    to get an idea for the target audience for this show, past 3 commercials have been for eyeglasses with headlights for dim restaurants, fiber bars, and Colonial Penn life insurance... :)

    "What Obama did RIGHT in Mideast policy: taking a page from his predecessor. He blames president bush for most of his problems, why are bush's ideas good enough NOW?"

    "Coming up next: why thousands of your dollars could end up in the hands of game makers." Video of Mario Bros 1 with 'It's Tricky' (Run DMC) playing.

    commercial

    "Could thousands of your dollars end up helping to make this?" Video of what looks to be CoD, showing emptying a clip at a crowd of people and a soldier running while something explodes at their feet

    huge splashing noise, not sure if it was for a boat commercial, because all the hosts look past the camera like a HUGE bucket just got tipped over. (edit: seems like a mis-timed soundboard)

    I never watch mainstream news, and I'm trying to be objective in this reporting, but everything is sooooooo biased - I've heard about the state of commercial news organizations, but I had no idea. Wow.

    "If the rapture happens tonight, the white house would blame president bush"

    "should the video game call of duty get federal funding"

    lol, VERY serious Brian - ahahahaha

    "who gets federal funding?"

    brian - the blockbuster games, the ones you're showing aren't getting money at all

    "why should we fund videogames"

    brian - video games are a valid form of art

    neal - "maybe we should give ping pong players money" "govt is stretching limits" "need to cut wasteful spending"

    brian - "jobs you're talking about, videogaming as an industry that is very strong, creates jobs, inspires children"

    (brian says 'um' a lot, seems very uncomfortable - can't say I wouldn't be, tbh)

    neal - "there's so much wastefulness going on, there's billions of dollars being wasted - give me a break"

    host cuts to next segment

    Fun fact: Ping Pong was used in 1971 by the United States a method of diplomacy to get troops out of S. Korea. http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,920319,00.html.

    Also, many countries give money to ping pong players for the Olympics ;)

    If you don't mind going to liveleak, here is the video.

    I hadn't bothered reading anything about this but the intro was great. Here is Brian he runs a tech website that covers gaming and here is a talk show host.

    ew joe....direct link to foxnews.

    All I can say is that segment was a waste of time because the opponent of the grants did not argue against them.

    Great job Brian. That Neal idiot was such an obnoxious tool...

    I think what got me the most was the analogy of giving ping-pong players federal money. For a smart guy, you'd think he'd understand the difference between PLAYERS of a game and DEVELOPERS of a game.

    That was awesome. Neal didn't know anything about what the actual grant money as going to. He was all HURR DURR WASTEFUL OBAMA.

    Also, I LOL'd at TT's coverage. Nice dude.

    I thought that went pretty well Brian. You managed to do a good job of using actual information and pretty much owned it at the end.

    Beers on me next time!

    Also, srs Brian is srs.
