Man makes bomb threat after being rejected by "Price is Right"

Police evacuated part of a high-rise in San Francisco after a man angry that he had been turned down to appear on the "Price is Right" walked into a law office wearing a blinking device that he described as a bomb. (SFGate.com)

Hmm, so much to say, so little time.

I would never have done this to get on the current Price is Right. The old one, with Bob, absolutely. Gotta love Bob. Drew, not so much.

Speaking of Drew, Clevland rocks, or at least the Browns do. Boyfriend and I had a bet on last night's game, and I won. Yeah me!

oh, C'MON! If this is not the logical next step to a "Price Is Right" rejection, than tell me what is. I almost want to move to San Fran to try and get on this guys' jury to help him out, b/c to be sure the naysayers and finger chuckers will be coming out oif the woodwork throwing around terms such as "dangerous" and "complete and total giant freaking loonball" over this guys entirely reasonable reaction.

I love Drew but I still don't think I'd don a bomb because I didn't get on. Why do people think blowing *themselves* up is the answer? Sheesh, people, plant it and run if you must.

Reno: Do we want to know the terms of the bet? :-)

[twerp]

It's the babes on the show. We all know what BNGR would say.

SPAY AND NEUTER YOUR PETS OR EVERYONE GETS IT! I'M NOT KIDDING! GET BARKER OUT HERE NOW!!! WHAT DO YOU MEAN BARKER'S NOT HERE?!! NNNOOOOOOO..........

[Reno]

Loosey - the terms of the bet were simply who would be placed above the other in an intimate encounter. I haven't decided which I want yet... I have 'till tonight. =)

[Mook]

Ah, now they'll let him on the show for sure after this! (If he used some more white plastic, he could have made a Star Wars stormtrooper suit.)

But, can you guess how much his "bomb" cost, to the nearest dollar, without going over??

[elchampino]

I'm trying to think of a lamer reason to lose your Skittles.

Nope, nothin's comin' to me.

Its all part of the Showcase Showdown!

You'll fly coach one way aboard Blast Off Airlines to Kingdom Come for Eternal days and eternal nights, where you won't enjoy shopping and dining, but you'll have an excellent view of the universe.

All this, and more, could be yours, if the price is right.

If he had been on the show and not won, what would he have done? Look out, Drew!

ATTENTION WHORE ALERT!!!!!!

[LooseyGoosey]

Is it me? Is it me? Please? Can I be the Attention Whore? Pleasepleaseplease? Oh. *sigh* You mean the guy with the Bomb.

Maybe next time.

[Soo]

Call me a cynic, but I think that anyone who wants to blow themselves up should just go ahead and do it. Can we build a stadium for this, and make it into a show?

Damn, I've made bombs over less. Class of 91ish U of Kuwait..Class Motto: Keep Rollin Baby

[zombie00x]

Have you seen some of the contestants that do get on the show? How useless and crazy do you have to be to get rejected?? ...oh yeah, useless and crazy enough to fake blowing yourself up if they say no.
