Did anyone see that goose who won the million on Who Wants To Be a Millionaire tonight? What a flamin' drongo.
Gets to the million dollar question. Question pops up, which asks which of the four was never named Time's "Man of the Year". Hitler, Khomeini, Stalin or Mao Zedong. As soon as all four pop up I say, "Mao Zedong!" Unfortunately for everyone watching, this drongo then spends the next 20 minutes trying to figure out who it is.
He goes on about how Charles Lindbergh was the first, but then ten minutes later says, "Or one of the other aviators". It was Lindbergh you goose. If I had been on the show I would have even said that the whole "Man of the Year" thing started because Time dropped the ball and didn't bother having a big feature article on Lindbergh at the time he invented the lightbulb or whatever it was he did. But no, I wasn't on the show, so we all had to put up with this dingbat carry on about everything else under the sun but the actual answer to the question.
He used his 50/50 and got rid of Hitler and Stalin. He said he thought it might have been Stalin, which made me more irate because Stalin was named Man of the Year TWICE. What a jerk. The Millionaire bloke, not Stalin, although Stalin was a bit of a jerk too.
Then he went on about how if he just won the $32k he was going to donate it. Answer the damn question! It was around this time that I started crying. Make it stop!
Finally he locked in D, only because he knew that Khomeini was named Man of the Year in the 70s. Unfortunately, even though this process of elimination meant that the only possible answer was the one that was left, he still wasn't sure. But he locked it in anyway. And won the million.
What a loser. OK, a loser who won a game show, but still a loser. I feel stupider for having watched it tonight.
