I'm only 23 and I know these things. Do people actually not know who Barbara Walters is?

#59Almalieque,
Posted: Feb 26 2012 at 1:27 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Since it's killing you so much... Not knowing who Barbara Walters is, at the age of 25 or older, is worse than not having seen a Star Wars movie.
Disagree.
Banh
No, I don't necessarily disagree with him. In general, the average person having never heard of BW is probably worse than having never seen SW. Now, being a gamer and having never seen SW is worse than having never heard of BW since every game genre, except maybe something like Hello Kitty draws something from Star Wars.
Btw Alma, your first reason isn't a reason.

To be fair, I did say that I don't find either situation particularly socially crippling or limiting or what have you. Though, I would be willing to bet money that more US citizens aged 25-30 don't know who Barbara Walters is than haven't seen a Staw Wars movie. So I suppose if that is the case, it's "worse" socially to have not seen a Star Wars movie.

I know who Barbara Walters is, but I honestly didn't know she was the first woman to chair a news program. I am a disgrace to my sex, I suppose.
I also know what Star Wars is, and I prefer the originals because they hold memories. (Also, Han shot first.)
I also know who Edward R. Murrow is, but that is honestly because my husband is in the news business, and he forced me to watch "Good Night, and Good Luck." However, like most of the movies he forces me to watch, I quite enjoyed it and I learned something. Murrow was pretty awesome.
I have no idea who the other guy that Bijou brought up was/is.
And finally, I honestly don't think it matters much if people haven't heard of Barbara or Star Wars. It's not like we're taught about Barbara Walters and her strides for feminism in the media or anything. Now, she's mostly just the old chick on The View who fired Star Jones. In other words, only old ladies and housewives (and people who spend a lot of mornings in doctors offices) know who she is now.
As far as Star Wars Goes... For Christmas, I illegally downloaded a copy of the Star Wars Christmas Special and burned it to three DVDs to give to each of my husband's good friends as tongue-in-cheek gifts.

Sad that she is considered a pioneer for women, her husband got her the job. Ok, maybe that means she married smart... But she is was touted as such for my generation.
I still don't care who Barbara Walters is.

William L. Shrirer was hired by Murrow and together they pioneered multi-natoinal news reporting (via radio). While Murrow reported from London, Shirer was in Berlin from aboot 1933-1938/9.
He wrote Berlin Diary and Rise and Fall of the Third Reich - books every American should read at some point (imno).

No, the original. I don't think any of them ever actually watched it, though. :(

If you don't know who Barbara Walters is you probably don't know who the Wild and Crazy Guys or the Coneheads are either. That could be a problem.

I disagree. Referencing back to TGIF, you would also have be oblivious of TGIF( Family Matters, Step by Step, Dinosaurs, etc) to not see a 4 second commercial on 20/20. I rarely watch any "Entertainment T.V"., but you would have to basically never watch it to not know what the View is.
On the other hand, it's very possible to know what Star Wars is and simply not be interested. Not everyone saw the Titanic, The Notebook, etc. but most people are familiar with them. Star Wars is unique enough for a person to say that s/he isn't interested in those types of films.

You could have watched TGIF and not remembered any of the commercials 10 years later. I know I certainly don't.

Alma, I'll only say this once because it could be construed as a compliment. You're not an example of the average US citizen. Yes, you may fall in the target demographic, but you're definitely not representative of it.
The premise regards knowing who Walters is, not who has heard of her before. As Ugly says, you could easily have seen commercials and not remembered them. Heck, I'll admit to watching TGIF and I couldn't remember the lineup of shows.
Anyway, without conducting a survey I guess we'll never know for certain.

And if you count the "name sounds familiar but I don't know where I know it from" people, I'm counting people who have seen at least 30 minutes (including commercials) of a Star Wars movie and stopped watching.

I wasn't differentiating "knowing" vs "having heard of", but I can see how that can be a difference. I don't remember the commercials or all of the line ups either, however, I do remember 20/20, because at the time, that was the "news" for me. I don't recall ever watching it though.
To be "fair", the guy in question NEVER watched T.V., at least voluntarily. He was "too busy being cool".

If that's what you meant by "having heard of", then I was not including that. By that standard, I watch NASCAR, golf and hockey.

Movies that are released before my birth, don't count. I'm sure that there are plenty "top movies" from the early filming days that people haven't seen.

Err, I know that. I thought it was the general consensus that no one really particularly cared about Alma's thoughts on films but rather kept him going because it's entertaining to see just how hard he tries to justify something so trivial as not seeing a particular movie. Similarly, with my previous post, I didn't really think he started at the beginning of film history and hadn't reached the 1970's yet.
You'd have been better served by pointing out the theatrical releases of the special edition of the original trilogy as well as the release dates of Episodes I-III. Of course, I doubt any Star Wars movies have ever been $5 in a bargain bin, but they are pretty frequently available to watch for free on any number of television channels.

No, that's your own misconception. Responding to a post doesn't make it a debate. You all want to believe that I think you're debating with me to support your fantasies of "trolling" me.
This is you all's attempt of trying to feel relevant. I challenge your beliefs in such a legitimate way that it's just easier to ridicule me than to actually address the issue. That way you don't have to accept being wrong. I just go along with it because it's a hobby for me. I know it's a mixture of legitimate responses and trolls. Unless your posts become annoyingly stupid with amateurish responses, then I will more than likely respond regardless of the intent.
I post in response to Almalique because it stimulates my brains.
And by that I mean the brains in my stomach, because I'm actually a zombie.

I don't recall the exact verbiage that I used. How convenient it's no longer in your signature. I'm pretty sure that I said "argue". If the exact word were "debate", it was in a general sense, not literally. It's the same way that I used the term "Coke" to represent all soft drinks. What that statement meant is that if you continue to respond to me, then I will stay engaged. I apologize if you were unable to pick up on that.
Ugly stop directly responding to it and it will stop responding back.
