VANITY: A very strange question I just heard on "Family Feud"...
Self ^ | 2/5/10

Posted on 02/05/2010 2:33:29 PM PST by SilvieWaldorfMD

I'm watching a new version of "FAMILY FEUD" right now(with host John O'Hurley) with my son on the Ion Channel, and one of the questions the host asked the families was the following:

"What Person Has Made A Difference In Our Lives?"

There were 5 answers to the question, and the answers were, in order of importance, as follows:

1 - Martin Luther King, Jr. 2 - Oprah Winfrey 3 - Bill Clinton 4 - Benjamin Franklin 5 - Jesus

I was aghast. First of all, I want to know who the hell they surveyed. If this show surveys 100 people for each of their questions, I want a phone list of who they called, where they live, and what they do for a living.

If this is the direction America is going towards, we might as well just give up, folks...

A difference in what? Hitler "made a difference." I hate that saying!

They all make sense if you figure Franklin as in 100 dollar bills and HayZuess as the boy who runs crack at the middle school.

Of course Oprah! If I turn around and Oprah is on the TV, I know I am late for my afternoon games. THAT would make a difference in my life.

Nope, this version didn’t start taping until July 2006. So it’s fairly recent.

From what they say....

Ben Franklin and Bill Clinton did have a lot in common.

LOL! Probably...

Here in our neighborhood in Waldorf, “Jesus the Lawn Guy” becomes “Jesus the Snow Plower” during Wintertime.

CALLING ALL POLITICAL AD MAKERS,

Scene late night suburban street, a typical American family is getting ready for bed.

Voice over. "the Smith family didn't see it coming... They thought they were safe...But the nightmare was about to begin."

Obama, Ried, and Pelosi break in the door and Obama shoves a shotgun in the mother's face while screaming "I Want MY money!" Ried does a flying tackle on the father while Pelosi binds and gags the kids.

The next scene shows Pelosi and Ried carrying the silverware, furniture, and appliances out of the house while Obama counts a roll of money. Then a bunch of guys in turbans and robes show up and Obama says "They're all yours guys."

Voice over. "Don't let this happen to you. Vote Conservative Security."

Well, it's what I'd like to see
