斯里蘭卡人看電視69小時創(chuàng)世界紀錄

9月16日，一位名叫蘇萊什。約阿希姆的斯里蘭卡人創(chuàng)造了連續(xù)69小時48分鐘看電視的世界紀錄，從而打破了50小時零7分鐘的原吉尼斯世界紀錄。
Joachim did his TV viewing in the lobby of WABC-TV as part of the "Guinness World Record Breaker Week" on the syndicated "Live With Regis and Kelly." Sitting on a brown leather couch， he watched nothing but ABC shows. "I'm going to be a little tired of watching TV after this，" Joachim told The Associated Press by phone during a brief break. Rules for the couch potato honor， as stipulated by Guinness， allow for a 5-minute break every hour and a 15-minute break every 8 hours. The viewer must otherwise be constantly looking at the screen. The hardest part， Joachim said on
"Regis and Kelly，" was "I couldn't watch the people" — the many， waving passers-by on the street outside the ABC studio.
據美聯社9月16日報道，約阿希姆看電視的地點選在了WABC電視臺的休息大廳里，這一活動是由該電視臺一個名叫“吉尼斯世界紀錄創(chuàng)造者的一周”欄目舉辦的。約阿希姆坐在一張棕色皮革沙發(fā)上，他除了美國廣播公司（ABC）的電視節(jié)目外，其他什么也不看。按照吉尼斯世界紀錄方面的規(guī)定，參加者每小時可以休息5分鐘；每8小時可以休息15分鐘。除此之外，他就必須目不轉睛的盯著電視屏幕了。“看了這么長時間的電視，我的確感到有些疲倦了?！奔s阿希姆在其中一次短暫休息時打電話說。
