I saw a tumbleweed blow by the CNN newsdesk :7

2. but...but....I'm a POW! Patriarchal Barbie has invigorated my base!

(sarcasm)

[votetastic]

3. Maybe they shouldn't have..

told everybody that it would likely be cancelled..

[ComplimentarySwine]

4. I thought that it WAS canceled?

Did they go ahead and start the convention after telling everyone that it was all-but-postponed until Tuesday?

[Berry Cool]

5. It's their party

and they'll cry if they want to.

[vaberella]

6. It was pretty bad.

FauxNews showed a lot of empty sections. The entire back and right side.

I think even a reporter on FN said, "What happened to the 50,000 they were expecting?"

Then there was also the riots and protests outside. Crazy stuff.

7. Look at it this way... they can claim it would have been great except for Gustav ruining everything.

8. I was LOL'ing when Mrs. Boob kept saying "OK, OK, thank you, thank you, OK, sit down..."

As though the crowd was ROARING when she came on stage, when in the background you could see half the seats were empty and the noise level was relatively minor.

:rofl:
