Nonprofit = parasite.
Tell him to clean up the urine-laden streets of San Fran first.
Cheers!
public condemnation by his own wife, who on her blog urged him to get professional help.
Wonder how he treats her?
Stupid show never should have been on in the first place, just another sign of the deterioration of our culture.
>> Fowler, an environmental entrepreneur who develops biofuels
Yawn.
Big deal. I’m a *redneck* who develops biofuels.
I have a new batch coming on line right now — several MCF of unnatural gas. Had Mexican food last night, you see.
Folks, this is a reality show. Which means it is heavily scripted, rehearsed, and the “ordinary people and situations” are contrived to gin up ratings. I’m certainly not defending this snotty Brit, but in the article it does state he was told to ham it up for the cameras.
If you want to blame anyone, blame the producers of tripe like this. Then blame yourself for watching it.
Fixed.
The gist of his apology: “I’m sorry you all had a chance to see me as I really am-and I’m even sorrier that my actions had unforseen consequences”
Maybe he can try again- go back to Merry Old England and move in with the wife of a Yemeni suicide bomber, or a Jamaican gang member-you know the kind of people culturally enriching his own country.
Fowler makes as much in a week as the Longs do in a year by “developing biofuels”. In other words, Fowler makes a very good living figuring out ways to scam the government out of subsidy money. Meanwhile, the rural family, which one might suppose would be the intended beneficiary of the subsidy, struggles along.
This is how it is with all well-intended government programs. They are supposed to help folks like the Longs, but the wind up sending Millions of dollars to jerks like Fowler, who do nothing all day but figure out how to game the system.
Absolutely agree. In a 75 year lifespan there are ~657,000 hours, total. Most of us who are working have at best 3-6 hours a day that aren't spoken for by required activities (at best). Why in the world would you use that time to watch reality show ‘tripe’, as you put it. (yes, I know I am using some of that precious time on freerepublic, but at least it's informative and can be productive).
LMAO!!!
“He” said he was told to ham it up. If that was acting he would have a dozen Oscars. You can’t act that well. He was for real. We saw the show and he was the most disgusting, foul, snobbish foreigner there ever was. Mr. G commented at the time that people might physically attack him. The guy was/is a appalling. How the wife puts up with him is beyond me. She runs a weight loss counseling business and all the husband did was put down the other wife for being over weight. I wouldn’t surprise me if his comments cause the business to go under. Words can not describe the disgust I feel for that slime.
The real slime are the people who even came up with the idea for this show, and the network execs that thought it would be a good idea.
Agreed. Sever the tentacles of the beast (TV) and live happier, more productive lives.
“...all well-intended government programs. They are supposed to help folks like the Longs, but the wind up sending Millions of dollars to jerks like Fowler, who do nothing all day but figure out how to game the system.”
A succinct description of BO’s Porkulus Bill.
Does anyone remember the reality show that sought to recreate colonial America? A group of people built a community on the east coast and followed an idea of what it would have been like in the early 1600s.
The man who was elected religous leader was a liberal religion professor from San Francisco. The man who was elected mayor was a conservative Baptist preacher from Texas. The liberal man admitted that he was predisposed to not like the mayor because of his politics in real life. Then ironically the liberal was pretty nasty to a man who came out as gay, when one would have thought he would have been more supportive. More hypocrisy.
Part One (5 minutes) He constantly berates the woman, knocks the US, completely mocks the midwest, and uses his paycheck as an excuse to for his behavior.
Part 2 He cuts down the military, mocks the wife further (calling her "obese" "under educated" "low class" "unintelligent"), and flips the husband and wife the bird.
This guy is a HUGE dumbass, but his wife is no prize either.
The notoriety will not hurt him one bit in the long run. He’ll go on Oprah, Ellen, the View, etc. Then he will write a book, do a few game shows, and then he and his wife will have their own reality show. He will make a fortune. Hey, it works for Gordon Ramsey, Simon Cowell, and those poncey fashion critics on innummerable cable shows.
