Dude, you're starting to frighten me. I thought you were just venting and being sarcastic, but you seem clearly serious about all this.

I'm POed at Barker too, but I wouldn't contemplate 1/10th of what you're proposing and implying.

You forgot the parts about Dian wearing an incredibly hot leather & fur outfit, and the award being sponsored by the new Kentucky Grilled Chicken.

I'm going to wait and see what Barker's spin doctors come up with.  But in the meantime I don't intend to boycott the awards show, but like a number of others I also will be changing the channel when his "tribute" comes on.

And to think I defended this guy on another blog when the slings and arrows came out (TLEberle can vouch for that bit if insanity)

The more and more I read about Bob and his antics, the more and more I realize this guy was one of the worst ego-strokers in history.  Of course, when a man demands to be referred to as "The World's Greatest Master of Ceremonies", going so far as to have it plastered on his dressing room door, you're gonna have to assume that he has an ego problem.  It hurts me a lot because like all of us Bob was a part of my childhood, and one of the reasons why, as a child, I wanted to be a game show emcee...It's always hurtful when a part of your childhood dies.  I still love TPiR, but Bob, I just lost any respect I had for him......*sigh*

For me, it was Dick Clark all the way. You'll never convince me that he was a bad guy.

Ever see his fruit cellar?  Piles of dead transients.  And pickles from Soupy Sales.

And how do you know what Dian and Holly and all the others who screwed people over are thinking? If he did that to you, what would you think?

I'm with JepMasta in saying that all respect I had for Barker is gone. He has no chance to earn it back since he's a bad man.

None of that is the issue.  The issue, as Joe pointed out, is that you're coming off here as stark raving mad.  It honestly looks as though you're creating a personal vendetta out of something that doesn't even involve you.

I have zero respect for the way Bob Barker conducted himself, but there's a possibility that he could come back. How that would come about, I don't know.

He'd have to make a lame man blind, cure a ham, and procure the Concentration library for GSN.
