Ken Jennings back in the news...

The man who won 74-consecutive games on the show Jeopardy and over 2.5 million dollars posted a few comments about the show and its host Alex Trebek on his website.

In one post, he wrote regarding Trebek, "Nobody knows he died in that fiery truck crash a few years back and was immediately replaced with the Trebektron 4000 (I see your engineers still can't get the mustache right, by the way."

He then posted an apology not long after (if you want to call it that and I don't), saying, "We regret the insinuation that Mr. Alex Trebek is a robot, and has been since 2004. Mr. Trebek's robotic frame does still contain some organic parts, many harvested from patriotic Canadian schoolchildren, so this technically makes him a 'cyborg,' not a 'robot.'"

It's amazing how these things happen. A guy wins 2.5 million dollars off a show and has the nerve to bash it and its host. Perhaps he's still angry that he was beaten by one Nancy Zerg in 2004 and he being what he is, perhaps doesn't believe women should be allowed to be contestants on the show. He'd rather believe that Zerg could be one of his 27 wives working for him at home as opposed to actually showing him up on a trivia game show. That's too bad Kenny. Tell Joe Young and Brigham Smith I said hi and buddy, the sun isn't kryptonite. You're whiter than I am (and that's saying something). And the answer is... The Man So White He's Transparent...
