Scenario

[el Guapo]

A team of evil Canadian scientists (is there any other kind?) have captured you for their grusome experiments. See Photo Below:

Which of the television shows violates human rights the most?

Super Mods feel free to add to the selections.

 

[Super Amputee Cat]

I don't see one for Bob Dole doing Britney Spears so I went with Billy.

Next to NPR interrupting my morning listening with their fundraising - the MDA is torture

 

[Mastiff]

I'm not French...

...so Jerry got the nod.

Where did you find the still from "A Clockwork Orange", Guap?

And my droogs would drat forever before they let those lewdies get thier merzky rookers on me!

 

[el Guapo]

I just type "clockwork orange" into copernic and boom - web pages galore.

Copernic - I love thee

I once went trick or treating in an outfit with a large white codpiece. I was 27 at the time.

Am I being tortured with American shows or Canadian shows? Bad American shows would pack a quicker punch, but I'd experience shock quickly. Canadian shows would inflict a longer, more drawn out punishment, inflicting the kind of boredom that is usally only experienced by prisoners in solitary confinement.

American television

Anything on CBS that appeals to the "Leisure Acres Village" crowd
Sabado Gigante, with the senoritas blurred out
Anything on WB
Anything on the Lifetime Network -- All men are slime!


Canadian television

Headline Hunters
Any curling match
Road to Avonlea
Emily of New Moon

Adrienne Clarkson Presents
Man Alive

 

[Mastiff]

For you Canadians...

Beachcombers!

Next to NPR interrupting my morning listening with their fundraising - the MDA is torture

we're in the middle of a fund drive and it was hell being stuck in the car on a 4 hour trip with crap to listen to and no informative programming (unless you call the rants of AM talk radio informative..ugh!)

 

[ianplanner]

Seinfeld reference; the singing of "Master of the House" from Les Miserables. UGH!!

 

[Planderella]

Jeezum Peetes!! How about all of the above?!?!?!?!!

 

[Repo Man]

How about a never ending public hearing on a proposal to re-zone a parcel of land for a Wal Mart...or anything else for that matter....

Imagine hearing the following cliches over and over and over:

"It will increase crime"
"It will bring in undesirables"
"It will increase traffic"
"It will lower property values"
"I think the land should remain open space"

I think I have heard those 5 lines at every single public hearing I have ever attended.

 

[Jack In The Box]

Well it isn't on the list, but I'd have to go with the 700 Club. Talk about an endless stream of extremist bullshit...oi!

Not to get off of the subject, but I've been there done that. One meeting lasted so long, the Commission purposely ended it and reconvened for a special meeting the following week. I think that particular meeting lasted even longer.

I have to admit that I love Seventh Heaven on the WB. It is just the funniest show I have seen in years, and I watch it several times a week. My boyfriend, however, does not share my feelings, and will only watch it intoxicated.

 

[Downtown]

Hmm... don't even want to begin to touch the 7th Heaven topic. But I have to admit, I am a HUGE Gilmore Girls fan. And my husband was way into Buffy before they switched over to UPN and began to suck.
