SRL is known for producing the most dangerous shows on earth.
Hi, I have a COI with Survival Research Laboratories, so I thought I would ask you about your  that removed "SRL is known for producing the most dangerous shows on earth." One possible citation for this phrase is the 1994 TV news magazine America Tonight. The TV listings for that show state 'artist Mark Pauline's "most dangerous show on Earth"'. A p. 6 of 2002 book or gallery guide also has the quote, though you may need to search GBooks for "most dangerous show" "Mark Pauline". Another ref is that says "Their byline is 'producing the most dangerous shows on earth.' " This source might be quoting the SRL website]. So maybe the article could be updated to state:
 * SRL has been described as producing the "most dangerous shows on earth."

I will look over the sources again tonight and give a more detailed reply.Dialectric (talk) 21:32, 23 August 2023 (UTC)
