Thanks to the bravery of "jhuhn" at the Game Show Message Board
http://gameshow.ipbhost.com/index.php?showtopic=9325, the truth has been exposed on the horrible human rights violations committed in game shows around the world!
Further investigating this news, I spoke to "Games sans Borders" chairman, hmtriplecrown, about various atrocities committed by game shows in other countries. This is the interview:
[17:04] HMTrplCrwn: With all the stuff going on in the world, I never thought being turned down for Lingo was cruel and unusual punishment. Generally, I thought having to deal with Chuck's schtick and Shandi's lack of intelligence was the cruel and unusual part!
[17:04] JRaygor: No different than Hitler and Saddam!
[17:05] HMTrplCrwn: Not much different, at least. I did hear Saddam was playing Lingo Interactive in the foxhole. I would've never guessed that game translated so well into Arabic.
[17:06] JRaygor: Worse, if you lost a pricing game on "The Price is Right if Saddam Says So" it was 10 weeks in the torture chamber!
[17:06] HMTrplCrwn: Overbid = loss of a finger Losing Cliff Hangers meant you got pushed off a mountain
[17:06] HMTrplCrwn: Now I can see where the original poster got the inhumane thoughts from!
[17:08] JRaygor: I'm glad we have a president brave enough to defend contestant rights from around the world!
[17:10] HMTrplCrwn: I wonder how he'll handle Ken Jennings vs. The Infidel. That should be fun to watch.
[17:12] JRaygor: As for Iraqi "Lingo", I recall the top prize was just a measly 500,000,000 dinars ($3.12 US)!
[17:13] HMTrplCrwn: and the bonus game was "Get a Lingo for Allah. Praise Allah. Death to America."
[17:14] JRaygor: Idi Amen used to execute those who lost on the Ugandan version of "Tic Tac Dough"! What a monster!
[17:16] HMTrplCrwn: Oh that's bad. Not as bad as North Korean Wheel of Fortune. Instead of buying a vowel, you had to eat a dog. Bob Barker was none too pleased about this show.
[17:18] JRaygor: A whammy hit on China's PYL meant loss of your money, house, car and children!
[17:19] HMTrplCrwn: Oh those human rights violations. The next time I talk to Kofi Annan, I will demand he stop all these outrageous human rights violations on game shows. Everybody should be on a game show, even if the masses of people in China are visible from outer space.
[17:21] JRaygor: I applaud jhuhn for coming out with the truth! I hear he was threatened by Robert Mugabe not to revel what he did to contestants on Zimbabwean "Match Game"
[17:23] HMTrplCrwn: I'm nominating jhuhn for a Nobel Prize. This is at the same level as what Desmond Tutu and Nelson Mandela did in South Africa. jhuhn is like Greenpeace for game shows. Gamepeace. Everybody spins, everybody wins.
[17:26] JRaygor: Did you know Mandela was arrested by trying to apply as an contestant on South Africa's "Password"? Those criminals!
[17:28] JRaygor: And you don't want to know what Soviet Union did to losers on "Russian Roulette"!
[17:31] HMTrplCrwn: The bottomless pit of despair. That's ratings, my friend.
[17:35] JRaygor: And violations continue, Iran announced it had purchased the rights to "Lets Make a Deal" where people can trade in their possions for nuclear bombs.
[17:35] HMTrplCrwn: So that's where the WMDs are!
[17:36] JRaygor: Yes! In the "Marketplace of Iran". It's all under the control of Montymehed al-Hallzi
[17:37] HMTrplCrwn: With Jihad Jay el-Stewarttah handling the boxes with volatile contents.
[17:38] JRaygor: Listen, I got to get going! I fear we may be under watch by the KGB!
[17:39] JRaygor: REmember, the children of Africa need "The Jokers Wild" in their lives, please make it possible.
[17:39] HMTrplCrwn: Hear hear. I'll make my donation tonight.
Hours later, it was reported that "jhuhn" was arrested by the North Korean Secret Police Force and setenced to 40 years as a contestant on North Korea's "Card Sharks" (Hosted by Pat Bullard, oddly enough)
Please make your donations to "Gamepeace" or "Games sans Borders" to this number: 555-GAME. Together, we can make "Final Answers" matter to all!
