How's YOUR New Scoring System?
I saw this at the Olympics, and now the American Cup for gymnastics is on TV: The "new scoring system." Apparently EVERY competitive sport no longer judges people the same way as before. So now, under the new scoring system, this is harder, that is easier, and blah blah blah.

So let's see how we can apply a new scoring system to other things:



• McDonald's has a new scoring system, so a quarter pounder costs more than it used to.
  
• Apple has a new scoring system in their machines, giving up PowerPC chips for Intel.
  
• This weekend I'm implementing a new scoring system for my living quarters, moving back in with my parents.
  
• After developing a new scoring system for their relationship, Dick and Jane decided they should break up.
  
• Under Iraq's new scoring system, troops may be able to begin pulling out by this summer.
  
• While driving through the new scoring system of the construction zone, Allen forgot to slow down and got a speeding ticket.
  
• Due to this blog's new scoring system, this entry is no longer funny enough to win.

	That explains a lot. Because of the new scoring system, things like reporting on who Angelina Jolie or Tom Cruise is dating is considered good journalism and is therefore now an indispensible part of the news. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Another fine example. michaelsterling 2006-03-05 11:50 (link)
