Bulletball Gets Last Laugh On American Inventor
December 18, 2007 01:01:06 by Joe Reality
Almost two years ago, Reality TV Magazine ran an article questioning some of the decisions made by the judges on a new reality show called American Inventor. One of the decisions questioned was how the judges told inventor Marc Griffin to give up on his Bulletball game. Judge Mary Lou Quinlan told Griffin, “You’ve told us that you’ve given twenty-six years of your life to this game. I think that’s more of a life than a man can give to a dream. Please get your life back.”
