The way I see it is that it's just entertainment. It does have bikes, and somewhat of the biker lifestyle. But there is no way that some of the real life senarios come into play because there would be too many ramifications come about. I mean look at the show Moonshiners, that crap is illegal but yet you are treking thru the woods with a camera crew saying " If we get caught, it's jail time." Gimme a break, it ain't happenin.
I like the show Chicago Fire. But I am a Captian on our local fire dept. It ain't quite like that. Most of the structures, burning, that I go into, you can't see s#%t let alone have a camera filming.That being said, if you watch with an open mind, then it is good viewing.
Hey, is there spell checker on here cause I sure could use it?
You guys are too critical. It's bikes and bikers...I think any show on this subject would be controversial and highly criticized. Enjoy it for what it is. They have to do goofy fake **** to make it "entertaining" and keep it "legal". Otherwise you guys would say it is boring or the police would shut it down.
I laughed my *** off when the VP showed up at the bike drags in his Cadillac. What a joke. We never did get to see Sandman put anyone to sleep. Although I was surprised Rusty from 81 appeared on there.
Look, when a show like Honey Boo Boo attracted almost 3 million viewers and score a 1.3 rating with those 1849, the highest rating that night with the age group of any cable program. AND TLC has picked the show up for another season at a reported $50,000 per episode, with specials planned for Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. I mean, who can resist this;
and this;
So, my answer to your question is a resounding YES, we have sunk that low.
Now to sit back and wait for someone to post what a wonderfully wholesome show it is and that their entire family gathers around the television to enjoy those crazy Thompsons and their zany antics.
edit: Yes, I realize that there's not enuff kids in the picture above. I'll try harder next time.
yup. Lots of bad crap on TV.
IMO, the Laffing douchebags aren't even close to the worst thing on the tube.
