Think these hot TV lights will hurt the ice?

Blog Guy, I’m a real sports nut. Are there any new shows I should be watching?
Absolutely. There is a mid-season replacement sports show, since the televised World Russian Roulette Championships ended so abruptly last week.
Yeah, I watched that last episode on TiVo. More than 600 times. So what’s replacing it?
An exciting new hour-long series on ice fishing, called “Sitting by a Hole.” Plenty of slow-motion, play-by-play, and so on.
Cripes. And I should care about that why?
The network has embedded heating coils around some of the holes, so the ice is going to break pretty often, sinking unsuspecting fishermen in an icy underwater grave.
Why didn’t you say that in the first place? I’m SO there, dude!

The kid has no coat, no gloves, no hat, and it looks as if he is crying. Must be a comedy!
Is ice fishing what’s REALLY going on here? Not in my head.
In my version, this kid is actually being offered as a sacrifice to some under-the-ice dwelling water monster that the nearby town made a deal with centuries ago. Hence the terrified posture and facial expression of said kid. He knows it’s only a matter of time before an arm reaches through that hole and he becomes a snack.
Gee, that’s swell, K! I’m hoping you don’t got any kids of your own….
I don’t know, K. I think that monster might have to break the ice a bit more. I doubt that kid would fit through as it is.
My brother went ice fishing. He caught 200 pounds of ice. His wife tried to fry it and they both drowned.
