DUmmies Hold A Fox News Bouncy Contest

[GOBUCKS]

One of their best bouncy contests in a long time.

Too bad Doug Bulna could't weigh in.

I Was Trapped At an Auto Repair Place with Fox News Playing for 3 Hours

Here's the general flow of topics

-Obama is extremely ignorant

-Everything Obama does is unprecedented, unAmerican, illegal, or some combination of those three accusations.

-Hillary Clinton Email Watch Day 47

-Why Benjamin Netanyahu is a super nice guy

-A segment where some guy ambushes young New Yorkers and grills them about irrelevant facts and trivia in an attempt to make them look retarded

-Bill O'Reilly reads viewer comments about how great Bill O'Reilly is

-Interview with an unknown liberal who isn't allowed to say more than 3 words

-Snarky sarcasm and eye rolls from Megan Kelly

-You won't believe what this random black guy just said!

-The latest crazy trend among young people that almost certainly doesn't actually exist.


My ears feel molested. Just 3 hours nitpicking every Obama quote from the day and attempts to scare the shit old people about the out-of-control youth of today and crazy minorities. I have to imagine after watching that stuff regularly, your brain has the same consistency as mashed potatoes. I watched it for 3 hours and I am in such a stupor that I don't think I can remember how to use my coffee maker anymore.

1. That happened to me at the Ford dealership and I asked them to take me home

and then come get me when the van was ready. Do not know that that option was available to you. Sounds really challenging! Sorry.

2. It was like being trapped in a casino

Just bright, flashing light, random sound effects, and constant shifts in focus to overwhelm your senses. It leaves you disoriented and unable to think straight.

15. My had my phone with me but I didn't have headphones

I tried just playing around on the internet but the tv was so damn loud, or maybe it is just how that channel naturally is. I would imagine the average fox started losing their hearing around the time of the Eisenhower Administration.

9. Hopefully you did not stare directly into the TVEE for too long. If you feel dizzy or have a fever

I suggest turning on some classical music when you get home and taking a short nap. If you stare directly at the Foxnews for too long, you will go stupid.

10. Doctor Jack.. I'm so sorry for you! I wouldn't have stayed and withstood the torture..

but, your enforced reconnaissance is just what I thought it would be like. I have an ex-husband who is a fox "truther"(I heard from my son who makes him turn it off when he's around).. his father said.. "it's true" My son said "No, it's not." smh

14. Happened to me, too, and I just asked if I could select another station...I think it was a

doctor's office, and she said "sure" and handed me the remote. Who knows if it will work next time?

33. Happened to me & #1 son the other day at a Village Inn.

The hostess was going to sit us right on front of the TV with Faux Noise broadcasting. We very nicely balked at the idea and she apologized and turned it to another channel, CNN, I think. Anyway, it was tolerable. One table close by kept giving us dirty looks and we just smiled and waved.

22. okay so you could not reach the TV itself, ask them to change it etc.

tell them change it or give me back my car, so I can go else where.
.
had a similar problem with a bar in the Tucson airport. Googled their corporate office and complained. I have not seen fox news on any of their TV's since, FOX sports yes but news no.

18. I have a simple solution to this problem

If I walk into b business and they have Fux on th T.V. I point out to the manager that they have teabag propaganda on the T.V. And that I don't do business with teabags and I walk out. I got one of the biggest hospitals in Tucson to change their programming by complaining.

25. So sorry

Last week I took a friend to the doctor's office where Faux was playing. I couldn't find the remote nor could I find how to change the channel manually. I did the next best thing. I unplugged the TV.

32. Fox was on the TV in the waiting room at my car place

Nobody was paying attention, so I got up and turned it off. No wait. I changed the channel to MSNBC and then I turned it off! Fox plays 24-7 at our local airport, but it's too high off the ground for me to turn off as well. I need to call them and tell that I find it offensive and they should put on something innocuous. Won't change anything though. Hang in there, Dr. Jack.

35. Was it the kind of place where you could ask to have the channel changed?

I know it's not always easy. In some places you get a feeling that it's better just not to pay attention and get the hell outta there. But sometimes there are places where you - as the paying customer (which they do need in order to maintain a viable business) - can make such a request. I did that at our local bank because Pox Noise on there was just an irritant to me, and a personal affront since I'd been a reporter myself and I have strong feelings about how they have cheapened and pirated the industry I used to be so proud to be part of. And they switched. Now it's CNBC most of the time. But I was in a truck stop in another part of the county and noticed it up in the corner there, and Pox Noise was on, and I was an outsider as opposed to a decades-long customer of the same bank in the neighborhood, so I just finished transacting and didn't linger.

44. That happened to me once at an auto shop and I went up and turned the channel. Told them I was not

going to listen to propaganda pretending to be news.

57. I had something similar happen once years ago.

I started wandering around the dealership, just killing time. A manager came and got me and chewed me out for all the money they had spent on that TV room and that is where I was required to stay.

**** em. Never go back to that place.

[HawkHogan]

So the auto repair shop was open from 8 pm to 11 pm? 

Weird, my auto-repair shop closes at 6, with late-pickups til around 7ish.   

Based on his descriptions of O'Reilly, Kelly, and Hannity, this Dummy was sitting in the shop until 11 PM.

I noticed that as well and his fellow DUmbasses are too stupid to grasp it.

[ChuckJ]

For the benefit of the other DUmmies...

The O’Reilly Factor: Weeknights at 8 PM and 11 PM
The Kelly File: Weeknights at 9 PM
Hannity: weeknights at 10 PM

By the way, while reading that particular discussion at DU I noticed several DUmmies couldn't change the channel because they couldn't find a way. In those cases always check the ceiling for the remote.

[SVPete]

Well, I could whine about being stuck at the gym with MesSBC and CNN on the TVs nearest me, but I listen to music and read an e-book or observe the human "scenery". If that whiner didn't prepare for a wait by bringing a book or at least play "Fruit Ninja" on their cell phone, that's their problem.

[dane]

Never once, not ever, has one of these anti-Fox bouncies mentioned asking the other patrons if they mind if the channel is changed.

These DUmmies are a group of self-absorbed whiners (and liars bouncy writers)

Sorry sir,we have that channel on all the time we get paid for it,well then I will take my business down the road. That channel did get changed with a apology .

Like Rush, FOX lives rent free in their tortured little brains 24/7. 

[CollectivismMustDie]

Hmm...Thats alot of bouncies.


Yet, no mention of the true story of the walrus who played "hide the remote at the car dealership because fox news", was made.

1) I'm sure ObamaCare covers PTSD treatment.

2) Why weren't the DUmmies instantly converted like their parents seem to be?

105. How can you be trapped?

Did you go to the place on your own free will?

Were you physically prevented from leaving?

Very confused

I wonder if it was a GM dealership?  Next time Barry bails out a car company, he should only make the bail out on the condition that the company's dealerships must have their waiting room television sets tuned to leftist propaganda.

[obumazombie]

This again shows the power coach franksolich has over the DU libs.
All he has to do is mention the anniversary of Doug Bulna and...
