612: Stupid Americans

[VBean]

Did anyone else think of these:

http://consumerist.com/consumer/consumer-alert/questions...
http://consumerist.com/consumer/investigations/consumerist...

When Chemda was talking about the man that went to their door telling her she could save money?

[peternorth]

Exactly what I was thinking.

IDT is a total scam and Chemda fell for it.
I'm new to the forum, but longtime listener. Does either Keith or Chemda read these boards?
Is there any way to alert them? They can cancel, but I believe there's a short time frame...

[Keith]

No, there's no way to alert us.

Fuck them, and fuck you.

Keith's fat Philly voice sounds like Sally Jesse Rafael to me.

For the retard movie list, you have to add "indiana jones retard" from 'Regarding Henry'.

Also add an old one called "Charly". The actor won an academy award for it. And "Larry", a true story about a guy who was raised and spent 26 years in a mental institution before they realized he had normal intelligence.

Well consider yerself alerted.

The next time he worked that route, over half the houses had silver bricks on the meters.
Good times.

That's fucking hilarious.

Thank the Lord for the live show alerts I get through texts. It's always a refresher to get a text message saying "Live show at 7pm" or whatever. Gives me the time between then and the show to get all I need done in time to get my daily KATG fix.

Yes, I consider myself an addict.

"My name is Aurora and I'm a KATG-a-holic."

HOWEVER... If Chemda were to send out "I'm killing myself" or something of that nature... I might sort of freak out. Or assume it's Keet playing a sick joke/making fun of Nick Starr.

Charly is a really good movie. It's based on one of my absolute favorite short stories/novels, "Flowers for Algernon". It's a really good story and a really good movie.
