I know now why we get the entertainment and politicians that we have – it’s what we deserve. Sometimes the two are irrevocably mixed together – it’s what we’re stuck with. Sarah Palin’s Alaska has shattered ratings expectations.
Although I don’t know who they expected to watch the show to begin with – other than people in Alaska. Which would cut back on viewership considerably – they’re all out hunting bears, cooking meth, or bemoaning the fortune they’ve had, being thrust in the national spotlight by a team of rednecks that rival the Beverly Hillbillies. That’s an apt comparison actually – considering that Bristol is out in LA pretty much all the time to dance with other stars – the Palins are the Beverly Hillbillies. Sarah Palin’s Alaska premiered to five million viewers, overall higher than most of the episodes Community has aired. People would rather watch Sarah Palin than Dan Harmon’s brilliant writing, and that makes me immeasurably sad.
In addition, Willow Palin caught some flack earlier this week for writing on one of her classmate’s walls who trashed Sarah Palin’s Alaska – calling him a faggot and other people fat. Bristol Palin even joined the fray.
Jesus Christ, give these people as much time on television as possible, so we don’t have to deal with them in the White House.
