Howie Knows Heroes

hero (noun): a man of distinguished courage or ability, admired for his brave deeds and noble qualities.

As I waited for The Bachelor finale earlier this week, I caught the last ten minutes of Deal or No Deal. I find this show extremely boring and annoying. Host Howie Mandel referred to the contestant as a 'hero' multiple times. Unfavorably against the odds, he turned down $300,000-some dollars in pursuit of the $1 million. He went home with $25,000. Mandel said: "You're the embodiment of a 'hero.'"

Supposedly, as a reward for his heroic efforts, he also went home with a brand new Jeep!

Greediness (or stupidity) = heroism.
