I loved the presentation, I have been a fan of the awards since almost the beginning, and I recently saw the movie on cable, it was interesting and I have recommended it to several friends with whom I have discussed Darwin awards in the past. I did think that Wired Magazine had found the true origin of the JATO rocket car story several years ago.

What a cheap and amateurish presentation. She should have had someone else do it. I had very high expectation and was so disapointed, I will stick to the website and skip the public appearances.....

This had the potential to be very interesting or at least humorous, but I thought it failed to be either. The presentation is really nothing more than a disjointed smattering of stories.

She really is utterly useless.

I found it to be casually entertaining. I would akin it to an average author doing a reading at a bookstore. So if interested in the content its nice to "get to know" the author.

I also perused the web page while watching the video and found the video more captivating. The web page is antiquated and the stories I did find weren't very entertaining.
