The Bob Barker Effect

HOW I GOT FOOLED (AGAIN)

An idea came to me, this morning. Woke up. Logged on. That’s when I saw “Bob Barker” trending on social media. Uh, oh. We know what “trending” usually means, especially with celebs approaching 100.

Paging Betty White. Has anyone seen or heard from Betty lately?

That’s when I realized there’s a natural curious process at work. Let’s call it a common reaction. And it’s the same for everyone, all the time. Heretofore, I’m calling this the “Bob Barker Effect.”
