It looks like despite the fact that it is one of the stupidest ideas ever, Sarah "There's plenty of room for Alaska's animals, right next to the mashed potatoes" Palin will in fact have a "reality show" on the Discovery Channel where Sarah will stand in front of fake backdrops, while a wind machine ruffles her wig ever so natural like, and she describes the wildlife that she is seeing for the first time in her life.
"Well that right there...wait let me check my palm...is a snowshoe hare. Wow he is a cute little fella! I usually only see their hind ends as they frantically run away as I am firing wildly in all directions trying to murder them. Gosh it is so adorable we should skin it later and make mittens for Piper!"
Later Palin can tell the audience sitting at home expecting to learn something sciency from a channel called, ironically enough, "Discovery" how Global Warming is a fake controversy made up by the "libruls" in the "Democrat" party and how in actuality the polar bears really enjoy having less sea ice to contend with because it helps to keep them so slim and trim because of all that extra aerobic swimming they have to do just to survive.
"They are also eating fewer meals as well, and we know how that helps to fight off those extra inches, don't we ladies?"
Perhaps Sarah will also escort the Cheechakos from Discovery up to Prudhoe Bay and take a look at the pipeline.
Palin can then wax poetic about how pristine the area used to be before all of the heavy equipment, raping of the land, and accidental oil spills made it just that much gosh darn better! She will then get the chance to say her favorite phrase, "Drill, baby, drill" which is also a guaranteed boner maker for all of the teenage boys, and middle aged male teabaggers, watching the show in the hopes that Palin will participate in a wet oil t-shirt contest. (By the way, if the price was right, you just KNOW Sarah would be up for it!)
Perhaps for the last show of the season, which knowing Palin will probably be about halfway through the agreed upon episodes, Sarah can take the crew to the "Palin Compound" and let them throw fish into Lake Lucille and watch them die.
"Oh look that one is trying to get out of the water. If evolution was not all a big lie he could probably sprout legs and walk to a cleaner lake. Ha, ha, that is funny! Stupid scientists!"
Maybe while they are there they can perform a DNA test on all of the Palin offspring, and try to figure out just WHO is a member of WHOSE family. Now THAT is an episode I would make sure to TIVO!
I think I will see if I cannot talk somebody into filming a REAL reality show about Alaska called "Sarah Palin has no fucking idea what she is talking about!". It can run right after her show and simply correct all of the stupid things she says, like "Oh look! That is herd of gooses!" Or "Right over there you can see a pair of meese, grazing by the road. Good thing I don't have my rifle, and somebody to show me how to use it!"
I hope it is worth it to the folks at Discovery to get this brief lift in their ratings, because after this they may as well change their name from "Discovery channel" to "Discredited Channel".
I'm still hoping for a cross promotion with Myth Busters as they do an episode on her book.
ReplyDeleteLots to Bust there.
There are lots of shows that Discovery and its sister channels put out where Sarah could do her cross promotion (as suggested by Project Savior).
ReplyDeleteWe'll have to hold a contest to pick the winning tat (tattoo) for Sarah to get at LA Ink. I'm waiting for someone to photoshop Sarah's face in the cross hairs.
There is a show about weddings; it's time for Bristol to get married, or for Sarah & Todd to renew their vows. Maybe both, a double wedding.
Sarah can hang around the chopper (motorcycle) shop, remarking how they are just like snow machines but for land. Then, she can roar off into the sunset on the bridge to nowhere.
The fishermen on Deadliest Catch can take Sarah fishing. She can ride with the Ice Road Truckers. And I am sure that Casa Palin could use a make over by now. In fact, if that Survivor Guy can last in the jungle for one week, I suggest they drop Sarah off in some remote spot in Alaska with her video camera and a knife. Now, that would be a show.
Dollars to doughnuts Sarah Palin didn't shoot that caribou, and Todd did. Just like the incident she turned her ex brother-in-law for, for shooting the moose that Sarah's sister had drawn the tag for. I've seen the video's of Sarah holding the assault rifle in Iraq, and she doesn't have a clue how to hold a rifle to shoot it. Thank God! But she does have her little minions to do that for her.

Still no confirmation and still time for the Discovery programming executives to read your blog.
ReplyDelete"A spokesman for Palin referred questions to Burnett's office, which did not return requests for comment. Neither did a Discovery spokesperson. "
I read (either yesterday or the day before) that an announcement about the 'dill' would be made in New York on April 8. A lot can happen in the meantime. If they do go through with it, I will be too disgusted to either watch it or have any interest in it at all.
FWIW, Palin's astrology chart for this time period is confusing, showing the possibility of something momentous but also something that could cause a big upset. If Discovery does sign her, perhaps there'll be more coming on babygate/eargate in early April!
So, we get everyone we know to watch the first episode...
ReplyDeleteGets a HUGE Neilson rating for the premier and then.....
we stop.

I did write to Discovery regarding Palin. This is the canned response:

It's pretty obvious that Granny Pee cares nothing for nature except what she can cook in her pot, hang on her wall, kill for her own entertainment (while masquerading as "sport"), or sell to the highest bidder.

Andrew Sullivan takes up the topic -- links to mudflats' imagined narration and then adds his thought:
ReplyDelete"All I care about is that she doesn't get to run for president again, and that Levi gets to tell his tale without real intimidation."
(big sigh!)
I had hoped Sullivan would take up eargate but it sounds like he's done until Levi speaks...which seems less and less likely.
(triple sigh!)

As someone who advocates violence against her political foes (who are also her fellow citizens), Sarah Palin is turning into a domestic terrorist and is a wholly inappropriate choice to be the star of a Discovery show. What's next -- "Rush Limbaugh's New York/Florida/Costa Rica"? How about "The Unabomber's Guide to Survival and Living Off the Grid"? If it's the Reality TV viewers they want, why not have a show called "Heene Family Values"? Am I being ridiculous? Maybe so, but not as ridiculous as Discovery is being for paying Sarah Palin over $1 million PER EPISODE. C'mon -- REALLY???
ReplyDeletewhat's going to happen when the millions of years old mountains meets sarah the six-thousand year old earth believer??
