Worst. Show. Idea. Ever.

Almost makes me yearn for "Korg: 70,000 B.C."

Almost.

They might have a point here. How could a guy who has a plate in his lip, dresses his hair with cow dung, goes around wearing nothing but a penis gourd, and actually makes tools out of stone, be considered anything more than just.....different?

Different? In San Fransisco, that's mainstream.

Well... Will DOES have that wonderful flamingo scarf!

But, when Gronk stands erect!

"Journalists and editors need to understand that the use of these terms directly contributes to the suffering of tribal and indigenous peoples all around the world," spokesman Steven Corry said yesterday."

And you howling moonbats from Planet Commie Nutbar need to understand that the proximate cause of vitually all their suffering is that they are being kept "tribal and indigenous." Bring them into the 21st century, for mercy's sake. Would you want *your* children brought up as stone-age primitives?

Riggghht, walking upright, discovering fire, inventing the wheel, laying the foundation for all mankind.

Bzzzzt. Sorry, I can't accept that answer, Ug. According to Discovery Channel the Persians invented the wheel. Apparently it wasn't easy enough for a caveman to do. I'm afraid your chance to progress to the Modern Era Round is over. The lovely Ooma will show you your parting gifts and thanks for playing Evolution.

Not even close.

You're right.

Now if it also included a talking car that is one of them's mother's ghost; and their best buddy is a disguised homosexual extraterrestrial who rents a room from them....
