I’m With Stupid #113 - The News

The Rules

The rules are the same as previous FOFC “I’m With Stupid" Contests, as set forth by the game’s beloved founding fathers.

The object of this contest is to answer the questions posted, and to provide the most common answer among those submitted. For each question, your score will be equal to the number of people who submitted that response. Your score for the contest will be the product of your individual question scores. Highest score wins.

No collaborating in any way. No posting your answers to this board, nor sharing them by e-mail or in any other way with other potential contestants.

All determinations of "matches" and anything else requiring judgment fall to that of the sole administrator of this round of the game, me. You can trust me. Submitting a response to this contest, in fact, hereby explicitly affirms your undying devotion and subservience to me for as long as I deem it so. You can reduce the need for doubt and judgment by properly spelling your submissions, being clear, and that sort of thing. My decisions are final and inarguable.

Any references that are unclear to you, due to language or geography, should be understood to be authored from the perspective of an English-speaking American. However...

Your answers do not necessarily have to be correct in order to score points. If I ask "name a person convicted of child molestation," and you and four other people responded "Michael Jackson" - you each get five points, period, even if it is not technically a correct answer to the question, yet.

PM your answers to me, Subby. The deadline is Thursday, July 14th – Answers will be compiled and posted Thursday afternoon... and as usual, if I have your when I gather them up, and I decide that you are worthy of consideration, you’re in.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The questions:

1. Name a prominent television news anchor from any point in the past 50 years.

2. Name the most oversensationalized news item of the past 5 years.

3. Name a prominent female television reporter.

4. What is generally considered the most respected newspaper in the US?

5. Aside from Rather-gate, name the biggest news-related gaffe of the past 20 years.

6. Name a SportsCenter anchor from any point in ESPN's history.

So, if I understand the rules to IWS right--you are penalized for thinking independently?

Subby · 07-08-2005, 02:08 PM

No. you are supposed to independently come up with the answer you think everyone else will.

RendeR · 07-08-2005, 03:24 PM
