Stephen Colbert, Doomsday Preppers, Prepping to shoot neighbors

My favorite show!  Ever since Rupert Murdoch bought the National Geographic channels, crazy crap has replaced science on them. Though I do get mixed up on where the crazy crap is coming from. Whether it be from the History Channels, the NG channels or the Animal Channel, one thing is sure, the money is in stupid.

"Finding Bigfoot" was my favorite for awhile. Who could not enjoy several weekend woodsman wandering in the woods at night in the camera’s green light when a sound is heard and the camera jiggles and jogs to the star of the show who officially proclaims, "That’s a Squatch!"  Then to a scene of a town meeting held in Sleepy Hollars all over America who are asked if they have ever seen a "Squatch". All 25 in the room raise their hands with a few telling their horrifying story. Getting on TV has never been so easy for so many morons.

Doomsday Preppers takes the cake though – pound cake in cans. These are not just stupid people, these are very stupid people with arsenals of weapons all oiled up and loaded to shoot (or in some cases slit the throats of) their neighbors. And unlike Bigfoot, ghosts, UFOs and ancient astronauts they force their children into their paranoid world of dry food, guns and killing the family next door.  

Please suffer through one half hour episode. Just the other night one woman rattled off not only which guns she bought her husband on his birthdays, but at least 15 different kinds of guns she owned herself. All hopefully to be used on their neighbors.

These dangerous nutjobs are supported by three main players; Glenn Beck, Ted Nugent and Michael Reagan. Just like Rush Limbaugh’s popularity is based upon making a wholes feel good about themselves, so The talk radio 3 Stooges of Doom make stupid people feel good about themselves.

These shows are much like the Jerry Springer Show. A good representation of stupidity going beyond the pale not only makes the stupid feel included, but makes the rest of us feel like Stephen Hawkings.
