Did anyone catch who the sponsors were? I don't think I would want my
company advertising on a program that was obviously Clueless, and
Uniformed.
Wouldn't that reflect poorly on my product? If "They" are ignorant, and I
hire them to represent me, am I not ignorant by association? By
demonstration?


Sponsors are usually lined up LONG before a segment is planned/runs.

Whatsmore, they probably figure rather like "we'll lose 50 customers, but
gain 100".

What was that Marx said about the capitalists lining up to sell the rope?

Well, let me know how it goes. I haven't watched broadcast TV since I got tired
of them shuffling "WKRP in Cincinnati" from one time slot to another every week
(IOW, not for a lllooonnnggg time).

Great discoveries are not announced with "Eureka!". What's usually said is
"Hummmmm... That's interesting...."

That makes three of us who have shut off the box... I even gave mine away to
my in-laws (and no, it didn't really help... they still don't think I'm good
enough for their daughter).

Wrong point: -- Are THEY good enough for YOU?

It showed a home on a residential airpark, and a woman in a hangar
saying "we can just come and go anytime we want, with no restrictions!"
Footage shows a Cessna approaching and landing. Announcer voice-over:
"You heard that right, NO RESTRICTIONS. Wait until you see what we
found. You'll be shocked. Tune in tomorrow for a CBS Evening News
Investigation."

Disgusting. This looks like it's going to be awful.

I just heard it again as I was typing this: "The trouble with security
at small airports, tomorrow." Looks like they're going to hype it a
lot. Ugh, where's my barf bag....
