Drew Carey takes a stand. Good for him!
"And is there any show more inherently free-market-oriented than The Price Is Right, which teaches more about price theory and the subjective theory of value in an hour than most intro econ courses do in a semester."
--Nick Gillespie
Moreover, what do you picture when you think of someone who watches TPIR? Filter out from that caricature the people who will still be alive ten years from now, and what else do you think they're doing with their time while they're sitting at home watching that show?
Posted by Matt Bruce at November 2, 2007 01:10 PMMaybe I'm a bad sample, but stoner/slacker TPIR watchers seem as mythical to me as Reaganesque Cadillac-welfare queens. The first people who come to mind are the very religious Steve Beverly, and our straitlaced Keenan friends. (of course, they all have actual things to do during airtime).
