Bill Oreilly Contest
Edited on Wed Jan-18-06 11:41 AM by grahamhgreen
I'm not sure if this has been posted. I AM sure that all intelligent debaters will be culled from the finalists.

Would you like to sit on the set of "The Factor" and let Bill O'Reilly have it?! The Great "Factor" Debate contest is underway and here's the deal:

During the month of February six lucky "Factor" viewers will be flown to New York City or Los Angeles (depending on which city we're broadcasting from) with hotel and meals paid for by us.

All you have to do is convince us by e-mail (and later by telephone) that you are a good debater and that you can hold your own with O'Reilly on a topic of your choosing.

Good luck!

A complete look at the contest rules is below:

1. The great loofah vs. felafel debate
I can argue either side especially after I have had about two glasses of wine.

3. I guess it's the ability
to debate that counts and not the depth of the subject matter.

"O'Reilly won the deabte!"

"What did they debate?"

"Who cares?"

5. O'Rielly is getting desperate
Real pundit will no longer sit and be bashed by the turd, so now he is going to go after anyone who will sit in the chair.
Who needs this kind of abuse?

6. I don't think I'd do it
I would be too afraid that I'd punch that asshole in the face within the first couple of minutes. He's never shown any ability to actually debate and I just know that I wouldn't be able to keep myself cool enough to not kick him in the balls.

7. Here's the crucial rule:
"Sponsor reserves full editorial rights to edit the segment and determine whether or not to air it. "

8. Reminds
reminds me of the time Ali lost his liscense to box and wrestled bears and sumo guys. Certainly a low point in anyones career, especially Billy's which is full of low points.
