What can be done to make The View watchable?
Iowahawk and Jim Treacher debate the burning issue:

The Iowahawk View

Jim, in a recent post at the Daily Gut, you said that "I want to see an episode of [The View] where everyone is chained to the floor, audience included, and over the course of the hour the studio is slowly filled to the top with water. In particular, I want to watch the last 5 minutes." While I can't speak to your personal entertainment choices, I think you are grossly underestimating what it would take to make The View watchable to the average sentient human being. . . .

Rebuttal: Jim Treacher

Dear America-hating Communist:

I'm an idea man. I'm not really interested in your "logistic problems." Blah blah blah. We can put a man on the moon (allegedly), but you're telling me we can't drown a few clucking hens? . . .

Rejoinder: Iowahawk

. . . Oh, I suppose I could get on board with your plan if it included electric eels or a climactic shark release into the submerged studio; few of us can resist a bloody feeding frenzy, plus it would provide a potential promotional tie-in with the Discovery Channel. But it would also mean pumping in salt water, and the inevitable rust problems long after the janitors drain the studio and mop up the remains. . . .

Did I say "burning issue"? I meant "drowning".
