Fear Factor Debates
Mood:  cheeky
Now Playing: The Used
I cannot tell you how happy I am that the Presidential debates are FINALLY over! It was like watching the same bad movie over and over and over again.

In every one of them it was all about blaming, dodging, finger pointing, back peddling, and some of what appeared to be outright lies and then afterwards, both sides claiming victory.

I don't know about you, but I think the debates should be more like reality television.

Wouldn't the debates be more fun if the candidates were required to do some stunts or physical challenges? I would think that adding an element like that would increase the viewing audience and turn these snore fests into something relatively hip and interesting.

Can't you see them strapped into safety gear and logrolling in a pool of leaches or jumping from planes into vats of goat urine or Greco-Roman wrestling Orangutans while wearing women's underwear or perhaps a hot coal walk...on their hands while singing "I'm a little tea pot" or perhaps they could just scootch across the coals on their hineys?

I don't know about you, but it would sure affect my vote. I'd definitely vote for the guy who could suck down the most pickled rat scrotum in 3 minutes.

POST SCRIPT 10/26/04
So I was watching the Dennis Miller Show last night and comedian Charlie Viracola was on (Charlie's World,etc.) discussing the Presidential election now eight days out. I was beyond suprised when he said the debates would have been better if they were "Fear Factor Debates"....hmmmmmmmm...either my readership is going places I never wanted it to and Charlie 'borrowed' the Fear Factor Debate idea or perhaps it was just a common idea among the quirky creative types...velly, velly strange I tell you...
