3. OK I'll do it but I'll be lying
I'm not giving up Mythbusters for nobody..

Maybe I'll boycott their advertisers.

On the other hand if it's packaged as sort of a white trash reality show, full of the type of drama that accompanies everyday life for hillbillies like palin, it might be a hoot.

4. Nah, the more she is out there, the better.
More Rush, more Beck, more Palin. They're are killing the Republican party. Young people can't stand them.

5. Done
Our home life is book- activity-based, not television-based, so giving up Discovery Channel isn't that big a sacrifice for us.

My email:

Information needed: General Question or Comment
Program/Show: Other
Last Watched: unknown
Program Time: Primetime(6:00 pm - 2:00 am)
Comments: I understand that Discovery has to make certain compromises, resorting in some cases to lowest-common-denominator programming. But adding a reality program featuring Sarah Palin will bring a new level of low to "lowest common denominator." My family will cease to be Discovery Channel / Science Channel / Animal Planet viewers if you sink to this level.

7. No way. Better to have Palin on TV and out of politics.
Don't underestimate the power of a mob, or a mob leader.

Stalin was a failed poet, Hitler was a failed artist, Palin is a failed sportscaster, and the first two were subjects of ridicule, seen as buffoons -- Stalin was shy about public speaking for fear of giving away his "hillbilly" Georgian (equivalent of Alaskan) accent.

Don't underestimate the Golden Opportunity that the Discovery Channel is offering.

14. Just for clarification. The show is not about getting inside the mind
of a sociopath right?

11. I did, and told them I am no longer watching their channel, until
Edited on Wed Mar-24-10 09:12 PM by DeschutesRiver
they state publically that they have ended their reality show deal with a domestic terrorist who is inciting violence against members of congress.

I have never forgiven Sarah Palin for her attempts at inciting violence against the Obama family during the election. She is trying to be the catalyst for the death of her political opponents. We aren't some stinking third world dictatorship, and I have no intention of letting that woman off the hook or supporting her in trying to get an overthrow of my government accomplished.

She needs to go back and incite some rioting up in Alaska with her sucessionist husband and former party. Leave the lower 48 alone, Palin. You aren't welcome in civilized society.
