Mad stupid

What the hell is Mad Money? I mean, I understand that it’s a stock-picking show. But what is it? It’s a sweaty bald man walking around a leftover gameshow stage guzzling from a bottle of water and screaming into his lapel mike to Buy!Buy!Buy!

It’s really annoying. I cringe every time I click past it. Didn’t stock-picking shows go out when that bubble market in the late ’90s popped? Or were they ever really “in”? Honestly, the show is ludicrous to most viewers and to people who really care about trading stocks, they probably find it unsophisticated. And unsophisticated is not who you want telling you how to trade stock.

Blech.

    hahaha, i caught a bit of that show one time, and wasn’t sure if i was supposed to be taking it seriously. it reminds me of some really cheap Mad TV skit or something.

    at first, i thought it was one of those really weird late night sports talk shows.

    then i realized it was worse. much worse.

    corey.

    I suppose there are worse things on television. But not many.

    Oh, and most of them aren’t as embarrassingly stupid.

    Granted, I don’t watch much TV but I have never heard of this show. Is it on a particular station?

    CNBC, I think. I don’t know. I usually rush past it.

    That show is AWFUL. Cowbells and ringing sounds and all that yelling… I don’t know what that man is saying half the time. He must be very bored though, because I once posted about stocks on my site and he commented. At least, I think he commented. I doubt someone would be so sad as to pretend to be HIM. Right?

    Agreed.
