red carpet roulette

WTF????At my daughter's talent show Friday night, during act changes, a PTA mom got up and killed time by bringing children up on the steps and having them read off index cards either various knock-knock jokes, riddles, or children's answers to adult questions like 'when should you hold a girl's hand?' and 'how do you know you should marry someone?' .... apparently a representative from the 2008 Oscars was there and so incredibly impressed with our po-dunk north carolina presentation that he/she thought 'hey! what a great idea! I'm going to totally piss oscar viewers off by switching from the red carpet to a stupid kid in a suburban backyard asking a completely non-consequential question.... i'm sorry, producers, are you HIGH???
