Hah.  If it does not involve BritneyLindsayParisNicoleJessica or some 
variant thereof, forget any in-depth reporting from TV news ... or maybe

OTOH, that guy was one tough dude to swim all night and survive, never mind 
that he forgot his PFD.  For sure, he would not have made it in cold water, 
PFD or no PFD.
