Stars earn Stripes TV show

[tmleadr03]

Not a bad show, little too much on the "Oh military guys are so awesome, I love them soo much".

What struck me most was when Eve Torres got assigned to Grady Powell, the look on his face was "Hell yeah, I am totally going to tap that!". I fell out of my seat laughing.

I didn't have much use for the show when I saw the promos during the Olympics, it just looked like more (un)reality BS but I'm much more interested in it now that all the libs are up in arms protesting it.

Watched 10 minutes of it and decided I would rather watch reruns of American Guns. Ya, it was that bad.

You can't really say it much better than Ranger.

NBC's Stars Earn Stripes under assault from Nobel Peace Prize winners

CHICAGO, August 15, 2012— Once again freedom of expression is under assault. This time it is from powerful voices and influential people. The latest target is NBC’s reality show “Stars Earn Stripes.” The show pairs celebrities with former military personnel to accomplish military style missions.

The laureates endorsed a letter (http://fox2now.com/2012/08/15/nobel-peace-prize-winners-protest-nbcs-stars-earn-stripes/) to NBC complaining that the “program pays homage to no one anywhere and continues and expands on an inglorious tradition of glorifying war and armed violence. Military training is not to be compared, subtly or otherwise, with athletic competition by showing commercials throughout the Olympics. Preparing for war is neither amusing nor entertaining."

100% correct. But it is necessary and all voluntary.

Colbert's an idiot. I'm definitely going to take time to watch it for a bit if he hates it.

"Dude if you're going on a national television show to compete in simulated amphibious assaults on a reality show, you have GOT TO LEARN HOW TO MOTHERFUCKING SWIM BEFOREHAND. Especially if you're a black dude. You don't want to get on TV enforcing negative racial stereotypes." [ROFL2]

It is staggering to me how much truth is in what they say. I love it. Probably my favorite YouTube series. Glad you liked it Mike! The ones with AFT Marine are seriously hilarious. For example:

Not to enforce any stereotypes but when I went through boot camp all of the black guys barely qualified during the swimming portion. And no less then 5 of them did their best to drown. I was not wearing my shocked face during the show.

ETA: the really funny part about boot camp was a few of those guys were serious PT studs. 300 PFT score walking into boot camp. Sunk like a rock.

That's okay because white people do a lot of dumb stuff:

i only made it 2 minutes, and I thought it was gay even worse then american guns.

Colbert's a genius. His Congressional testimony showed the elected officials just how poorly we regard their dignity.

“I am to happy to use my celebrity to draw attention to this important, complicated issue. I certainly hope that my star power can bump this hearing all the way up to C-SPAN 1.”

“As we’ve heard this morning, America’s farms are presently far too dependent on immigrant labor to pick our fruits and vegetables. Now, the obvious answer is for all of us to stop eating fruits and vegetables. And, if you look at the recent obesity statistics, you’ll see that many Americans have already started. Unfortunately, my gastroenterologist, Dr. Eichler, has informed me, in no uncertain terms, that they are a necessary source of roughage. As evidence, I would like to submit a video of my colonoscopy into the congressional record.”

“We all know there is a long tradition of great nations importing foreign workers to do their farm work. After all, it was the ancient Israelites who built the first food pyramids.”

“This is America. I don’t want a tomato picked by a Mexican. I want it picked by an American, then sliced by a Guatemalan and served by a Venezuelan in spa where a Chilean gives me a Brazilian.”

“My grandfather did not travel across 4,000 miles of the Atlantic Ocean to see this country overrun by immigrants. He did it because he killed a man back in Ireland.”

“I participated in the UFW’s Take Our Jobs campaign, one of only 16 people in America to take up the challenge. Though that number may increase in the near future, as I understand many Democrats may be looking for work come November.”

“When you’re picking beans, you have to spend all day bending over. It turns out, and I did not know this, most soil is at ground level. If we can put a man on the moon, why can’t we make the earth waist high? Come on, where is the funding?”

“Normally, I would leave this to the invisible hand of the market. But the invisible hand of the market has already moved over 84,000 acres of production and over 22,000 farm jobs to Mexico and shut down over a million acres of U.S. farmland due to lack of available labor — because apparently, even the invisible hand doesn’t want to pick beans.”

“I’m not a fan of the government doing anything. But I’ve got to ask: Why isn’t the government doing anything? Maybe this Add Jobs Bill would help. I don’t know. Like most members of Congress, I haven’t read it.”

“Maybe the easier answer is just to have scientists develop vegetables that can pick themselves. The genetic engineers over at Fruit of the Loom have made great strides in human-fruit hybrids.”

Yeah, pure satire... and really not that funny either.
