You have said something so prescient it may go over a lot of peoples heads. This guy, the true story behind Golden-Shower Gate are about punking us, punking someone ( in the case GSG it was to get Wilson's goat), or just get on TV and take it as far as they can to say "Ha-Ha"!
My guess is we have a whole new generation of pranksters doing this for the various chits and giggles I mentioned that might as well be Baba-Booey's kids.
Never mind an Academy Award, perhaps the Baba-Booey Award will be more coveted and will the show will end up on prime time before we know it...
Just call the award the baa baa booey and it will sell... like Facebook
