Best Freeper reaction to $99 Sarah Palin Channel...

[jberryhill]

"The WWE network is 9.99 a month"

Let it not be said that gentleman is not a fine steward of his entertainment budget.

1. Does she accept SNAP or WIC?

[napi21]

2. I subscribe to Norm Goldman's podcasts for $5/mo. but I agreed to pay the $10/mo next year. However

I wouldn't listen to that dimwit if it was FREE!

[KinMd]

3. Think of the SNL skits ...they almost write themselves

[calguy]

4. Will she refund half of the $99

When she quits half way thru the term?

9. Somewhere, freepers are trying to figure out which is cheaper for a year.

Let's see $9.95 for 12 months, or $99.95 per year? Ummm....

[jberryhill]

10. But some months are longer than others...

...and then there is leap year... ummm....

8. Bwahahaha!

11. What ever idiots are funding this will loose money.

She's a grifter, so she'll make her $ before it crumbles.

12. The people behind it are using her as a demo, a poorly chosen demo, but it the project itself

is a platform allowing anyone with a fan base or following to establish such a 'channel' with ease. She was their choice for their roll out, and she is bringing lots of publicity to the service, but it is the worst kind. They would have served themselves better with a midlevel pop star being their roll out example.
The idea is that some soap stars or writers or musicians will pay this company to make 'channels' for them, which their fans would subscribe to. So what they are backing is the platform, she's a commercial for that platform. They did not make it for her, nor because of her, they are trying to use her to attract a customer base that is largely repelled by her. Their target customers will assume they selected her because they like her, and they will not gain the business of the people they are hoping to sell this to.
However, I do agree that they will fail, and part of the reason is that they picked the wrong example channel and first public user.

14. I get that

and like you say, it is a demo. And yes, now they will be scaring off all those who would not want to be associated with her using the same company. They are shooting themselves in the foot. She is probably getting paid by them, and that money is going to waste.
In the end they probably won't have enough channels to sustain them.

Do we know who is behind this anyway?

[Hayabusa]

13. Hey, the WWE Network is awesome.
