Sarah Palin is now pimping some extreme snowmachine film that looks like it was made by teenagers hopped up on a combination of Red Bull and Meth.

WINTER PROJECT - TRAILER 1 from HYBRID COLOR FILMS on Vimeo.

This is how Snowdrift Snooki describes this adrenalin junkie porn:

Check out the trailer for this great new documentary about one of the extreme sports that guys – and gals – enjoy in the Last Frontier where we know how to live life vibrantly outdoors, literally in our backyard. Bristol’s boyfriend Joey stars in this, and Willow has a cameo.

I have to say that there is a real chasm in Alaska between other outdoor sports enthusiasts and snowmachiners. 

Cross country skiers in particular have had a lot of conflicts with people ruining the trails with their machines, and dog sledding aficionados have had similar frustrations.

In effect everybody up here recognizes the value of snowmachines for getting around the state, and they are certainly fun to ride, however there is a disconnect for a lot of Alaskans between those who use them for transportation, and those who use them to show off for their friends.

I am not at all surprised that Palin would be supporting a "sport" that is attractive to younger people who get a thrill out of risk taking, and who often rely on their parents to cover their medical costs and sled repair bills.

By the way I watched this thing a couple of times and I had no problem recognizing Junker, but I did not see Willow anywhere.

I also took a look at the Facebook comments under this post and many of Palin's fans are trying to be supportive but a little confused as to why she is wasting her time promoting something like this.

Here was my favorite:  

Sarah Palin, for President 2016 . Run for president in 2016 , we ask you every day to run for president. Please hear us. Run for president in 2016 or the media and the corrupt establishment wins. You have my vote. Please Sarah Palin. We love and support so much. God bless you and your family.

Yeah, not gonna happen.

Kidnapped for Christ.

This from the filmmaker's website: 

Kidnapped for Christ follows the stories of several American teenagers who were sent to Escuela Caribe, an American-run Evangelical Christian reform school in The Dominican Republic. Students are sent to Esceula Caribe by their parents, for offenses ranging from drug use to running away to suicide attempts, or for simply not getting along with their parents. The film centers on David, a straight-A student who was sent to Escuela Caribe after coming out to his parents as gay. David was taken in the night without warning by a "transport service" and was never told where he was going or when he would return home. Once David's community found out what had happened to him, they formed a plan to bring him home on his 18th birthday. The struggles they faced to get David released revealed just how far Escuela Caribe would go to prevent a student from leaving.

As the parent of a very headstrong young woman, I have to say that there have been times that I have been  pretty frustrated with her, but the idea of having her tied and spirited away to a third world country for "discipline" is something that I simply could NEVER have imagined considering.

And neither should anybody else. ESPECIALLY for being gay.

There are some people who simply should not be parents. And anybody who would use such tactics on their own children are certainly numbered among them.
