. :oops:

Would hate to see you get sued Bob. I don't understand the problem with airing this here in the US. Are they afraid the truth might create an uproar with the masses?
 
Very interesting watch. I am not compleetly in agreement with all their 'facts'. I would argue that dogs and wolfs (of different species) are better long distance runners than us (even though they do not transpire). Also looking at bipeds, birds have a better locomotiv system than us and a better respiratory system. I am thinking of flightless birds. But they also do not transpire. There are many good arguments in the documentary but I am sure the fact we use tools are just as important as the distance running part.
 
From Part Two:

"Because we put shoes on before we learn to walk..." So key.

"Thumpers. You can hear them coming from a mile off. They're heading to the hospital." Man, I love Lieberman.

"Poverty is a runner's greatest advantage." Loves it!

"These runners wear the same shoes as athletes everywhere; the feet inside set them apart."

Some of my favorite lines TJ, I especially like the 'Thumpers' comment. I just started laughing, I had a bunch of people just staring at me. :D
 
Good show, and thanks for sharing! If you get sued we'll have a bake sale for your legal fees. Some side notes, in the US they would never show an animal being speared or a 4 year old smoking a cigarette. Some people can't stomach another persons reality.
 
Just to let everybody know, the documentary has been taken down on request by the creator. If you had not had a chance to see it yet I applogize. My understanding is it will be available on Itunes later this year.
