Make of this what you will, but my work computer wouldn't let me open the link to that list, identifying it as "Pornography/Adult Content".

Nah, your child-like web filter doesn't like games.

[quote name=\'Nerdocrumbesian\' post=\'203826\' date=\'Dec 16 2008, 09:41 PM\']But seriously... Card Sharks on the "Worst" list?!?!?! [/quote]I've never been a huge fan of this show, mainly due to the fact they let the contestants prattle on in the front game.  Drop that and the game speeds up proportionally.

That was my biggest peeve with the show. I don't need a roundabout explanation as to why someone thinks 67 people had fantasies about their elementary school teacher.

/Was even worse during Kids Week!

What about that insipid game involving a money clock, and the player who waited the longest to buzz in got the most money?

It used to be this way when Perry's Card Sharks first started. I am glad they added the explanations because it got quite boring when they would just answer.

Everything is worse during Kids Week. And then came the lies the following Monday, "We had calls flooding the switchboard over the weekend telling us how much they loved seeing the youngsters, so we're going to do it again". Yippy freakin' skippy! That's another week I won't have to watch.
It's Young People's Week on Card Sharks!!!!!! Complete with shots of parents in the audience and Bob Eubanks giggling more than ever. Off.

No, I'm telling you.  The filter says "Pornography/Adult Content".  I'm looking at it right now.  

/The filter message. Not the...well, you know...
//I'm not blocked for games.  Helps to know the IT guy.
///You think maybe it believes 'popcrunch' is dirty?  Sounds dirty.

Is it possible they tag their site with the "Adult Content" flag so that their writers can use profanity in their pieces? It probably doesn't help that this is the first sentence of their "About Us" blurb:

PopCrunch.com is run by PopCrunch Media a small publisher of celebrity lustiness.

Sure sounds like that would be enough to set off the filters...

(Although upon looking at the front page of the site- and why I did this I don't know- it doesn't seem like enough unless I clicked further, which I wasn't about to do.)

It was last night.
When I saw Classic Concentration as the lead entry (#25) of the 25 worst, I knew I was in for dumpth. Before that, I just thought I would be. Then we got to $ale of the Century, the U.S. hosts were listed and we're treated to a photo of an overseas version (and I believe that was Simon Cowell in that shot).
Pop Crunch would make a great show. So would Ponzi Scheme.
