Strangeness of reality

The "burning" question drives us both over the edge every morning.. Me more than mom, and here's the reason why.. There's a local nutjob on the radio that has his morning segment that is called the burning question and it can be off the nut type of questions, some of the more obvious answers aren't the answer at all, not even close.. So why??  Why does it bother me??  Well they also have a show called swap shop and occasionally people call that have their radio volume turned up enough to where there is that echo effect thing.. But on this burning question, you can't ever hear that, it has never happened so far as we know... What I figure goes on is he takes calls while he has a song playing in real time, and tapes the phone calls.. And what else bothers me is when you call some shows you get to hear the callers in front of you so you don't make the same mistake as the caller in front of you (yes I have called several shows before, most having to do with rock music or sports) and so you should hear the previous callers guess.. But here that isn't the case.. Either he is taping it, or he has incredible control.. When someone gives the incorrect answer and then the next person gives the same answer my thinking is did they hear the wrong answer and either think hey I wasn't thinking, maybe that is the right answer.. Or they have a single one track mind that they are thinking they are right, and hearing the person give the wrong answer in front of them just think their answer was wrong but mine will be right even though it is the same answer.. No these people can't hear the previous callers answer otherwise I think they would change their minds..  Some time I might have to try this to see if I'm right... Today they kept answering the same answer every caller had the same thing.. DUH... There  can't be  that many idiots about can there...  Maybe I'm wrong..

I've said I am watching a series on netflix called Survivors (not the reality show)  ....  It is about a virus wiping out 99% of the human race.. And what happens when those people that do survive get together and start to go about the task of living.. The stories are good but the show has a 12 episode run and I wasn't sure it was going to move along at all.. Last night the series moved along a little.. What happens when a show like this or the show Jerico get to the meat of the process is everyday living as we know it now is disrupted completely.. They turn the clock back in some instances to early America or in the case of Survivors, London.. But basically the shows become kind of like the old show Bonanza.. Kind of the old west frontier living type of thing even though you are set in a city.. So even though the shows still have your cars and stuff it basically is the old western type of feel to them.. They go from communal setting to communal setting trying to fit in and helping but not staying with the new people.. To me if there were only a few million people in the world I would think getting along might be a little easier..  These are interesting shows to watch but they do have that old western television feel to them...

(P.S. I watched a few minutes of that dreaded American Idol (A.I.) and on one of the sites I follow on Facebook I put a comment about the show stating that I forgot it was on, forgot about the circus and that that Minaj creature was screwing with my colour on my tv set.. That her hair color is color of the day and her lips are "Puke Nuts Pink".. That might actually be a color in lip paint, not sure...)
