Agreed! And it reminded me of the 30 Rock where Tim Conway played the crazy super offensive old actor:
"I wandered the building all night. I didn’t run into another single living soul. Except one giant lesbian. Who is Conan O’Brien, and why is she so sad?"
Yes, I loved that concert ticket scene too-- it was so nice to see Betty smile genuinely for ONCE and it was such a kind, unexpected Dad thing to do for Don. Have we ever seen such a moment for Sally? Poor girl. This is definitely the calm before the storm for her, and by "storm" I mean "hard-drugging and whoring it up."
Not to get all mathy up in here, but those 25,000 boxes are constantly rotating among households, not staying put, so I don't think it's SO egotistical of Charles Barkley (first time that's ever been said??) or me to think they might run into someone who'd had one at one point. Unlikely one you crunch the numbers, yes, but probably most people assume (as I did) that they're surveying more people than that. And, as Kateness mentioned, there's the diary type of recording too, which I guess Nielsen does a lot more of than boxes.
I had just assumed that, if they're actually taking a statistically significant sample, I would have run into someone who'd done it in my 87 years on this earth. Or maybe I have and they've been mum about it, as Holly mentioned. (Not me, I'd be Facebooking the crap out of that news -- WHO WANTS THEIR SHOW SAVED, BITCHES??)
I think we can all agree it seems like an outdated system at this point, though.
That depends, I think? When I was in India, the local guy we were with told us it was only OK to eat the outside of the samosas we got from a shop because in his words"they don't always wash their hands and the filling doesn't get hot enough" -- he didn't even eat the filling. But I ate in sit-down restaurants in Delhi and was just fine. And you should definitely definitely not drink the water as a visitor.
That said, this show is still the worst.
Maybe I'm a hopeless optimist, but I feel like if we just ignore Outsourced and tell anyone we know with a Nielsen box (which, by the way, do they even really exist? Because I have never in my life known someone who got one) to steer clear, this garbage show will disappear, Parks and Rec will come back sooner than planned, and we'll be all:

Flanders: Looks like we're going to have an imagination Christmas this year.
Rodd & Todd: Yaaaayyy! Imagination Christmas!
Rodd: I got a pogo stick!
Todd: I got a hula hoop!
I appreciate what she's trying to do, but it's hard for me to take her seriously when her idea of dressing for maximum credibility evokes Charles Nelson Reilly. (I'm sorry. I'm 100 years old!)

It is RIDICULOUS that Jenny was let go from SNL and this proves it! Just keep being funny on the internet, Jenny, we love you and will never fire you.
ps-Soft Gabe is funny toooo
The transmission tower fixing business is still back in the stone age while I use my hoverboard as an ottoman!
They need to unionize or something. Demand change, guys! Robots should be doing your work by now!
Horrible, horrible movie. Also, Pattinson, Claire from Lost, and Pierce Brosnan are all supposed to be New Yorkers, and it's actually Brosnan who botches the accent the most! Oh, so bad.
Yes a thousand times yes to The Happening. Gabe, there are so many unintentional laugh-out-loud moments that watching it becomes almost more of a joy than a chore? Almost.
Look, I came here to hate on this awful parade of horrors, but then I got to the part where the "stars of The Social Network" intro'd Mary J. Blige and now I forget what I was going to say because I have to announce my imaginary engagement to Andrew Garfield. We're going to be SO HAPPY in our house of LORRIES, guys.
I just remembered something: did anyone else notice the earpiece action going on at the elimination dinner? Gail Simmons and Dana Cowin were both clearly wearing them while eating and I couldn't figure out why. Were they listening to a Yankees game or are the producers telling them what they should/shouldn't like? Am I going out of my way to find something to be interested in during this awful season? Yes and Yes.
I miss Tiffany! She would've told Ed to stop being such a douche about having immunity. Or SHE would have won immunity. Or she could lend Ed another dress to run around in.
I didn't cry but I was suuuuper bummed out and second your emotion!
Now that Tiffany's gone, I really don't care who wins. As long as it isn't Angelo because I don't think we as Americans should be enabling him to procreate with his Russian mail-order bride.
Good lord, Mans -- these are all so fascinating and I've never heard of most of them. Thanks for credits earned towards my major in Obscure Awesome Things here at Videogum U.
