TPiR, what did I miss? Options

For as much of a genius as Roger is, he's also a bit of a scatterbrain -- he once swore up and down to ClockGameJohn that Give or Keep hadn't survived the 1970s (and to his credit, he corrected himself the next day). With the length of Bob's contract being essentially meaningless, as he had an "out" clause after every season, I can understand how the beginning and end of one might not seem much different to someone who was constantly trying to get him not to retire.

Ohhhh, that's so sweet. A tv producer that's so scatterbrained he doesn't know when his star's contract is up. That's right up there with "They put a "B" next to the African American's names so they would include them."!

Yeah, that and "Let's send the black woman out into the line to do the racist markings!"

Which notion is really more ludicrous?

Yours are Mr Gavazzi. Because sending the black woman out to do the line actually happened.

Well if that's the case, I think she doesn't have one. She should have blown the whistle then, if it is true, as opposed to after getting fired.

Tip: trotting out the same sets of quotations as your defense every time gets old.

Here's a interesting bit from the Curling suit, complaint 43c:

"During her testimony at the Riegert trial, [Curling] testified overhearing conversation between Roger Dobkowitz, a line producer, and Stan Blitz, the person in charge for selecting the contestants for the Show, in which Dobkowitz reprimanded Blitz for choosing too many black contestants in one Show, citing to Blitz that "You and I don't have a problem with it, but Barker doesn't like it. He is not pleased!"

To me, Barker demanded the discriminatory "claims", and Dobkowitz was simply following orders. Considering past instances of doing things Barker didn't like/want got you fired, he probably wanted to keep his job.

(Text of the Curling suit I quoted above is available here, thanks to Chad M. for posting the link over at Golden-Road when I inquired.)

Nobody said it didn't. The issue is why she was making those markings. Bob Barker is a lot of things, but he is not stupid enough to assign a black woman to discriminate against black people.

There are alternate explanations for this. I've put one of them forward, and you've dismissed it out of hand -- and without explaining why beyond "Bob Barker is an evil person."

She did have a case, and received a hefty settlement.
