		<description>Also, about the porn cards from UBroadcast ... I don't mind that they had an adult film star for their on-site live show, but for them to pass out postcards with her nude on it was a bit tasteless. 
Also, the guy handing them out with the Lunatic Radio shirt reeked of booze on his breath ... not cool. I politely declined his card and his persistent offer to get an autograph from their chesty guest.</description>

		<description>FYI, I specifically asked security if the rope performance was the reason they were shutting the party down...but no, it was noise and crowds, the security said.

Not that I don't WANT credit for it, as the idea of being that subversive really appeals to me, but...nope.

I agree, handing out porn on the floor would be tacky. That's why on all my cards (some of which do contain nudity, which some consider porn) I would ask first if people wanted PG or R-rated cards. Everyone, with one exception, asked for R-rated, much to my surprise.</description>

		<description>Bottom line, the service ought to make it much clearer that it  is not simply scanning for other users. It uses your EMAIL account to Spam on it's own behalf while claiming a ringing endorsement from you. Very Not Cool.</description>

		<description>I see your point, John. But a lot of services will scan your address book to see if you have friends already using their service. Twitter and Facebook are two that I have allowed to do that search in the past.</description>

		<description>Not to sound overly critical, but it's just something I find unfathomable: why would you allow &lt;i&gt;any&lt;/i&gt; service to scan your address book? To me that's highly personal data and sorry, nobody gets to do that. 

Especially a service you've used less than 11 minutes and not been impressed with.</description>

Seeing as how I respect the privacy of our students, I declined.  However if any Sorority members out there (or anyone else for all I care) wish to audition, feel free to send Valerie an email.</description>

		<description>Just thought you should know about a new website that has a downloadable guide written by a casting director that advises how to become a contestant on different types of game shows, reality shows, and talent shows. http://www.gameshowsecrets.com  It is only ten dollars.
Cheers</description>

		<description>I am with you Marlene- My husband and I did the June 15th game it was just so funny that a whole lot of I's were called and then someone in the 200 called out bingo when it just was not possible to have BINGO at that time in the game.
We ended up winning on the White Card and I have not yet received anything... it was supposed to be a $5 dollar card to a sub place. The date now is 7/9/07. It was clearly a bust to begin with and it was a shame I wasted my time for 2 weeks hoping to win something big.  I hope they never put it back on the air again.</description>

		<description>Funny.  

Yesterday I was sorting through some old CD's and I came across one from Belinda Carlisle (Runaway Horses).  On the back cover there are 2 "causes" listed, one PETA.  Interestingly enough, the 2nd "cause" from a group, Earth Communications Office - anyone remember them? - lists 7 bullet points on how to save the environment.  They end with this quote:  "We Only Have 10 Years To Save Our Planet  It Starts With You and It's Easy"

Anyone venture to guess when this album was released???!!!!  :o)</description>

		<description>I tried out for the college version of Jeopardy! several years ago.  Out of a ballroom full of people, a handful of us passed the test.  Then, we played a mock version of the game.  One of the guys there was a supernerd from a well regarded private university in the south.  They guy was a spaz and surprise - didn't make it on the show.  But, the only two females in our group made it on and the only African-American made it on.  

TV is all about image, and the producers of Jeopardy! obviously wanted a diverse group.  Most of us were seniors, so underclassmen had a better chance of making it on the show.  Unfortunately for me, I was in all the overrepresented categories: Caucasian, male, senior (plus the African-American guy was from my university and they certainly didn't want two of us on the show).  

It's a free market and the producers can put anyone they want on the show.</description>

		<description>You can check the numbers called on the ABC website by 12noon the Saturday after the game.  I think the game is fun, my kids are 9 and 7 and they can play too.  It's our family Friday night thing and we have gotten one Blue game Bingo!!</description>

		<description>I would love to have more information on Italy's "Tombola".  Sounds very interesting.  I would like to know the meaning of the rest of the numbers.  Thanks, Pw.</description>

		<description>Ok, so last night June 15, the numbers being called on the 'white' game are mostly under 'i'  and some joker stands up as one with only 1 needed to win, when g57 is called.  Impossible!  There were no numbers under 'b' or 'o' called. Was he just confused or is abc's game messed up.  I hope this game isn't bogus, it's so fun.</description>

		<description>Yay watched it today and guess what? It's scam worthy! Why you ask? well simple the show is taped which means they know the results before letting you print suposedly random tickets. Also game is listed as a non-state sanctioned game it's a sweepstakes, which means there is no gaming commision to make sure that there is fair play. Lastly you have to print the cards meaning you waste ink and paper. In the long run it's cheaper to play a cpl lottery tickets which actualy do have a random chance. Than it is to be scammed into watching an hour of TV commercials and adds.</description>

		<description>Pure bs! The way this is set up, it is next to impossible for HOME players to BINGO. But even if someone did, the 'PRIZE' (5 bucks worth at KMART, or some bs CD no one ever heard of!) wouldn't even cover the cost of the INK wasted printing the damn 'CARDS'! What a pile of crap!

