Perhaps one of the best demonstrations of the ostensible
"superiority" which most Americans assume was in the television
series "Friends" when the character Joey [who is rather
feeble-minded] is watching "the wheel" where the board shows _OUNT
RUSH_ORE and he is shouting at the screen "Oh COME ON, it's Count
Rushmore, it's Count Rushmore!'
Indeed!
Have you checked out "deal or no deal" or "1 vs 100" or "the Rich
List"? It's getting increasingly easy to win huge wads of cash on
game shows. It's really the only reason I regret living in Canada.
Oh, for one try at Jeopardy!
