So I'm sitting here watching Bondi Rescue (for those not in Australia it is a show about surf rescue at the infamous Bondi Beach in Sydney) and for those who have seen the show before, you'll know how ridiculously good-looking the lifeguards are.
Growing up only 10 minutes from a popular beach, I was taught at a young age surf awareness and the dangers of the beach. I know to swim between the flags, look out for rips, stay away from certain creatures and to avoid watercrafts and surfers. However, after seeing what the lifeguards look like (and they seem to get more attractive every year) I will admit to contemplating getting myself into a little bit of "trouble" so I can be rescued by one of these attractive boys. So it begs the question- does a show like Bondi rescue help to raise awareness of the dangers of the beach or does it encourage young women to play the damsel in distress card so they can get rescued by a gorgeous guy and potentially wind up on the television for their 15 minutes of fame?
Of course, despite the brief contemplation of my crazy idea, the rational side of me won in the end and I decided to settle for sunbathing on the beach instead and checking out the lifeguards from an advantageous viewpoint! Sometimes the fantasy is better than the reality!
