I am so embarrassed

I am back. I am so embarrassed by what I am about to write, but I have to (notice the moral imperative) do it. The lad was sleeping at his grandparents' home last night, so the wife and myself were watching television, and eating dinner, at seven. There seemed to be nothing on but "Wheel of Fortune". It really made me wonder.

I was watching one woman buying vowels instead of solving a relatively easy puzzle. She bought a vowel that did not exist in the puzzle, though buying a vowel that did not exist in life would have been funnier, but I digress. Obviously, this mental midget could not get the puzzle. This came after the woman beside, on the previous puzzle, did the same thing, including buying a vowel near the end when one should not have been neccesary. I was hoping there that she would misread the solution since all the letters were turned.

Watching this made me wonder if "Wheel of Fortune" were like the Special Olympics of game shows. Mentally challenged people come on the show and show off their obvious, though perhaps not acknowledged beforehand, mental deficiencies. It was like I was watching the "Land of the Stupid". I could not take it for the full half hour. I had to turn away as it was a train wreck of the worst kind. I can handle greed, but stupidity, no matter how dolled up it is, cannot be tolerated.

I can see the tagline...."Some of the dumbest people from all over America, come to Hollywood to play WHEEL OF FORTUNE!" That is why I am embarrassed to say that I saw this show and could only wonder if it was the Speical Olympics of game shows.

Have a great one. Ciao!
