Just a peculiar article today that caught my eye from The Scotsman:

Discovery Channel’s Deadliest Catch is one of the only things ’safe’ for Guantanamo prisoners to watch

I wonder who’s Al-Qaida’s favorite skipper - Sig or Phil? 

Some folks have posted comments suggesting Deadliest Catch should be made into a full-fledged video game.  I think with a little imagination it could probably be done.  After all, there’s already bass-fishing and games of that ilk out there.  This is like bass-fishing on steroids… not only do you have to worry about where the crab are and how to catch them, you have to battle the elements, fight rogue waves, assist in rescues of other crews/ships, catch your crab before the ice pack descends, etc. etc.  I could definitely see these themes woven together into a playable video game.  Granted it’ll probably never become a #1 hit, but there’s enough Deadliest Catch fans out there I think to make it a reasonable success.