		<description>My husband and I watched the first show and we each had 5 cards, no winners.  He bet me this show was a scam. I did not believe him.  We printed out a total of 90 (3 per page 270 single cards) for this week 6/1 - not one winner.  BUT, the real clincher was when no bingo could have won and the contestant won so another ball was spit out and LO and BEHOLD, it was conveniently a "B".  Needless to say, we will not watch again.  It's a shame because I was looking forward to a good honest hour of tv.   Also, the prizes you could win really suck.</description>

		<description>June 01, 2007, playing 12 cards.
RED - zero bingo, White - Zero bingo,
I got a Blue card bingo, before anyone on TV.  They drew 2 more numbers, after I had already got my bingo.
According to WIKEPEDIA, 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bingo_%28US%29  ,
There are 552,446,474,061,128,648,601,600,000 (five hundred fifty-two septillion, four hundred forty-six sextillion, four hundred seventy-four quintillion, sixty-one quadrillion, one hundred twenty-eight trillion, six hundred forty-eight billion, six hundred one million, six hundred thousand) possible arrangements of the numbers on a bingo card.
Mine BLUE card bingo is horizontal middle row, B3, I22,G53, O70.  I should be the ONLY one with a bingo in this position, based on above odds.
Anyone else got a bingo?</description>

		<description>On May 31st, 2007 a question asked what scale measured intensity of earthquakes.  I looked it up:

The Richter scale measures the magnitude of earthquakes, and the Mercalli scale measures their intensity.-Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc.
The Mercalli scale measures the intensity, not the Richter scale.  Just thought I would tell you.
How can I get a chance on the show??

		<description>they need to edit better though because the way they had the game go is how people were supposed to mark their bingo cards.  If they are editing, then isnt that still a form of manipulation.

i thought it interesting.</description>

		<description>Wendy, remember that the show is heavily edited, and that the ball dropping down the chute is likely just a quick cut of another ball, not the actual ball.  But hey, the producers say the game's legit, so we should all believe them, riiiight? :-)</description>

		<description>We were watching the show "National Bingo Night" for Friday night May 25th, 2007 on our TIVO.  We slowed down the numbers as they came out of the shoot and noticed that the number that came out for the last contestant was not the same number that the girl showed.  The shoot clearly (when slowed down) was green N36 however she pulled up green 061. 

Now I wonder about these other game shows on any channel as to how real they are.</description>

		<description>I claimed mine on Sun May 20.  Oddly, no confirmation email or anything else.  I wonder if there was a drawing from the winning cards, or more likely, the winners were pre-arranged. Seems like a big waste of time. In the rules, no mention of any auditing or anything else to give a hint of fairness.  (SCAM?) 
Hope the show cancels.</description>

		<description>I totally agree. This BINGO show could have really been good, as suggested like playing coverall for 1 million bucks, or 4 corners, X and you get the idea for REALLY big money, but $10,000 at K-MART. Also getting fed up with "English" MC's getting shoved down out throats he just DOESN't cut it AT ALL!!! It moves TOO slow, and the STUPID "games" are confusing, and your sitting there at home like,"GET ON WITH IT!" Whet the HELL does a crossword puzzle have to do with BINGO? sombody PLEASE BEAT THESE GOOFS THAT COMEUP WITH THIS CRAP. The idea was a good one, but they screwed it up royally and it won't last anoth week or two unless its "paid for" and they just let it run it episodes out. They could have had a LIVE BINGO GAME, and after ALL of the commercials that made it seem like it would be live and quick, WHAT A LETDOWN IT WAS!!!!</description>

		<description>I watched this show once. One night a Yale grad, male, who happened to be very attractive was a contestant. I remember thinking they not only picked a smart Yale grad but an attrative man to boot.

The next contestant was a woman with a very nice figure in tight clothing including skin tight designer jeans. They did many shots from behind. I found that odd. First, that a woman appearing on national television would not find something more fancy to wear than skin tight jeans and a tight top, both casual wear if you ask me, but also, the constant shots including her buttocks-- I don't recall shots showing the back of the contestants from any game show, including "Millionaire". That woman didn't have much knowledge and I wondered how they do the casting, even for "Wheel of Fortune" they have audition stages and the people have to actually have some clue and ability to play. 

Lastly though, one contestant was an older man, way over 50, and not attractive.</description>

		<description>Well my biggest gripe is that they claimed that the last contestant of the first night had a "1 in 128" chance of guessing six right. The problem is that there are only 75 balls. So at any time it is impossible for her to have more than a 1 in 75 chance. Now for this game, she had to guess red or black. (It wasn't stated, but I'll assume that there somehow were an equal number of each ball color.) So she really had about a 50% chance the first time, and it got better as the game progressed. (In short, her correct guesses were all independent).
Oh, and</description>

		<description>You people really are hilarious.

This is one of the funniest sketches Saturday Night Live has done in their 32 year history and it's being treated this way over a school shooting that happened AFTER the sketch was aired?

Are you serious?</description>

Any Idea how many bingos for the RED, WHITE and BLUE cards?  Are there 100's or 1000's, or 10,000s? or more?</description>

		<description>Their website has been hit harder than they expected. The card printing has been an issue for days (I couldn't enter in the security code either. It wouldn't show up) Tonight the card printing page is down along with the redeeming of prizes.
Their rules state the first one to enter in a winning number will use that # and no one else can. What if someone else 'wings it' or mistypes and uses my winning ticket #. I am then out-a-luck. I want to get that # in first. I would have thought they would have been more prepared for such a huge site.</description>

		<description>The show moves too slow, and to have the first contestant win his goal, and lose to an audience member who has bingo- seems masochistic by the producers. America wants to see big winners- not losers... Lots of editing and sweetening...the ratings will be interesting.</description>
