Like something out of a made-for-TV movie, 19-yo UK resident and student Jamie Neal went out on a few hours walkabout in the Blue Mountains of NSW (Australia) and wound up lost. He had left his belongings, including his mobile phone, behind at the place he was staying. Some 12 days later he was discovered, just a bit the worse for wear, having survived by eating plants and berries to headlines all over the world.While glad he was discovered safely, the thing that galls everyone I speak to here is that his "tale of survival" is expected to fetch him up to one million dollars on the talk show, tabloid, and lecture circuit.
$1M. Hmph. Not bad for just being a dumb-ass.

Yes, and now he graciously agrees to donate 'some' of his ill gotten profits to the rescue organisations that went searching for his dumb-ass, after the old man said 'any' profit would be thus donated.
Q: What's worse that a Pom lost in the bush?
A: A found one.
