Now he can't harrass the Price is Right girls.

Young Edsel · 11-02-2006, 07:21 PM

But then who's going to tell my to get my pets spayed or neutered?

Bomby · 11-02-2006, 07:50 PM

Maybe he should've been spayed or neutered.

**March of the Covenant** · 11-02-2006, 08:25 PM

Maybe you should stop making fun of him you bastards.

Bomby · 11-02-2006, 08:27 PM

He deserves it. That pig.

**Sean P Kelly** · 11-02-2006, 08:33 PM

Actually yeah, I think you should stop. The Price is Right is the longest running game show in history. I think the guy deserves a little respect.

Bomby · 11-02-2006, 08:36 PM

Fine.

Is Pat Sajak off limits for mockery?

**March of the Covenant** · 11-02-2006, 08:44 PM

No mocking Pat either, but you can mock Alex Trebek.

Bomby · 11-02-2006, 08:54 PM

I got sick of mocking Trebek years ago.

Young Edsel · 11-02-2006, 09:28 PM

Mock the girls on the gameshow "Playmania"

**Sean P Kelly** · 11-02-2006, 10:09 PM

Don't mock anybody (creating this topic was a bad idea)

Bomby · 11-02-2006, 10:31 PM

Damn Sean, it's not like he died.

**Sean P Kelly** · 11-03-2006, 08:25 AM

^ What you're only going to pay respect to someone if they're dead?

If this topic doesn't smarten up soon, I'm closing it.

I never understood why a gameshow host would tell people what to do with their pets.

From Wikipedia:

Quote:

Animal rights

Ever since his wife died (October 19, 1981), Barker has been an outspoken member of the animal rights movement and is known for ending every episode of The Price Is Right since the early 1980s by saying, "Help control the pet population. Have your pets spayed or neutered." This practice was also done by now-dead game show hosts Jack Barry and Bert Convy. When the United States Postal Service created a series of postage stamps on this subject, one of the shows had a small segment whose only purpose was to publicize them. CBS respects Mr. Barker's stance and offers only those prizes that would compliment Bob's cause (although for the first ten years the shows did feature fur coats as prizes, and Barker has since forbidden the airing of those past episodes that featured fur coat prizes). To this day, Bob Barker's "DJ&T Foundation" contributes millions of dollars to fund animal rescue and park facilities all over the country.
