I'd like to take a moment to recommend "Instant Bueller" as a potential username for someone looking to join or create a new sockpuppet.

Be forewarned: every time you press this button, Ben Stein gets a nickel in royalties.

Yeah, but it's really all just a figment of Cameron's imagination.

The button should probably say "Evolution is bunk!" or "Get a free credit report!" or "I never disavowed my association with Richard Nixon!" instead. Not as pithy I guess.

Actually, were that true, that would bankrupt the site in short order since there's no way they're earning even a penny from each click. Stein might make out in the short term, but it's unsustainable.
(To think I kind of liked Ben Stein on the strength of his personable appearances on Win Ben Stein's Money. That was a long time ago now.)

Would be better if randomly shuffled "Anybody?" and "Bueller?"

Been there. Done that.
Although I was surprised the Instants Fun page didn't have a Bueller button yet, or an Ed McMahon HIYOOOO. Otherwise, I'd have called Double

If Ben Stein weren't such an annoying fucktard, I might actually like this more. As it is, I now detest the sound of that man's voice.

I'm glad that there was once a time when I was ignorant of Ben Stein's existence.

...and donates it to the Republican presidential candidate *AND* to Ralph Nader, just in case he can help split the liberal vote that much more.

Ben Stein thinks it's economically prudent, btw, to use those bait-and-switch credit report sites.
(Well, economically prudent for *him*, in any case.)

He donated to Franken? I wonder if that turned out the way he wanted.

What? What is a sarcasm meter? Why do you pester me with this nonsensical statement?
Hey, I was tired.

What would that show consist of today? Win Ben Stein's money and then get berated and belittled for being a general burden on society and the ultra-rich? Ben Stein hilariously kicks your ass after you win, off-camera, of course.

I despise Ben Stein so much I won't even click the goddamned link. Sorry. Ben Stein is like everything wrong about America in the last twenty-odd years, only diluted to homeopathic levels.
