Great New Yorker cartoon a while back: Family of three at dinner with boy texting on his phone; father to boy, “Hey! No elbows on the table!”
“TLC Schedules More Duggar Specials.”
DAD: “Oh, bloody hell.”
[Fwump, splat, waaah!]
MOM: “Ohhh, get that, would you, Deirdre?”
DIERDRE: “All right, Mum.”
Grifters are gonna grift, and I don’t just mean the Duggars.
Hey! We have the same problem – from time to time, this system tells me that my own body is invalid! Very rude system.
Well the Duggar girls hubbies married them in the expectation that TLC money was going to be flowing…soooo girls you need to do a few tricks…
Back then The Learning Channel was more likely to air an investigation of the Duggars’ church rather than pimp their propaganda.
You’ve touched a nerve. There could be an entire thread devoted to the rude and unthinking behavior of phone bots and it would get lots of hits. as for younger kids using them, it’s become the new babysitter. Don’t ask me about the phone bots who stop in the middle of the aisle at Starbucks which seems to be their mother ship to check something. I no longer walk around them.
What does TLC stand for again? They ought to be sued for false advertising. Definitely nothing to learn here.
…and actually aired shows featruing arts and entertainment !!
And The History Channel had shows about history.
And don’t get me started on MTV…
That is one bit of TV I refuse to watch
I confess that I have never watched a reality TV program. If it weren’t for Joel McHale showing clips of them and making fun of them on The Soup, I would not realize what garbage passes for entertainment. And why are the trashy scandal magazines at checkouts in markets? They are a sign of the stupidity of Americans. Foreigners visiting this country would be correct in thinking Americans are uneducated and like to be.
They’re just following the Trump model of making America Grift Again.
If you look at the menu of “reality” programming on the Touching Little Children network you will see that a lot of it leans heavily in the Christian column and obviously the guy that owns the Touching Little Children network thinks that is a good thing. His cash cow (sorry Mrs. Duggar) is putting out sour milk but he wants to package it and call it frozen yogurt.
Frankly anyone who wants to align themselves with child molesters should be shamed and humiliated and find their business losing tons of money.
The worst kind of corporate media ethics. Tell me again, What Liberal Media?
Shorter Duggar Sisters: What happened to us isn’t so bad and if we raise our kids just like our Mother raised us, we, too, can have our very own little Joshs’s.
Insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different results.
TLC keeps sinking lower and lower
TLC is merely going back to its roots. It was founded in 1972 as Appalachian Community Service Network. Sort of all makes sense now, huh?
No, it is owned by the same asshole that owns Faux Snews Channel
How many are going to record it, and then fact check EVERYTHING they say? I don’t have cable anymore, so I can’t.
