Playing up the danger factor may be a great tool for making money, but theres a certain level of douche-bag-esqueness that goes along with it, and I'm disappointed that all Americans are automatically tarred with the same brush.

People may be quick to jump to the man's defense on a personal level, but his character is evidenced by the fact that this type of production is nevertheless ok with him because it makes money.

In the same way I think Ivan Carter has ruined the "Tracks Across Africa" show, which I thought Craig Boddington always kept very refined and even elegant.

I don't always enjoy Boddington's writing because he often doesn't seem to voice any real opinions, but the show was presented in a quiet and tasteful manner, with a sprinkling of African music and sounds of the bush.

Now it's completely whored-up with flashy camera angles and intense colors and overly-dramatic music.

So if all Americans (and eventually all hunters) get typecast like these guys present what hunting is to the world, then shame on us for letting it happen.
