Brigitte has a new video, don't know why it's not on here yet.

sooooo
i tried sending this to you on myspace, evidently it did not work
"oh hello there
i was recently on abc and i saw brigitte dale and was like hm whats that
so i clicked on it and your videos are amazing and kept me entertained for hours
which is acually a real compliment considering i am not really a big fan of online videos
i really dont know how people can spend ours on youtube
but anyways i just thought you should know that because i mean, if i made videos i would want whoever watching them to tell me their oppinion
who doesnt like compliments, really
i guess i seem kind of weird because im messaging you on myspace? but well, its summer and i have alot of time on my hands and i didnt feel like making an abc account to post a comment on your acual video which i suppose doesnt make much sense since i have time on my hands
i just dont like making profiles for things
and i guess i could have emailed you, but on the rare occasion i send an email i always forget i send it and then in result i never read the reply
i know its sad
this message is all dumb and pointless but like i said, i have alot of time on my hands
so basically, your videos are awesome and me and my bestfriend decided your one about the abandonded white shirt was our favorite
oh and my bestfriend would like me to tell you that you should add in somewhere how boys should not be clingy
really no joke, every one of them is
and its not like shes looking at weirdos or anything and thats why
they just all are
well i hope this didnt suck up too much of your time
have a nice day(:
Ps id also like to add that your dog is adorable "
after all that typing i figured i should find a way to get it to you
hahah
So, what is up with ABC and the lack of Brigitte Dale updates? We are not a happy camper, ABC.

Hi Brigitte, I saw you tune your guitar in one of your videos which you played a little bit. Now you have us wanting to hear more. What would the chances for you playing a whole song for your views on one of your next videos? Think about it would you?
All we got were Gasoline scratch and sniff stickers. That explains a lot.
I can't have a link to my own website in my signature? Come on, ABC!
Gasoline scratch and sniff stickers? Leukemia City, USA!! The benzene additive will do it every time!
Hope you don't mind, but I'm gonna run with that "burger slot machine" idea. Sounds like a can't-lose proposition to me.
The difference between bribery and reward is mostly one of timing. Bribery occurs beforehand, just a promise to reward certain behavior. Reward is getting the goodies after the behavior has occured. The word bribery has negative connotations, whereas reward for the most part does not. They basically mean the same thing though..
In 4th grade, there was the Book It program with Pizza Hut. I got a lot of small personal pan pizza's. I'm not sure if all that reading helped me or not though.
As for this $$ for grades, it sounds good, but are kids actually learning anything? Our system is pretty broken and I feel as if it's pure regurgitation or teaching to standardized tests. I'm not sure it's good to instill a "do it only for money" mentality either. Of course, a lot of that also depends on parenting, which I also think needs tons of work. Walking through a middle school is depressing these days.
I remember Book It... I'm probably responsible for putting our local Pizza Hut out of business with all the Personal Pans I got for nothing.
I think it might be a good idea to do the cash rewards in big cities... Maybe it will be good motivation for inner city kids that don't have a lot. And cities like NY and DC can afford to fund something like that. But you can be sure that it's something that will never happen in our school district. They can't even afford to fix holes in the wall, or put doors on the bathroom stalls, or hire a decent janitor, let alone pay the kids for making the honor roll. I'm sooooo glad that I'm out of school. *shivers*
If you only got a B would they give you fries? C you get a drink. D only gets you those small ketchup packets.

Back, when *I* was a kid... back when grass meant lawns, back when crack was something you did with a bullwhip instead of a pipe, back when people said the word "heroine", you thought of Wonder Woman or Sheena, Queen of the Jungle, rather than powder, back when the Dead Sea was only Very Sick... getting straight A's got you a big colored foil sticker star on your report card. Big Whoop! I'll take the hamburger, grease and all.
Of course, after filling Brigitte's refrigerator with half the burgers in Nebraska, it's no wonder they decided to halt the program.
I would have been proud too! unfortunately, our school only gave us certificates for the honor roll. i would have preferred the hamburgers... The only thing that [filtered word] is when you realize that your grades don't matter until high school!!!! i live near Washington D.C and they are doing that. it made me want to move to their school district but their schools are too violent.

Well, that place would have been known as Burger Queen in my family, from that day forward. "Maw, can we go to Burger Queen this weekend?" "Sure, honey, as soon as you finish your homework and the remaining 19 burgers from your report card winnings." It's cool how little victories from childhood can stay with you for the rest of your life.

Did you all eat all of those burgers, or did some of them go to waste?
You should have been proud Brigitte! Your bags of greasy hamburgers was your badge of honor and everyone that got one of your scholastic hamburgers should have looked up to you for not only your provision of hamburgers but you having the knowledge and ability to produce the grades that most kids didn't get
Our local McDonald's had a special for twenty five cent hamburgers, I went in and bought $50 dollars worth. then went down to the local shelter and passed out hamburgers with the nuns. It was pretty cool and I was invited to do it every year. When the special was getting close I would get a phone call. "This is sister Mary Katherine, I want you to know your contribution of hamburgers was much appreciated and I was hoping you and your lovely daughter were planning to do it again this year. I understand the hamburger special starts this Friday."
Three years ago they quit doing the quarter hamburgers but I kind of miss the whole experience. My daughter is much older now and still every time we see a guy on the side of the road begging she says, "Hey Daddy, we should get him a hamburger." And in fact a few times we have.
