I agree, if Bob had been spayed or neutered this wouldn't have happened. Er ....

... Why is this surfacing now? Just curious why it's such a big deal that some woman fifteen years ago didn't have the common sense to say, "No, Bob. Twenty-five and seventy-five add up to one dollar, not ninety-five cents"?

Seriously. I just ... don't get it.

Man, I had to watch that about five times before figuring out what the mistake was.

Why is this surfacing now?

Maybe Drew Carey's PR people dug it up and put it out there with the hope of making their man look not so bad by comparison.

Or maybe Bob Barker's PR people put it out there to remind people that he's still alive.

Or maybe one of the woman's estranged children put it out there as an act of revenge.
