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.
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.
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.
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.
Wife Swap is a show we have never watched, it is also a show we will never watch. Fowler, an elistist jerk, represents much of what is wrong with this country.
Another liberal trasplant showing his true colors. This city is full of the same type of jerks as this guy, I don't need to watch TV to see it I just have to walk outside my front door. Most of the whiny, self-rightous snobs who make up the "liberal elite" of this city are not native San Franciscans. Not that I have anything against people who relocate - my best friend is originally from Philly - but the majority of people I meet who move here are cut from the same cloth and I wouldn't use that cloth to wipe my butt.
So this guy behaves like a complete boor and horse's ass on TV and the Chronicle doesn't report it for two weeks. And then, when it does report it, the Chronicle....you guessed it....defends the guy. Just hamming up, that's all. Nothing to see here...move along. To me, this guy represents what I call the "Entitlement Class". He is a limey, over here in the U.S. living of the fat of the land, and benefitting from the U.S. government (more on that in a moment). Yet, he has the arrogance to criticize the very country and system that are making him enormously wealthy. Being a venture capitalist, most of his income is in the form of carried interest, i.e. a share of the investment gains from the companies his VC firm invests in. Amazingly, these gains are taxed at capital gains rates, not ordinary income rates. So, while the rest of us poor bastards have to pay 35% taxes on our income, this guy is paying something like 15%. If that's not a handout, I don't know what is.
We have become a nation of voyeurs who enjoy peeking through the window at the lives of others.
What a waste of good time.
Why watch someone make a jerk out of themselves when you can go outside and make a jerk of yourself, film it and send it in to “America’s Funniest Videos?”
Seriously folks, how many FReepers have read or are reading The Federalist Papers? http://www.americanaphonic.com And when was the last time you read The Constitution & Bill o’ Rights?
Tree hugging D-Bag.
