    Sweepstakes! Idol! Numbers! Schaivo! SNL! U2! And More!!!

    Weekly Rant 2

    Sweepstakes! Idol! Numbers! Schaivo! SNL! U2! And More!!!

    Hey, it’s my .12 Cents…….

    What a terrible week it has been for numbers. Not people, who choose, print or display them, just the numbers themselves. The NY Daily News, which was running some sort of scratch-and-win sweepstakes, took it on the chin because of numbers. It seems that they printed one wrong number in the paper which meant that instead of having five or six winners, they ended up with thousands of winners, all demanding their $100,000 prize. But is the Daily News at fault? Not according to them. Despite it being their newspaper, employing their proof-readers to check things over, and publishing the list of numbers, it is somehow not their fault the wrong numbers appeared. So now a gazillion readers, (former readers is more likely) are extremely upset. Time used to be, if it was printed in the newspaper, it was true. Hell, newspapers for the longest time were the last bastion of real journalism. Not anymore. And it’s the numbers’ fault.

    The week didn’t get much better for the number population either. American Idol, one of the most popular shows on television week in and week out were targeted by some mean spirited numbers as well. Seems that the numbers presented for viewers to call in and vote were wrong in some cases. They usually show two numbers for voting. The top number would be something like 1-800-IDOLS12 and then underneath that, on the same screen, is the number with no letters, of course ending in 12. Each contestant gets their own specific number. Simple, no? No. It would be if anybody there had a clue. Seems wind-up himbo and host Ryan Seacrest is a bit of a dolt. When the two numbers appeared on the teleprompter in front of him as well as the monitor he uses, he didn’t realize he was seeing, in addition to reading, two different numbers. That would of course require just a touch of thinking on his part, but why ask for miracles? But certainly someone in the control room, where emails were soon flooding them from viewers telling them about the error, would fix the problem. Uh, no. They didn’t believe the emails. They checked and saw nothing wrong. They didn’t fix a thing for the West Coast feed, so California got to see the same wrong information. End result? Not Ryan’s fault of course. Nor any producer who actually enters the information into a computer, teleprompter or, heaven forbid, actually views the live show as it is airing or when it is repeated. Nope. It was the numbers. Again. Glad to hear that humans aren’t at fault but the numbers are. When the computers in charge of our some over-zealous military commander. Nope, we can blame it on the numbers. It works for the Daily News and Fox.

    Ironic story of the week? The Terry Schiavo case in Florida. Schiavo has been hospitalized, bedridden and unable to speak or feed herself since 1990, when she suffered heart failure linked to an eating disorder (meaning Bulimia). The 41-year-old woman is in a persistent vegetative state. That isn’t changing and because of a court ruling, it is now Ok for them to remove her feeding tube and let her die. Her husband says this is what she would want. Her parents say it isn’t? Who to believe? I go with the husband. This is a woman who ended up where she is because she didn’t want food in her system. What better way to go then to be starved to death. Seems to me she got exactly what she asked for.

    How great is it that Saturday Night Live is still on the air? The history there is enough for me to try and at least peek-in when it’s a new episode. I mean, the show discovered John Belushi. The best ever. For that, they get a lifetime pass.

    I don’t think I’ve laughed at a single, new sitcom since Friends went off the air. I’m not sure I can even name a new sitcom since Friends went off the air. Thank God for Seinfeld re-runs though. That show as well as HBO’s Curb Your Enthusiasm rule the TV Comedy landscape.

    If I don’t get a new episode of ABC’s Lost very soon, there is a good chance I will have to hurt somebody.

    U2’s tour starts this week and I can not wait to see them. I just pray that they can pull a Springsteen and rework the set, at least a little bit, from show to show. It isn’t too much to ask that Bono and the gang substitute three or four songs in a five night stand. They have a deep enough catalogue. It would just require them to actually work for the zillions they are making in ticket sales instead of just coasting night after night.

    Best news of the week? I swear I am not making this up. An announcement came out from Japan that noted a new gum was invented that increases bust size. How great is that?

    You want one last number? 44. As in 44-D’s. I just finished a pack of this new gum and don’t plan on leaving the house for days. I guess numbers aren’t all bad.
