Oprah says: No Deal>
>Some minutes ago I saw the "Deal or No Deal" show where Oprah Winfrey was the guest. She said "No deal" till the very end. The consequence was that the winner (someone from the audience) did not get 75,000, not 50,000 dollar, but only 5,000.

>We too have this show in the Netherlands. There was a striking difference between the American audience and ours. The Americans all reacted like little children, yelling "No deal!" all the time and they are sooo greedy.

>Then finally Oprah and the host didn't give the 5,000, but the max: 100,000. It was all a setup. Gheez.

>The Americans can be soo childish in their behavior.
I really hope you are joking about this and aren't really this stupid.
Just to watch the show requires a certain bovine stupidity, to admit it in public among people whose IQ is presumably above room temperature ( C or F ) requires another level of doltishness, but then to critique the audience behavior and derive some notions of cultural superiority from it ...
Yeah, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt ... you can't be that stupid.

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.

Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
