Greeting fellow Kossacks! I hope this Monday finds you all in good spirits. While taking a quick break from work-related duties, I came across a Sarah Palin post that I just had to share with you.
Please, let the snark begin!
I have to admit, I love a good #PalinFail as much as the next guy and the following is just to lol-worthy not to share with you.
From my good friends comes this wonderful story complete with bonus Telly-Tubbie pic...
Last night on The Young Turks we broke the story of reaction to Sarah Palin's new show inside Discovery. We have an inside source at Discovery Communications and we've been leaked information on Sarah Palin's show for Discovery's TLC network.
Our source says "the whole thing [was] comical." Apparently the ad buyers were not impressed. This Discovery insider said, "When the promo was over, people (employees and buyers) were rolling their eyes, snickering, and even laughing. People were laughing and it's not even a comedy. No one took it seriously."
Remember Discovery is paying Sarah Palin $250,000 an episode for this series. There are eight episodes, so she will be clearing $2 million for this possible disaster (TLC will be spending between $800,000 to $1.2 million per episode for the whole production). The ratings for her new show on Fox News Channel were already low (she couldn't even hold on to Greta Van Susteren's audience). Imagine how much worse she'll do on TLC where the audience presumably wants to learn something, i.e. the exact opposite of what Sarah Palin is known for. What's next for TLC, George Bush's Ranch?
To get you started, I'm including a few of the best comments, but please do add your own special snark if you have the time/energy.
I cannot stand this woman, everything about her just seems very fake and ignorant to me, and I am a Republican.
So pissed Discovery would let [her] have a show. For one thing, she talks about drilling holes and basically doesn't give a shit about the Earth or environmental issues, yet Discovery, a company that prides itself in having a good environmental record and even hosting a channel called Planet Green which is all about the environment and helping the earth.
Imagine how much worse she'll do on TLC where the audience presumably wants to learn something...
It's like getting Jeffrey Dahmer to host a cooking show for the Food Network
And remember, please comment/rate it, even if you hate it!
