Obama Birthplace Challenge Game Show Canceled
This is disappointing news. Apparently the courts have decided to cancel the new hit game show: Obama Birthplace Challenge. It was going to have "birther" contestants from right-wing conspiracy groups compete for $100,000 in prize money, where all they would have to do is answer correctly where President Obama was born. If they would admit he was born in Hawaii, USA, they'd get the money. If not, they'd lose (but get some complimentary Turtle Wax). It would have been a great show, watching those wing-nuts trying to decide if they wanted the money, or to insult the president (and if it was worth losing $100,000 to get to do it on TV!). The close-up shots of the contestants as the clock ticked down would have been a wonderful collage of greed, shame, contempt, rage, etc.: it would have been magical! Shame on the courts for denying us this instant classic of TV programming!
