Great Antiques Roadshow Spoof
May 6th, 2008 3 comments link to (permalink) posted by david
On the antiques roadshow, people lug along ancient pieces of unwanted crap – sorry priceless heirlooms, in order to find out how much they are worth so that they can fantasize about immediately flogging them and moving to Florida. Trinket owners play along with the genteel history lesson charade, pretending to be interested in some bone-grindingly dull anecdote from an expert in Chinese foot binding stools, or whatever, followed by the fake rhetorical question – have you ever thought about what its worth? Answer: Oh no, not really – I’d never, never sell it.
At this point, if the expert didn’t actually give the price, the owner would, of course, instantaneously beat her to a bloody pulp. I love the Antiques Roadshow, its my favorite TV program, and I love this trailer for BBC HD.
Worth it, even as a link rather than an embed: Link

upon looking for comedy documentaries an ad for what appears to be porn (simpsons cartoon porn) there is just one frame posted of an old man pointing a finger at a child with no pants on. i have spent years working with children this is not an 18 or 19 yr old posing as a child this is a pre-pubescent child this is sick and needs to be removed from your site. unfortunately i wont know if it is as i will not be returning to this site! you are promoting child porn!!!!!!!!! i am forwarding this to the FBI
