Deal Or No Deal (A New Low)

This new "game show" Deal Or No Deal reveals just how far we've fallen in America. No more tough questions, no more test of the human mind, no more, well...thinking.

I can see the producers of the show presenting the idea to NBC, "Yea, most viewers are confused by the difficult questions of other game shows so we thought we'd just have a bunch of boxes on stage and contestants would just point and say 'I WANT BOX 4! THE ONE WITH A 4 ON IT!'" And then they can jump around the stage like nobody their age should ever do.

So yes, America has now reached the level of entertainment where an HOUR LONG show features people pointing at numbered boxes for money. Yep, that's it. And now I'm seeing ads for the return of American Gladiators. Hello progress!

Is this not the greatest time to be alive?
