Interesting Article on Insidiousness of US Gameshows

submitted by Richard_Parker from (self.debatealtright)

Interesting read, although it does not go nearly far enough...

https://nypost.com/article/history-of-game-show-scandals/

You can put dum-dum US game shows right up there with rap music, coca-cola, McDonald's and a hundred other things on why I am not proud to be an American, but in fact quite ashamed.

This article offers a nice refresher on what sleazeball Barker is. I doubt a beauty like Dian Parkinson would suck his dick absent coercion.

This is the "freedom" we are told so many American lives have died (or otherwise suffered horrific casualties to defend).

I confess I turn on Price is Right now and then just to gawk at Rachel Reynolds, although her beauty is waning, as all those tans are starting to have an adverse affect, as the fake artificial teeth whitening looks beyond ridiculous. After I get my fill I turn it off and go back to my day.

Everytime I watch it and see these idiot American contestants flapping around their arms with a gaping half-assed smile on their face, I reflect on how estranged I am from this country, a nation of idiots. On more than one occasion I wondered, just a little bit, what it would be like if I could resurrect the ghosts of the Wehrmacht, or else watch with a veteran who served in the Wehrmacht or the Waffen SS. This fancy has not yet become a fantasy, but my thoughts are particularly lurid, so that I can almost visualize it.

Of course they bring up the 'quiz show scandal'. That was a Jewish wet dream come to life. Too good to be true actually I probably need to red pill myself about it. Corrupt blue blood WASP who needs to cheat to keep down the plucky and unfashionable jew who is actually his superior? It's basically the theme of the caddyshack film without the golf. Take that WASPY were in your country club now and we've got rude jokes, catholic sidekicks and we don't care about your damn rules! So funny.

These scandals are minor compared to Jimmy Savile and his 'Jim Will Fix It' show. What could go wrong with a serial pederast and necrophiliac with connections in high places hosts a show where he gives desperate kids the chance to dance with their favourite pop star or Gary glitter?

I was reading the other day about an Australian kid who is one of Michael Jackson's accusers in Australia. I don't really believe much when it comes to Jackson but turns out that kid too was basically a regular on our early morning cartoon shows and essentially being groomed through them.

Not enough, if you're still able to watch television shows. But really, it's not possible to criticize enough what passes for society and culture in the US.

Not regularly. I watch Packers games and when home I tune in to Price is Right to see what Rachel Reynolds is wearing a then I turn it off. Sometimes I take note of how everyone acts with both insncerity and idiocy.

I do dig Rachel Reynolds though, and lament she is so wildly out of my league and how most women built like that in this country probably have little in common with me. Pretty sure she did not listen of the Cure or Joy Division when she was 14.

Rachel Reynolds

While her physical features are not unattractive, my guess is that you're lucky to not "be in her league." Being in her league by itself wouldn't be bad. More being in her league and subject to her exploitation would be the downside.

I think she would be much more attractive without the all American beach babe thing, especially now that she is pushing 40. The tanning is starting to damage her skin. Her gestalt goes agaisnt other aspects of my personage. Carice van Houten, Constance Rudert, or even Gillian Anderson have that European look and style that I prefer. Even so, RR is (or was) really something. As far as I can tell her curves are all natural, at least until recently.

Fair play Gillian Anderson was perfection during the X-Files days. I love that episode where the writer becomes obsessed with her. I could relate.

Oh yes she was. I had a mild obsession for her around the turn of the millennium. It is a pretty stupid show though.

Mass media was such a rapid development that most people failed to grasp their revolutionary and corrosive influence. Without mass media, the Jews could never have spread the cultural poison they did. And even without Jews, the very nature of capitalism leads the entrepreneur to appeal to the most base instincts of man in order to lure him in.

Oh she knows. RR is not a threat.

I watched Match Game back in 1977.
