Friday Fight: Now What?
Even though Lindsay and Gabe are friends, they very rarely agree on anything. Every day, they have a fight about something. On Fridays, we publish one.
lindsay: So the election is over. Now what videos are we going to watch on the internet?
lindsay: Back to just cats?
lindsay: Full House tribute videos?
gabe: wait, isn't that what you've been watching this whole time?
gabe: it sounds like you're just describing what you've been watching this whole time
lindsay: There were a few beautiful weeks of really crazy people and bad get out the vote ads.
lindsay: Can we keep the crazy people?
gabe: no, those people go back in the basement
lindsay: I'm hoping they all get their own shows
lindsay: Sneaky Monkey McCain Rally guy
gabe: i think you've used up all your hope
gabe: that guy should not get a show
lindsay: Toothless racist lady on a motorcycle
gabe: what are you talking about?
lindsay: They could all be the new View!
gabe: you just want all the racists to get their own shows?
lindsay: They could sit around and discuss hot topics
lindsay: Joe the Plumber could be the Barbara
gabe: well, joe the plumber probably will get his own show
lindsay: the most august, famous of them
gabe: so congratulations
gabe: your wish is probably going to come true
gabe: and you will be so happy
gabe: you and your horrible joe the plumber show
lindsay: Well they could be his guests
gabe: i am really glad that you are not in charge of entertainment
gabe: i used to think that i was glad that you were not in charge of entertainment
gabe: but now i am double glad
gabe: there would jsut be two tv stations
gabe: one would run an endless marathon of Who's Tickling Me reality shows
lindsay: Says the guy who used to spend entire weekends thinking about From Gs To Gents, and now spends them thinking about The Pickup Artist.
gabe: and the other channel would be a 24 hour stream of racist invective
gabe: by angry john mccain supporters
lindsay: it's not "Who's Tickling Me"!!
lindsay: It's SO YOU THINK YOU CAN TICKLE
lindsay: right
lindsay: You know, any YouTube scholar has to admit that a big part of the entertainment of this election were the crazy people.
lindsay: I dont' want them to go back into the woodwork is all
lindsay: they brought our country together in judgment of them
lindsay: like reality tv used to do
gabe: i really feel like
lindsay: before we all got immune
gabe: even if that were true
gabe: it would be great for them to go back into the woodwork
lindsay: Maybe there could be a show like intervention
gabe: that's like saying 9/11 brought america together, we should have more 9/11s
lindsay: but for racists!
gabe: it's great how people feel outraged by racial invective, everything should be filled with it!
lindsay: I guess that's called "Wife Swap" half the time
gabe: haha
gabe: that's true
gabe: Wife Swap is basically the crazy election youtubers getting their own show
lindsay: Yeah, Wife Swap was so ahead of its time. (Ed: or Trading Spouses, whatever, they're the same.)
gabe: i know that this isn't true
gabe: but i actually genuinely feel, at least for the moment
gabe: like it might never be possible to care about heidi and spencer again
gabe: they are the bush years incarnate
gabe: like, you could put all your hatred onto them, but you still had to watch them
gabe: not anymore
lindsay: Yeah
lindsay: They're casualties
lindsay: And they know it.
lindsay: (I hope)
gabe: well, they don't know anything
gabe: there's no reason to expect them to be any more aware now
gabe: then they ever were
gabe: which was always completely unaware
lindsay: Isn't MTV already working on a show about capitol hill interns or something?
lindsay: a DC hills?
gabe: ugh
lindsay: No, Gabe
lindsay: this isn't one of my dumb ideas
lindsay: this is one of MTV's dumb ideas
gabe: haha
gabe: i feel like it's going to be really hard to cast Morgan Freeman as the president now
gabe: that chapter in his career has ended
lindsay: Hahahaha
lindsay: he's going to have to be a villain
lindsay: oh man, last night I saw a promo for Chocolate News
gabe: all of the near-future disaster presidents are going to be women or hispanic from now on
lindsay: and was like "Wow, Chocolate News...we barely knew yee"
lindsay: it's completely irrelevant now
lindsay: haha
gabe: or gay
gabe: a near-future disaster movie with a gay president
gabe: representing how america has progressed
gabe: is going to be hilarious
lindsay: Not that Chocolate News was ever good
lindsay: but now seeing promos for it just makes me sad
gabe: why are you talking about chocolate news?
gabe: i thought the first rule of chocolate news was no one ever talks about chocolate news?
lindsay: hahaha
lindsay: I wonder if Sarah Silverman is worried
lindsay: now that we've come together as a country, maybe her jokes will be actually offensive now
lindsay: instead of just making fun of offensive jokes
gabe: right, because racism is over
gabe: the end
lindsay: a meta level has been shaved off
lindsay: well, that's the joke
lindsay: .com
gabe: all the racists are like "well, the electoral college has shown me the error of my ways"
gabe: i think that if you go back
gabe: through every IM conversation we've ever had
gabe: about anything
gabe: you end up wondering how the subject will affect sarah silverman
lindsay: Sarah Silverman is balancing on the head of a pin
lindsay: I just worry for her
gabe: what are you talking about?
gabe: sarah silverman is doing FINE
lindsay: Oh, her show is great
lindsay: I just mean, it's of the moment
gabe: i will give you a list of the types of people i do not worry about
gabe: rich people
gabe: famous people
gabe: rich famous people
gabe: that's the list
gabe: it is my belief that with their wealth and social status they can, if not manage, hire someone to manage for them
lindsay: is the hills already cancelled?
lindsay: maybe we can set up phone banks and call neilsen families
lindsay: to get shows cancelled
lindsay: Yes We Can
gabe: obama's not the messiah lindsay
gabe: he's not going to be able to fix everything right away
lindsay: I know, but there's a feeling that anything is possible if we all work together!
lindsay: it'll be gone monday
gabe: i don't know
gabe: did you see his press conference today?
gabe: i think it's going to take a really long time
gabe: of seeing the president standing in front of a podium
gabe: NOT sounding like a chuckle-headed moron
gabe: before that feeling totally goes away
gabe: it's pretty exciting every time
lindsay: Yeah, I loved it
lindsay: Especially, of course
lindsay: (say it with me)
lindsay: THE PUPPY PART
gabe: the puppy part, yes
lindsay: He seems really serious though, almost like "Oh shit, what now"
gabe: it's funny because you can totally imagine
gabe: people who did not support him
gabe: seeing the puppy part and just thinking
gabe: the economy is collapsing and the war in iraq is raging and this guy is talking about puppies?!
gabe: and by people who did not support him
gabe: i mean
gabe: the entire roster of talent at Lindsay's TV Station
lindsay: That TV station would do really well, by the way. We could call it Feel Superior TV.
gabe: that tv station would do really well
gabe: it would be called FOX News

I just saw Sarah Silverman off bowery, she was walking with some dude and laughing. So I think she's safe....for now.
Score = 0
Maybe Sarah Silverman can get the job hosting So You Think You Can Tickle when Lindsay TV takes over the world. That sounds like it would be worth watching if we were high enough.
Score = 0
I was flipping from CNN to MSNBC on election night and accidentally turned to VH1 to see Wife Swap had come to my city and followed the family of a girl I went to high school with.
The mother was pissed because the other mother had allocated the money to home improvements and a trip to Rome. The mother actually said [they] don't care about going to Rome [because they're] from 'the hood'".
Score = 0
augh that puppy part was so frustrating and contrived. you just won the presidency, you don't have to drum up any more sentimental support!
Score = 0
Très drole le dialogue, surtout la partie de mettre les 'gens folles' à la cave. Continuez!
