So, The Discovery Channel bought Palin's bullshit and she has a 1million
an eppy show.

Yes, she gets paid 1million an eppy.

In my disgust I want to boycott Discovery but that includes TLC (which I don't watch anyway)
Animal Planet, Science Channel and Investigation Discovery.

I guess I'm gonna have to suck it up and not watch any of it.

BUT, I guess the good news is that Sarah Palin is totally out of running for President then at least for 2012, so that may be a positive.

I don't know what to think...help me.

1. Ew. I like the Science Channel, too.
Hopefully the ratings will tank.

5. She's ignorant un-curious trash, though. To keep the ratings up she's going to have to do even...
...DUMBER things which will bury her political aspirations even deeper.

In that light, I don't care if she and hubby have a whole fleet of golden snowmobiles. She'll never get as far as she did in politics again. Ever.

6. The Solution is Pretty Simple
Turn off your television, for Chrissakes. There's a reason they call it the "idiot box", you know.

9. What are you doing on DU since you're so superior? A person with an awesomeness
Edited on Tue Mar-23-10 12:40 PM by xultar
factor as high as yours shouldn't be trapped by DU all day. The internet is surely beneath you your highness. I'm sure the world is beating down your door for only a tender morsel of your greatness to shine upon us.

I will not let my little ignorant brain stand in your way any longer. Please bestow the ignore button upon me lest your eyes be dulled by my insignificance.

7. She deserves it
She is a lunatic but america has shown time and again they love to watch lunatics on parade. This show will make a lot of cash for discovery and Sarah deserves her share.

She is done in politics I don't begrudge her getting paid for being made to look like an idiot time and again.

Episode Two...a look at Bible Spice reading the daily newspapers
Episode Two...A tour of wolf habitat with her best friend Remmington

Episode Three...oops, she quits the show and appears on Dancing with the Stars...

10. Actually she might be best at "Dancing with the Star"
At least if they do a 'tap dance' routine.

13. I hope they show what a cesspool she turned the lakes around Wasilla into
All the over-devolopment of the area she didn't bother do figure out what to do with all the sewage. They say anything you catch out of Lake Wasilla is pretty much toxic.

14. I download the Mythbusters anyway so The Discovery Channel can eat it.

Not a wise business decision on TDC's part.

16. I'll be tuning out
The only way I can make sense of this is that maybe some viewers will "discover" what a blithering idiot Sarah Palin truly is.

20. I don't see the big deal...
Washington Post says the show is just a travel Alaska show. Big deal.
