Sara dislikes Sarah: ‘Sarah Palin’s Alaska’ is the ultimate horror
I have decided that reality TV is about as dumb as TV gets. I mean, why do people care so much that John and Kate are divorced?
And Mrs. “Nineteen Kids and Counting”? It’s called birth control. You’re helping to overpopulate our planet.
However, I believe the ultimate reality TV horror is “Sarah Palin’s Alaska.”
First off, I have never been a fan of Sarah Palin. Her limited knowledge of foreign politics and irritating overly conservative political views are just the tip of the annoying iceberg for me.
Added to how very much I disagree with her politics, I had to go through my senior year of high school hearing how super hot she was.
On top of all that she spells her name wrong. Is that extra “h” on the end really necessary?
Now, however, this woman who ended up drawing so much attention (and ridicule) during the 2008 election has practically forced herself back into the picture first with the Tea Party campaign, and now with the new television show “Sarah Palin’s Alaska.”
Palin’s new show follows her through her life in Alaska, from home life, to adventures in the wilderness.
At one point in one of the episodes, she’s fishing with her family when they see some bears.
Palin starts talking about how much she loves to see the mama bears who would do anything for her babies. Palin, however, doesn’t seem to be worried about her own kids while they are in such close proximity to those bears.
Another time, Palin explains how she likes being with her family or being in the wilderness so much better than being in a political office.
And yet she want’s to run for President? Is anyone else confused? Wait, it gets better.
“You have to respect the elements out here. Mother Nature always wins,” she said. Yes, this is a direct quote from her show.
But who can forget another direct quote from Palin: “Drill, baby, drill?”
I feel like Mother Nature might not appreciate that, after the Gulf Coast oil spill this past year.
Actually, I feel like Mother Nature might appreciate us finding alternate fuel sources.
The show gets even worse when a person just puts politics aside for a moment. You don’t even have to think about Palin’s political standpoint to get that annoying vibe from her.
Her voice has that crazy twang that nobody can exactly place. I, for one, believe I hear enough of her annoying voice on the news. Why suffer through another hour of her talking on camera?
In the end, it all comes down to this: there are still people who love her who will hang on her every word on this new reality TV show.
Personally? I can’t handle it.
I only watch the show so I can find new things to complain about and I think there are a lot of people who agree with me.
But hey, maybe if we keep watching, we’ll get lucky and get a glimpse of Russia!
Are you serious? All this sounds like your doing is shoving your opinion down our throat. I’m sure there are other things to be talking about than this. In my opinion this was a complete waste of text and space and time. And who are you to say anything about her name? Get a clue, I’ve seen way more people spell their name with an h on the end than without. You sound like some kind of elitist. I think you really need to think about what you write about and how you present yourself before doing it. This is at least the second article I’ve read this month and have been blown away at your mindless comments. Yes you can have your opinions, thats fine, but stop always trying to make your opinions seem like they are always the correct and only opinion. I’m done now. I hope you will find more relevant things to talk about in the future.
Dustin, although it’s obvious what Sara’s opinion is on reality TV and, in particular, Mrs. Todd Palin, her article is in the vein political satire, a very American tradition. As a CSC alum and former Eagle editor, I think that it’s absolutely necessary for colleges to nurture this tradition. Free-thinking should be applauded rather than taken to task. You obviously disagree and have exercised your free speech by stating your opinion. And I applaud that. But that doesn’t mean that Ms Labor’s point of view is any less valid or relevant than yours. In fact, I got a good laugh! We should all lighten up a bit. Life is so much more fun when not taking offense!
