I sat and watched the entire episode of Sarah Palin's Alaska tonight

[DainBramaged]

I don't know how they call this entertainment. It was so trivial and superficial I don't understand how in the world Discovery thought putting her on the TeeVee would be interesting. All I can say is they went fishing a lot because the son is supposed to take over his father's business. The kids take a flight literally down the road less than 20 miles to visit relatives with a Downs Syndrome child. And daughter Willow has a birthday.

And then I thought of another angle, where some very wealthy Reich-wing corporatist who wants another Booshe in office PAID them to put this piece of shit on the air to appeal to the 'base'. And any other not too bright independent out there to try and soften her image while planing another theft of an election in 2012.


Tinfoilhat theory, maybe, but there is NO other explanation for the existence of this show.



:tinfoilhat: :tinfoilhat: :tinfoilhat: :tinfoilhat: :tinfoilhat:

(it's fun watching the unrecing crew try and keep the recs down on this thread)

2. Every event on that show is a potential soundbyte for a campaign ad.

Campaign ads tearing her apart. Things to be brought up during a debate. I say that we let her keep digging that hole.

[DainBramaged]

3. I agree with you, but the show is pointless

The conflict between the Tuttles, amazing because they PRODUCE something the public actually wants. Deadliest Catch, amazing show of a lifestyle I could never imagine. Mythbusters, enough said.

Sarah Palin, yuk.

[flvegan]

6. Oh, I hear you.

And I agree, even with your examples (Deadliest Catch and Mythbusters...love them both). I can't comprehend a reason behind watching that shit (thanks for taking that bullet for the rest of us, LOL!) but I try to look at any possible positive.

[Blue_In_AK]

22. Exactly.

Alaskan reality shows have been really GOOD up until now, and here comes Sarah to spoil it all for us -- again. Deadliest Catch, Ice Road Truckers, Tougher in Alaska, all those wonderful National Geographic specials -- and then SARAH and her grifter family??? It boggles the mind.

[spanone]

4. they are priming the pump, the books, the teevee show, the appearances.

she's running

[DainBramaged]

5. There is major money behind her. It is Shrub all over again.

God help us all.

[madmax]

19. Yes Sir,

This time it's Bushette, or Shrubette. I don't discount her they'll steal another election and the USSC will stop the counting of votes. It's precedent although, they said - only this time. (2000) :mad:

[merh]

25. There is major money against her and that will do

what they have to to keep her off the ticket. Dubya could be controlled and taught - Palin is a nut out for money - she just wants someone to pay her well to support them in 2012. She will back the highest bidder.

Oh, and don't you forget about Murkowski, she will do what she can to be sure that Palin never makes it on to another ballot.

Palin destroyed her father and tried to ruin her political career, there is no love loss there.

[BuelahWitch]

31. No, because Rove detests Palin

Rove, and the fact that he was a Bush, got Shrub into office. Palin doesn't have either of these factors behind her. If she even gets close to the Bush/Rove anointed candidate, Rove will destroy her.

[ShamelessHussy]

7. that takes guts, and may lead to brainDamage ;)

i don't have cable so i haven't seen any of it, but i don't think i could have made it all the way through.

i definitely think she has her eye on the prize... as she needs all the drama she can get, apparently, to keep the cash flow'n in :puke:

whats really scary is the thought that she may actually be POTUS :scared:

[Bigmack]

8. You said "trivial and superficial"...

US TeeVee viewers eat that shit up!

She's aiming at one pretty large demographic.

[DainBramaged]

9. Dancing with the Stars comes to mind, and her daughter almost won that piece of shit

The show where the people are 'stranded' is another that comes to mind.

Yup, big demographic. If ALL they get are the 3,000,000 FAUX zombies who watch FAUX 24/7 then the show will be considered successful. And then syndication and look out world.

[pscot]

11. No one has ever lost money

by underestimating American voter.

[knowbody0]

10. if you were around for ray-gun days,

the Palin person would not suprise you. empty vessels for the puppet masters make the best candidate. seriously, an actor known for his bits with monkeys was our president, dumber than mud.

[DainBramaged]

12. I was there, and I worked to get President Carter re-elected. (It's my fault)

And remember how the Pukes made Raygun out to be the second coming of Superman.

[Egnever]

23. Sorry but raygun was a decent actor

Sarah doesnt come close.

[crim son]

13. It's mind-boggling that having a t.v. show like this is considered

desirable exposure for a presidential wannabe. Next we'll be seeing Rick Santorum making a guest appearances on Two and a Half Men as a prelude to the announcement that he's going to run in 2012.

[DainBramaged]

14. The Republicans won (for the most part) by demonizing Harry Reed and Nancy Pelosi

and playing on the fears of a bigoted public.


It's a new dawn. These are the people who are trying to disassemble public schools, kill net neutrality, grope you at the airport, and put a dingbat on TeeVee as a prelude to a Presidential campaign.


It can happen, be very afraid.

[Ozymanithrax]

15. Watching my dog take a crap would be more entertaining.

This is Palin's version of Death Valley Days, so she can say she is just like Reagan.

[struggle4progress]

16. You need to re-evaluate how you decide to spend your time: if you're not careful,

you'll start thinking it's a good idea to sit in the corner and pound your head with a hammer

[DainBramaged]

17. I do that everyday at work LOLOL

[Demstud]

18. Most of America agrees with you, I think.

It's set a record for TLC ratings in its first episode(probably due to plain old curiosity), but dropped a full 40% the next week to around something like 3 million viewers. Also read that less than 1 mil were in that key 18-49 yo demographic (average age of viewer was something like 57?).

[RamboLiberal]

20. The Walking Dead on AMC does better

It's averaging 5 million a week which is 2 million better than Mad Men.

So zombies outdraw Sister Sarah and her grifter family.

[Raschel]

33. That's interesting, since most of her viewers would be her' fans' & teapbag buddies.

I'm guessing they only find her interesting when she's attacking someone or making hateful, divisive comments.

I don't think the show has enough red meat for the teabaggers.

[Raschel]

21. I clicked on it back and forth last week. Tonite I watched about half of it. She looks really bad.

All she does is yap yap yap through every event. Nobody else in her family, just her.

Tawd and the oldest son look to have a terrible relationship.

And the part where she had Bristol club the fish to death - it's supposed to make everyone see how tough and real they are.

As her daughter was clubbing the fish Sarah commented "I wonder what she's thinking about when she's doing that. It's a good way to get out aggression". That's bizarre.

A normal person would comment, "this isn't pretty, but this is how it's done, this is how we get our food."

I don't think this show is helping her.

[MadMaddie]

24. That is a weired question

It's her daughter and it's obvious she doesn't talk to her.

[Raschel]

34. I think she was suggesting that Bristol was imagining the fish was Levi.

Makes sense since she's always focused on revenge.

[DainBramaged]

29. I got up and went in the kitchen for some of that, too much stoopid

[JDPriestly]

26. You deserve a medal for bravery in the face of murderous boredom.

[dkf]

27. You ever watch Jersey Shore?

Same audience.

[DainBramaged]

28. Not one second of it.

I thought the South Park parody was funny as hell.

[snooper2]

30. unrec since you made a comment about stupid rec/unrec feature

:)

[hobbit709]

32. Are you a masochist?
