What do the terrorists get? |

[PotatoStew] Probably a parade down Main Street. |

Russian Roulette via audience participation? Only if I get to pick the hostages: Geraldo Rivera, Craig Kilborn, Joe Pesci, Shannen Doherty, Joan Rivers, Jessica Alba, Darva Conger, and Jeff Probst. |

One of the more ignorant observations that I have read on the Halfbakery |
|
| |
Yes, it's quite obvious that it should be "go over well", "go over good" is just terrible English. |
|
| |
...and the point of trawling up this drivel
from the Bakery cellar was? |
|

//One of the more ignorant observations that I have read on the Halfbakery// I simply picked those two examples as governments with less than stellar human rights records. excuse my ignorance. |
|
| |
So, when you said "Cuba" you meant "Guantanamo"? |
|
| |
I am not about to excuse the ignorant comment because this is not about Governments.
I don't think that ANY human individual takes gratification in suffering, torture and murder of another human being - much less when it is a TV Show. That said, if you were to look for that sort of behaviour then a reality TV audience isn't a bad place to start.
BTW I didn't accuse you of ignorance, I merely described the comment as ignorant. |

I wonder why Big Brother was once so popular. |
|
| |
Yup, That's why I kind of qualified the statement! |
|
| |
//the one with the least votes is then
shot.// |
|
| |
The one with the 'fewest' votes surely? |
