Comedy Sportz is an improv comedy group with several locations across the United States. It is not about sports, but rather is comedy as a sport. Two teams -- wearing red and blue baseball uniforms -- challenge each other to improv contests where they invent songs and skits using things mentioned by the audience (this is somewhat like the TV show "Whose Line Is It Anyway?"). Whichever team gets more cheers from the audience will receive more points ...Anyway, what I am trying to do here is write a post that merges one of the Comedy Sportz skits, "Boo-Yay," with "Cash for Clunkers." In "Boo-Yay," a hypothetical character in the skit goes through both positive and negative experiences, thus eliciting a "boo" or "yay/yeah" from the crowd.
Here goes....
The government made it easier to get a new car ... YAAAAY!
But only certain people will qualify ... BOOOO!
You can save $4,500 on a brand-new car ... YAAAAY!
You can save $4,500 on a brand-new car ... YAAAAY!
But to get this discount, you have to buy a car that gets 10 MPG more than your current auto ... BOOOO!But you can still get the $3,500 discount ... YAAAAY!
However, this would still require trading in a car that gets 18 MGP or worse (combined highway/city), and buying a car that is at least 4 MPG more efficient than the "clunker." ... BOOOO!
But this will get some environmentally unfriendly cars off the road ... YAAAAY!
Actually, environmentalists debate how much difference this will actually make ... BOOOO!
Look: the economy -- and the auto industry -- needs a helping hand. This may just be the proverbial "shot in the arm" to get businesses going again ... YAAAAY!
But the money for this has to come from somewhere. Hello, tax $$$ ... BOOOO!
But imagine trading in a clunker for a BRAND-NEW CAR ... YAAAAY!
But imagine, most people driving the clunkers still can't afford a new car, even with the discount ... BOOOO!
