[Say Nay]

HuffPo adds its two cents:

"...Face palm. The conversation continues as Mizrahi asks someone off-camera to "Google the Moon," while Killinger contemplates whether or not the Moon might actually be a star after all.

We won't lie to you; it only goes downhill from there, with Mizrahi standing firm on the Moon's planethood, "because things live on it." (Sorry, Neil Armstrong.)

Snark aside, thanks to QVC for this teachable moment. The Moon is not considered a star or a planet; it's Earth's only permanent, natural satellite. And on average, it's just under 240,000 -- not a bazillion -- miles from Earth."

Shawn and Isaac were joking about it today. Lol

Interesting how some people cannot handle the truth about Ms. M.

I also love the comment you posted on another thread, the article that said:

"Maybe the next segment will be selling science textbooks."

That's cool to hear, that they have a good sense of humor about it. I'll bet all the publicity will add a few new viewers to the Q, more new customers.

Everyone else is getting a good laugh out of it.

missed it the first time, so I stayed up and watched at 12:55 a.m. It was worth it, esp the model's reaction!!!

One website stated that if the Earth didn't exist, the moon is large enough to be considered a planet although there wouldn't be anyone around to give a darn.
