Please point out where I called you an idiot, or otherwise insulted you. You had just completely ignored what I had actually posted and claimed that I was saying something completely different. You clearly either did not understand what I was saying, or deliberately chose to ignore it in favor of a strawman (at least I can’t think of another explanation). Since I would prefer to believe ignorance than deliberate deceit, I tried to make my position clearer. I prefaced those remarks with a movie quote, as a bit of a joke. Nowhere in my messages did I ever disparage or insult you. Now, I laughed my ass off at your response to that, I thought it was funny. But in light of the above quoted post to samclem, now I’m wondering if you were actually trying for insulting sarcasm rather than the humorous kind I thought.
I just saw Bob Eubanks, in a show called “Most Outrageous Game Show Moments”, produced in 2002. He introduced this clip, along with an apology to all the people he told over the years that it never happened. He also said that when he was invited to participate in this show, his first instinct was not to do it, knowing that they had the clip and were planning to show it…
They rolled the clip. There is, as was amply established above, no doubt that she says, “In the ass.” There was no bleep sound, merely a sound drop for a moment.
So - no news about the clip, but an update about Eubanks.
Please don’t do this. He WASN’T vindicated. There is still no evidence that Lib saw such a video where the contestant actually verbalized any words that resemble butt, ass or anything related. He didn’t.
He may have seen an outake wherein the contestant said such a thing on the film, but the offending word(s) were bleeped.
The outake film involved has been shown on tv. No one disputes that. If someone tell me that Lib saw it on tv in 1988, I won’t dispute them. But if they tell me Lib heard the contestant on tv say “up the butt” or “in the butt” or “in the ass”, then I’ll call such a person a liar.
Damn! What I meant by saying that the contestant didn’t verbalize the offending words was:
The contestant actually spoke the words. No one can dispute that. The offending words in the clip were never allowed to be verbalized on tv. They were always bleeped.
So, again, no one watching that clip on tv, has heard those words. That’s what I meant.
As I said in the original thread way back in the Triassic era, a person who says they saw something on TV many years ago that they didn’t actual see is more likely to be simply misremembering than to be lying. Memory is a tricky thing.
The clip was uncensored in Confessions. I had seen it before on one of the previous “game show outtakes” shows a year or two ago, and recognized it as the same clip.
(It was a great movie, by the way–I highly recommend it.)

Ditto (though when did you “just” see it? Did they replay it: I wanted to tape it, cus they had some great segments (much funnier) in there).
Still unexplained is how Eubanks could have ever forgotten something like that. As his clips from Roger and Me show, he seems to be quite tickled by crude sexual humor, and you’d think that this would be a story he’d repeat quite a bit.
There is actual footage(that doesn’t seem to mach up with what Libertarian claims to have seen), but we still have one question that hasn’t been answered afaik.
Was this footage originally aired on national television, or was it a censored outake that was cut from the show and kept in a vault? If it never aired until the outtakes special from 2002, then Lib never saw it.
I have read all these threads, and I can’t believe the furore involved.
However, a theory: was the program aired live when it first came out, or was it pre-recorded? If live, Lib could both have seen and heard it during its original broadcast.
Well, as I already said before, this is not the one that I recall. The response was from the man. I’m not really sure whether what I saw was an out-take or not, only that my roommate at the time saw it with me, and we later verified that a woman in Louisiana saw it around the time that we did. Someone suggested that we might have seen an SNL skit or something. I have conceded that that is possible. The only thing that I will not concede as possible is any assertion that is similar to the one Eubanks made, namely that nothing like it ever happened.
Some people are so militantly skeptical on this board that they become as blind to truth as the most gullible among us. There are few people less rational than an intelligent person who can’t admit they’re wrong. Everyone would do well to remember this fallacy, one too often overlooked during debates around here:
