Shawn & Isaac

I am sorry I missed this "debate" between these two, but they made headlines:

Humiliating moment QVC shopping channel hosts tackled science... and ended up arguing over whether the moon 'is a star or a planet'

Why in the article does it keep referring to Mrs. Tracy?

The picture of the model covering her eyes says all that needs to be said...

I had the show on and peripherally heard the discussion, but wasn't really paying attention. Too bad the item identifies the host as 'Ms' Treacy'... Poor Jane, she had nothing to do with it... Either way, it was funny, but not, to me anyway, 'humiliating'...

As a school teacher, there was nothing funny about this exchange between Isaac and Shawn. It was, rather, appalling.

And yes, the writer of the article misidentified Shawn as Jane.

The Daily Mail should get the facts straight before putting something out there.

I find this funny but really, really sad.

Did anyone read the comments after the article?

I got in this very discussion with my 7 year Granddaughter the other day. The moon is actually the earths only natural satellite. Who knew? I sure didn't.

LOL, they'll never live this down. Maybe they'll stick to the script from now on. The Daily Mail called it a "garish outfit," Shawn used another invented word - bazillion, and poor Jane Tracy is misidentified as the protagonist. Just perfect!

Hey, I fully admit, I don't remember 6th grade astronomy and never took it in college... I think I recall the sun is a star and the moon is a satellite, but it's hardly earth shattering. Clearly, neither of them is a planet, though. Personally, I find the exchange sort of humorous and that's just how they typically are with each other.

Not much of a news source if they can't even get the correct name of the host. Talk about sad.

It's all in fun anyway .... nothing more.

They should be embarrassed. Maybe their elementary schools didn't offer science.

Note to self: Don't open your mouth unless you are positive of the answer. You never know who may be watching !! Poor Jane T.

......and this is the type of information we really need from our hosts when shopping for clothes on QVC!

Re: Shawn & Isaac

Hoovermom — Thu, 15 Jan 2015 20:29:23 GMT

I am sure they are not thrilled but someone was watching and posted.

To me, it's just another sad commentary on the inadequacy of our school system. I'm always shocked at what people don't know that I take for granted.

I don't know what they are teaching in school anymore, but we had to learn all about the solar system in basic 5th grade science class and after almost 50 years, I still remember it. For the record, I don't use that knowledge on a daily basis either, LOL.

However, since it is Shawn (and to a degree, Isaac), I'm not surprised. She demonstrates fairly regularly that she lacks a lot of fundamentals. I don't know how she made it through college with her lack of vocabulary. Maybe that is why she always makes up words; she doesn't have enough of a fundamental vocabulary to call upon.

Anyway, that is embarrassing for Shawn, except she dodged a bullet and Jane Treacy is being fingered as the ignoramus. I'm sure that JRT appreciates that!

I'd just like to add that the model's reaction is priceless. I'd cover my eyes too.

Our FOX morning news here in Seattle (Q13) showed this clip at least twice. Definitely not complimentary to Shawn and Isaac!

Its a shame that Jane T got blamed when it was Shawn doing her usual shtick. I hope that her dumb act is just that, but based on that exchange, it is hard to be sure.

It wasn't their fault. To pile on the stupid here, the video was posted to YouTube by QVC, who identified Shawn as Jane Treacy on the QVC official YouTube page. See for yourself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBXOUCP518g

So, QVC is the ignoramus... Big shock... Oh, those many 'platforms' and the benefits of going 'social'...
