Why waste a good shell? Does anybody watch that show?

Only people who enjoy listening to Joy and Whoopi talk out of their arses.

3 million viewers I guess. Their max was 6 million the day after the 2008 election.

So put it this way, you fire that shot and 3 million women out there will just mindlessly turn to another channel.

There is one problem though. They're trying to go after the male viewership or something by adding in Jenny McCarthy to the show.

So I guess if you blew up the set and they had no where to do the show, Figmo would be upset in more ways than one. :D

I believe the flight must operate in order to be paid.

Well, being that I live a 10 hour drive, or 5 hour drive/fly south of ATL, I didn't press one, but I did turn off my ringer and went back to sleep.

I looked up the trip this morning to see who the lucky ducks were, but they never did cover it, I guess not enough guys pressed one! So it was MX CX.

Here's my question, let's say I lived in PTC, and I press one, then I get up and get dressed, pack, jump in my car and get to the airport...only to find they've cancelled the trip due to lack of interest.

What would I be paid for that? Just 2 hours suit up? Or the full value of the original trip (29:20, a DXB trip) ? Or nothing at all, since they eventually showed it as MX CX?

And should I always press one, then go back to sleep? :D

It was funny when Dick Cheney pulled the battery out of his pacemaker - defibrillator, alarms started going off, self important women freaked out while Cheney laughed ... can't find the clip...

I figured it would have to operate to get the full pay, but what about suit up pay, if you get up in the middle of the night and drive to the ATL? :eek:

Kinda like Seinfeld's show ... nothing.

Somehow Seinfeld make that supremely funny. The View has a talent for making it extremely annoying. Imagine being on a date with Whoopi Goldberg and Rosi O'Donnel all trying to out cackle each other for media attention.

I'd rather watch Coffee Talk on SNL. :rolleyes::D Which I believe is where the idea for The View came from:

Too bad The View isn't funny.
