This one's hard to classify, but I don't see the comedy channel applying. There may be something comedic about it, but not necessarily comedy.
And not sports. And judging by the production value, it isn't terrible either.

It's a show from Canada venturing into the United States that is the American Idol equivalent to Entrepreneurship/Venture Capitalism.

Hey, that's my first (and discarded) post ever on the sift!

this time it'll be sifted..

At the time we had a discussion on the classification of this clip. I agree with doogle with regard to the channels. At the time I classified it only as "geek".

No downvotes?

OK guys, I did some channel reassignment for you. It is a sports-related invention though, and it's definitely a case of "who gave that a green light" for letting him on the show in the first place.

Thanks to mlx (via Eklek) for title ideas!

Let's hear it for psycho redneck inventors! Anyone!?

Yeah, this dude scares me too.

Also, Meth is a hell of a drug.

American Inventor was originally created in Japan, and i think the British took the idea and then others from there.
American Idol and America's Got Talent were both created by the British.

Too bad this wasn't a prank.

Interesting to see the English bloke from Dragon's Den out there. He's a real tosser as we say.
The inventor definitely should not be allowed to own guns...

Kind of like American Idol-- if you believe in yourself enough, you're destined to win. Or something.

These sorts of people really, really make me sad. It's a whole lot of misdirected energy. That much energy is great, but that much energy poured into things that have no chance of success tend to lead to horrible self destruction.

Very sad indeed.

Unfortunate he didn't ring the bell on that bike, could have caused George to knock some sense into him.

exactly my thoughts, Crosswords

... finally a chance for George Foreman to show that old one-two technique and he just sits there like a lump.

"Next week on Bi-Polar Inventors, a former Methamphetamine producer shows the world his new applications of positive ventilation for hospital isolation rooms and mobile homes."

Probably an actor, entertaining tho.

Hell of a drug.

*sigh* Thanks for being an ambASSador for Americans, jackass.

Didn't remember watching this video, was going to come down here and post "Hell of a drug", saw that I already did 3 months ago. Cried.
