Couch potato, thy name is Suresh. Suresh Joachim broke the Guinness world record for the longest time spent watching TV. He finished Friday with 69 hours and 48 minutes.
After passing the previous record of 50 hours and 7 minutes Thursday, Joachim continued until shortly after 7 a.m. Friday morning (EDT).
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.
Joachim, who lives in Toronto but hails from Sri Lanka, now holds more than 16 Guinness records, including the longest duration balancing on one foot (76 hours, 40 minutes) and bowling for 100 hours. He does it, he says, to raise awareness of suffering children.
斯里兰卡人看电视69小时创世界纪录
9月16日，一位名叫苏莱什·约阿希姆的斯里兰卡人创造了连续69小时48分钟看电视的世界纪录，从而打破了50小时零7分钟的原吉尼斯世界纪录。
据美联社9月16日报道，约阿希姆看电视的地点选在了WABC电视台的休息大厅里，这一活动是由该电视台一个名叫"吉尼斯世界纪录创造者的一周"栏目举办的。约阿希姆坐在一张棕色皮革沙发上，他除了美国广播公司(ABC)的电视节目外，其他什么也不看。按照吉尼斯世界纪录方面的规定，参加者每小时可以休息5分钟；每8小时可以休息15分钟。除此之外，他就必须目不转睛的盯着电视屏幕了。"看了这么长时间的电视，我的确感到有些疲倦了。"约阿希姆在其中一次短暂休息时打电话说。
目前，约阿希姆住在加拿大的多伦多市，他拥有16项吉尼斯世界纪录，包括单足站立保持平衡时间最长的纪录(76小时40分钟)以及连续打保龄球100小时的纪录等。
