Honestly WHY the fuck is TBS running A Christmas story 25 hours?

[HEyHEY]

Really? What a dumb Idea..I love the movie..but seriously

[NightTrain]

1. It's running the same film for 25 hours straight? Is that what you mean?

If so, then :wtf:

[HEyHEY]

4. Yup - that's what is going on

By the way - Merry Xmas bud

[NightTrain]

12. And a Merry Xmas to you too, my fellow radio geek!

I'm doing five hours on the air tonight because the guy who precedes me on the air wanted the holiday off. And I'm loving every second of it, y'all!!!

[TrueAmerican]

2. Well, most people don't watch

TV 25 hours a day.

[HEyHEY]

6. I know - but it's the question here

[ashling]

8. I have never watched more than 24 hours a day

[ashling]

3. You'll shoot your eye out , kid!

[sonicx]

5. they do it every year. Cartoon Network does the same with Iron Giant

who knows why...

[NNadir]

26. Iron Giant is a good leftist movie. I watched it with my kids and loved

it.

We've been through a few of those marathons.

[Zomby Woof]

7. 24 hours

Because it rules. It is the universe. It fits every holiday schedule.

[HEyHEY]

10. Very true - but from a network standpoint

I can't see the revenue

[Zomby Woof]

17. makes sense

But, for xmas, the cable channels know they will lose a lot of people to no TV at all, football games, and new DVD's, Playstations, new computers, etc. It's a loss they can absorb, plus, a gimmick they can't resist. It just sounds cool to make it a 'tradition'. Truth be told, I could only watch it once, since I have been steeped in the story since mid-October.

[Beware the Beast Man]

9. It's a day off for (most) TBS employees.

And last night, the Ohio News Network ran a tape of a burning Yule log for 12 hours. Yes, I watched a good portion of it, too.

[CatWoman]

11. USA ran "Jingle All the Way" all day today

they just can't get enough of Arnuhld.

[GOPisEvil]

13. BUMPUSES!!!!!!!

:P

[elperromagico]

15. SONS O' BITCHES!!!

:D

[HEyHEY]

16. AAArrroow AAArrooww

Take that a son of a ...

[Zomby Woof]

19. Now that reminds me

Of the woman who spotted me at the bank the other day and yelled that at me. :D

I realize just how much different the play is from the movie. In the play, I throw the rest of the food out the door, starting with the empty roasting pan... and lots of saucepans... and I yell... it was FUN! :D

[elperromagico]

14. I checked in occasionally, and eventually saw the whole film

over the course of 24 hours.

A Christmas Story is a bit like holiday candy - you pig out on it during the holiday season, and then don't eat it again for 11 months. Then, you pig out again...

Well, you watch A Christmas Story two or three times during the holiday season, and then you don't see it again for 11 months. It's a special, non-fattening treat. :D

[derbstyron]

18. Perhaps when they offered Double Dog Dare

Another network upped the stakes with a "triple dog dare." :shrug:

[elperromagico]

20. LOL, creating a slight breach of etiquette by skipping the Triple Dare.

and going straight for the throat. :D

[ET Awful]

21. Maybe their programming director shot his eye out with his official

carbine action Red Ryder BB gun? :)

[Generic Other]

22. Every time I try and catch it, I come in on the tale end...

the exact same spot!

It's creeping me out!

[terrya]

23. Because TBS is run by sick, sadistic, evil motherfuckers.

That's why.

But this fucking holiday is just about over, so we'll be spared that nauseating piece of shit for another year.

[cruadin]

24. Sooo...you like the movie or no?

[terrya]

25. I loathe it with every fiber of my being. I glory in the fact....

that I am the only person in the world that despises that treachly piece of crap.

[cruadin]

27. OK---I'll put you down as "undecided."

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

28. I've had "Elf" on endless repeat in the DVD player for two days...

...so I've not gotten my yearly dose of "Christmas Story." But 48 hours of "Elf" is a LOT OF ELF.

:evilgrin:

"You really like sugar, don't you?"

"Does syrup have sugar in it?"

"Yes."

"Then...YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!"



:evilgrin:

29. Guns for Christmas

We need to be conditioned properly.
