Calling all people who like to watch other people fight each other! Liberal knee-jerker Jon Stewart and conservative toothless bulldog Bill O’Reilly are planning on mixing it up again—though this time you’ll have to pay to watch their verbal slapfight. Called “The Rumble in the Air-Conditioned Auditorium: O’Reilly vs. Stewart 2012,” the two will be debating each other in a live-streamed event at George Washington University on Oct 6 at 8 pm ET. And it will only cost you $4.95 to watch it. IS THIS SOMETHING YOU WOULD WANT TO DO? (If so, you can pre-order the debate here, and rest somewhat assured that much of the money is going to “a number of charities.”) OR IS THIS SOMETHING YOU DO NOT WANT TO DO? Check out the trailer and let’s vote!
Bang bang, choo-choo train, let me see you shake that thang. Wm. Steven Humphrey is the editor-in-chief of the Portland Mercury and has held the job since 2000. (So don’t get any funny ideas.) More by Wm. Steven Humphrey
Man, I NEVER get the chance to see political arguments based on disputed basic realities succeed in persuading precisely no one during their inevitable slide into the muck of pointless, ad hominem attacks.
JUST $5?!?!11?
CC has to spend that $5 on some more fancy words.
Fun Fact: Bill O’Reilly used to be an anchor on KATU
Why would I pay $5 for this when every highlight (from both sides) will be endlessly posted on facebook for free?
I’d pay 5 bucks to watch Colin fight Joneser.
I’d pay TSW Joneser to watch Colin fight $5.
