Wow, some pharmacist commercial for I don't even know what has got to be the worst commercial I have ever heard . . . I thought it was a joke a first, this guy repeatedly talking about his ass or something, but I think it's meant to be legitimate.

Well I just posted on FB. How can people do this kind of thing? It's just wrong. I don't like doing these kind of events, never have.

Quote from: wotr1 on April 23, 2015, 10:55:10 PMYour points are well taken about ADHD and autism -- I, too, could find nothing online other than the concept of one being confused for the other or the two potentially co-existing. Thanks for clarifying.
Being high functioning (Aspergers) I would agree that you can learn social skills over time (God, I hope that I have...) You also develop a "rolodex" of "proper" responses to give even if you do not feel them (for example, George would have "learned" that finding joy in dead children is inappropriate and changed his response in order to better fit in.)
Also, unless something major has changed, ADHD is not on the spectrum. Aspergers is now officially Autism (perhaps you are confusing the two?) I only pulled up a few links, but ADDitude magazine has lots of articles trying to help people (parents?) determine if it is ADD or Autism. autism.org.uk tells you in the article that many kids with Autism also have ADHD (it differentiates.) Psych central also says that many kids with Autism show ADHD traits (it differentiates).

As I said... I think that you will have to keep him as a defective "normal." Possibly one with ADD (but I even question that.)
Quote from: UFQuack on April 23, 2015, 12:31:02 AMMr Harvard is also a bit clueless. George makes some asinine remark about how college graduates can't find a job in their field anymore. Anyone who has read the research knows that a sizable amount of college graduates -- around 40 percent according to one study -- historically has either not found a job or not found a job in their major.
Robert Putnam might as well have been burping out his asshole for an hour and half and it would accomplish as much. Why don't Jorch and Mr. Putnam give up their jobs so all these "poor children" can get to work. Hell I'm sure some of them would do a better job hosting than Jorch does--even right now as little kids!
Quote from: Humilia Lepus Foramen on April 21, 2015, 11:58:34 PMADHD now falls on the autism spectrum, so in one form, he does have it.
Think that was his parents he said was an arranged deal.
Also by his own admission he has some sort of speech impediment and ADHD, that partially explains why he is how he is, especially if he doesn't believe in meds as his show topics would imply.
Quote from: zeebo on April 21, 2015, 11:58:09 PMWell, if he's an android, my bet is it's closer to Uniblab on The Jetsons.
I wondered last nite if anyone noticed when the guest (the one who got bumped) mentioned that much of his time is spent in physical therapy as he recovers from somehow almost dying and George very oddly just completely ignored it, skipping right to the next question without showing an ounce of common human interest or empathy for the guy. It was really quite strange I thought, showing a kind of complete detachment.
My theory is maybe George is some kind of android prototype, who's emotion chip hasn't quite been worked out. Kind of like an early Data from Star Trek. Perhaps his neural net has not quite evolved enough, or maybe one time he drank a slurpee too fast at that gas station and it froze up his primitive personality circuitry.
Quote from: Humilia Lepus Foramen on April 21, 2015, 11:49:36 PMI think the topic deserves full conversation, so I've started a thread about it.
^Yes, for the most part I'd agree, but he somehow convinced a woman to have his kids so he's not totally socially inept.
Quote from: Route 66 on April 21, 2015, 06:10:44 PMGeorge has got to be the worst conversationalist in entertainment. He has no instinct for it, which is remarkable given that that used to be a pre-requisite for having a talk show. But let's assume that he had to learn to have conservation, the gift of gab not being something he was born with. He's had decades to do so. Decades. And his capacity to hold a conversation is still lacking. I sometimes wonder if George is autistic.
Last night George did it again, when the truck driver from Utah related a tale from the summer of '69. After dropping off a buddy at a girlfriend's house, he turned a corner and found his '53 Ford surrounded by about 20 zombie-like kids, "like on Halloween." He drove slowly, expecting the kids to back away. Instead they moved in, one even climbing on his hood & scratching the windshield with "long bony fingers." The caller said he'd always been freaked out by the incident & wished he could be hypnotized to find out exactly what happened. "We can get you hypnotized" George bellowed, then cut off the caller and asked Joshua P. warren to tell him a story about "wishing wells." I listen to Coast some nights due to insomnia, always hoping for creepy tales like that one but of course the imbecile will cut it off for an infomercial. Where is the curiosity? Why not ask what the kids looked like, how old, did they say anything, what else does he remember? It's too sad, really...
Quote from: paladin1991 on April 04, 2015, 11:38:46 PMYep, it started on time. I could only take a few minutes and then had to tune it out.
Your feed of C2C is already running? I don't know if you are lucky or screwed. Here in the PRC we are listening to Bryan Suits and his show 'A secret dark hole', as a lead in to C2C. C2C having been pushed back 2 hrs here.
