This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for November 05, 2007:
We could load them onto catapults and launch them at contestants of a new reality show...a techno-refuse gauntlet ... the couch potato challenge. Overweight, soft in the middle Americans huffing and puffing their way through a series of obstacles while TV's crash down upon them.
Access: Public
it's possibly wrong, but i found this hilarious!
Is this idea that twisted?
We need to give them some sort of advantage. Say, a little remote control. If one sees a TV about to crash on his head he can change the channel real quick and hope for the best.
Okay. But it only works if they can switch the channel to a rerun of “Saved By the Bell” or they can use the TIVO function and delay the impact by 5 seconds.
i think i should involve my two students who are constructing a catapult for the science fair in this laudable effort. i have seen video of them tossing pumpkins, gourds, and other suchlike, but televisions would send them into paroxysms of eighth grade ecstasy.
