How do you handle it when FOX News is playing on TVs in businesses you frequent?

1. That was an excellent move, my dear DainBramaged!

I never tire of that CalPig post.

I had never heard of the story, and since the story (with me) originated from a lib, unsourced, I was about to file it with all such lib stories. But now I will look it up.

It came up a lot when Bush was in president, apparently Laura did have an accident and her friend was killed. Something that could happen to any teenager, a tragedy but not criminal. The DUmmies wanted so bad to compare it to what Teddy did, but the facts didn't add up.

Same thing I do when they got CNN or MSNBC on dummie. I either watch it or read a magazine or do something else that amuses me.

Dumbass.

They can try find the remote and change it to MSNBC, Current, or Al Jazeera and hide it.

I wonder if the DUmmy went on to explain how (according to an account I read) the boy's dad was in a car following, witnessed the accident, and stated that it was not Laura's fault.

Or, did they discuss how Laura and her friend stayed at the accident site until they were transported to the hospital (Ted, hero to DUmmies didn't)?

DUmmies have selective memory loss.

No they don't ever read or know any of the facts surrounding the actual event.  It messes up the meme and won't let them call her "pickles" anymore.

Remembering the late 50's early 60's when some noodnick broadcasting a big time football game that was tied in over time, stopped the game and put on a old time movie.  Darn the switchboards at the broadcasters blew up with enraged viewers.

"The Heidi Bowl" is a cute movie about this game vs movie.  Happened in 1968.

She excused herself, walked across the dining room and turned the television off, then escorted us back to our table. No one in the very crowded restaurant objected to having the TV turned off.

What, no guffaws or Hi-Fives? 0 bongs.

I don't care whats on TV either at work or in a restaurant or other business. It's the owners choice of what to put on their TV. As for work we either leave it on the channel it's on or everyone ask if they can change the channel. Last night I had to sit through the AMA's while that retard Pit Bull opened the show.   How anyone that stupid about world history got out of school is beyond me claiming that everyone was Latino because Christopher Columbus came to the new world. If I remember, the Vikings and Native Americans have claim to being here first and my ancestors are all English, Scotch and Irish one one side and All German on the other. No Spanish in out family and the Spanish never had an empire that was as big as either the British or even the Roman's. So sorry not everyones Latino.
