Update #1: An Example of How it Works

Posted on November 2, 2009

Here's an example of a question that includes my answer!
Would you set up a phony charity along the lines of Make-A-Wish, with the sole intention of disappointing terminally ill children?

Little kids are funny. But much, much less so when they are dying. Maybe it’s the constant agony and pain or the facing your mortality at a ridiculously young age or maybe they just stop trying, but dying kids are really no laughing matter, and neither are get-rich-quick schemes at their expense. Trust me, I know (don’t ask). And as much as that Mr. Show skit where Bob and David play these two sleazy idiots who run “Dream of a Lifetime” — a shitty “Make-A-Wish” knock-off that asks dying kids their dreams and half-half-asses trying to fulfill them, and then never does to the extreme — is hilarious, in real life, that kind of thing is not so funny. It’s cruel and awful and if you’re like, “Me? Oh, I’m in importing and exporting and defrauding dying kids. Them little terminally ill bastards are where the real money is!” then there is probably something wrong with you, in my expert medical opinion. (I am Dr. Psychologist Lady, E.S.P.) So no on this one, but that skit is really fucking funny and you should watch it (here: http://www.youtube.com/watch.... Really.
