Iowahawk and Jim Treacher debate today’s major issue: “Would a hypothetical chained drowning episode make The View watchable?”

Posted by Tim B. on 05/26/2007 at 01:13 PM

Once I stopped laughing my guts out, I sat down to think the debate over. Iowahawk’s idea has tremendous potential, except that I think the drowning would have to take place over ten minutes or so, not the whole hour. Otherwise, Rosie would have time to chew through the chains (if she were not already gone from The View, that is, which she is—- *cue angelic chorus*).

Rename it “the left Zoo” and put all the lefty nutters on it, get them drunk and film the shite they produce.
Car Crash TV is the best TV.

I think the weak point of the proposal is the water.
I think you’d get more telegenic results with any or all of the following…
raw sewage
boiling oil
battery acid

Treacher and Iowahawk. Battle of the Wags.
I love it!

Now we’ll never know… 🙁
And Rebecca, it was MY idea!!!

Stupid tags!

Perhaps we could have the rest of the View women chase Moby Rosie down and harpoon her and see how many die in the ensuing chaos.

Best laugh I’ve had all week! Thanks guys.
The raw sewage wouldn’t work, though, Richard. Rosie is a natural filter of the stuff. Now, battery acid….

Frankly, daytime television would be VASTLY improved by a return to this sort of programming.

Anything would be an improvement over that bunch of sob sisters.

Ultimately, the case was just too well made for “The Hot Naked Cartoon Chicks and Bitchin’ Car Wrecks View”.
Advantage, IowaHawk.

My abjectist apologies and grovels, Treacher. Of course it was your idea, and if I hadn’t been struck between the eyes by the mental image of witches who don’t float, I’d have remembered that.
Did you consider loosing sharks into the studio/tank?
Posted by RebeccaH on 2007 05 26 at 07:22 PM • permalink

Ah! Another gaffe! Sharks wouldn’t stand a chance.

Daytime TV. Ugh.

Gee, being in Australia I don’t see “The Spew”. What a shame.

I think this is a reasonably worksafe version of the Pilot for Rosies new show. Its unclear what role she will be in though.
Its youtube so I hope this works.

Sharks, battery acid, etc., seems like it’d all be over too quick. It’s a one-hour show. Well, it would’ve been the last one-hour show. If only.

saltydog—My bad. I forgot about the time she threw herself off the Staten Island Ferry screaming about the bushy-tailed possums.
They still haven’t scrubbed the ring off New York Harbor…
