So the new commish came out and said that the HOF voters should not be 'conducting their own investigations' into who did and didn't use steroids.

FBI stats showed no murders in Newtown, CT in 2012, but that's due to some odd bookkeeping-- the state police handled the response instead of the local cops, so the deaths were listed under "State Police Misc.".

edit: Also 9/11 was a hoax perpetrated by Cory Lidle.

Also, the kids didn't specifically volunteer to be on the show. They just grabbed random people at the Universal Studios theme park and asked if they wanted to be on the show quick. They literally shot entire seasons in one day, which is why the host would sometime make shitloads of mistakes and verbal miscues; he was exhausted after filming for 12+ hours.

Did they neglect to mention it was a game show, or make them think they were in the audience? Regardless, Nickelodeon game shows holding kids hostage and making them play stupid quiz games would be amazing.
