I burned out on that Deal or No Deal quickly. I think I watched the first half dozen or so episodes, then they started doing crazy shit like inviting Donald Trump to give advice - as if he knows something about picking cases. Bankruptcy, sure. Boxing match with Rosie? You bet. Picking cases? I want Kreskin.
Anyway, I accidentally tuned in tonight and I see that there are now 7 million-dollar cases amongst the 26. Something tells me that they're a little desperate to give the money away, so they've "Little Leagued" it up by making it look like they've rigged the game. Is this supposed to make it more entertaining? Or less entertaining?
They took out all the high numbers, so that the highest before a million is $75,000. Sure, it seems like the game is stacked, but you've still got a 50% chance of getting less than a thousand bucks. Needless to say, I didn't leave it on long enough to find out if the contestant "won". I'd be willing to bet that she walked out with 10 dollars. Did anybody see the show?

By the way, why doesn't the title of the show have a question mark? Isn't it a question? It is.
So, a 6-year old in Colorado took his grandmother's car, presumably to drive to Applebee's. He positioned his car seat behind the steering wheel, started the car and drove it backwards into a power pole, knocking out power to a dozen homes. To comment on the sad state of parenting, the local dimwit checked in. "I have five children of my own, so I know you cannot watch them every minute they're awake," said nearby resident Nancy Hollis, whose power was knocked out by the accident.
"Where's your kid?"
"I dunno. I was calling QVC for one of them diamoneque lapel pins like Donny Osmond's sister has."
"Geez, there he is. He's smoking a cigarette and surfing!"
"Oh well, you can't watch them every minute. Put that surf board down!"
Maybe you could try watching them every other minute? Or at least long enough so they don't have enough time to power-up the family truckster.
I'm seeing an Applebee's ad campaign.
