| What can be done to make The View watchable? |
| 2007-05-28 |
| Iowahawk and Jim Treacher debate the burning issue: The Iowahawk View Jim, in a recent post at the Daily Gut, you said that "I want to see an episode of [The View] where everyone is chained to the floor, audience included, and over the course of the hour the studio is slowly filled to the top with water. In particular, I want to watch the last 5 minutes." While I can't speak to your personal entertainment choices, I think you are grossly underestimating what it would take to make The View watchable to the average sentient human being. . . . Rebuttal: Jim Treacher Dear America-hating Communist: I'm an idea man. I'm not really interested in your "logistic problems." Blah blah blah. We can put a man on the moon (allegedly), but you're telling me we can't drown a few clucking hens? . . . Rejoinder: Iowahawk . . . Oh, I suppose I could get on board with your plan if it included electric eels or a climactic shark release into the submerged studio; few of us can resist a bloody feeding frenzy, plus it would provide a potential promotional tie-in with the Discovery Channel. But it would also mean pumping in salt water, and the inevitable rust problems long after the janitors drain the studio and mop up the remains. . . . Did I say "burning issue"? I meant "drowning". |

| #13 I suppose I could get on board with your plan if it included . . . a climactic shark release into the submerged studio Now, if the sharks had laser beams on their heads . . . . |

| #12 What can be done to make The View watchable? A.) Why bother? B.) Who said it can be done? C.) Who said it was in the first place? Program directors demented enough to hire Rosie in the first place should be begging on street corners right about now. |

| #10 I don't understand why Rosie leaving would be a good thing. I would rather see Rosie retained, Barbara Streisand and some other kooks added. The more that Americas sees of the kooks the better. |

| #6 I'm so glad you posted this. It gives me a chance to link to this fine effort which you simply must see. (Not responsible for any eye or brain damage.) |

| #3 Why would anybody care? Maybe of some of the "fans" got off their dead asses and actually did something with their lives, they wouldn't have time to watch TV anyway. |

| #2 Elisabeth Hasselbeck is hot as H-E-double hockey sticks. I can think of all sorts of entertaining viewing. |

| #1 The view has never been watchable. Rosie leaving is good. The only thing better would have been to do what Iowahawk suggests. Maybe have the show in some mooselimb country with Rosie with a burqa about to get stoned for being a loud-mouthed useless idiot. |
