One poster on Stormfront noted that the new "Survivor" format might "double or triple [CBS's] ratings"

That pretty much sums it up.

GM & Proctor/Gamble already backed out, I expect most of the other sponsors to do the same.

You can always count on the stormfront girls for a laugh.

Stirring up the haters again.

Where are the gays?

[MineralMan]

Stormfront, eh? Lousy racist cretins. Anything Stormfront members have to say, I'm automatically against.

[MineralMan]

I have a suggestion. Keep the format. Make one team a group of lardass Stormfronters and the other team a group of NFL football players. Make all the competitions physical ones.

Watch the sweat bead up on the Stormfronters foreheads as they try to lift a 50 lb. bag of sand. Buncha skinhead cretins!

[The format] plays into the hands of many people in this country who have racist feelings."

So that is their target audience? I thought inciting racial hatred is a bit frowned upon.

This is only ONE race, the human one. Idiots. These groups portray people of European descent worse than this show probably will.

In the gym 3 days ago of all things I found was a copy of the SPLC's "Intelligence Report".

Paging through it, it paints a picture of the US as full of nazis.

Just about every page has a scary picture of someone snapping off "Sieg Heil" salutes, or spoiling for a fight on the Arizona border.

If you were an alien coming down to Earth, looking at that magazine you'd be completely amazed that the US is fighting a war against muzzies instead of against Israel.

I have been a survivor fan for many years, but I don't like the idea of this one.

I do have a suggestion for another survivor. I would pick members of the military. You could have 4 teams: army, navy, air force, marines. I would love that show.

I know this has already been posted somewhere, but Scott Ott's version should be linked here.

What's with the singly the Asians out. Or is it true that some of these racists now consider Asians as honorary members?

Somewhat smart of them. Asia traditionally was and could be in the future the leader country over Europe, and as Europe wanes, these people can still cling onto their delusions as Asia waxes.

"It has lit up the white-supremacist world," said Mark Potok, director of the Intelligence Report at the SPLC. "It's been a fairly remarkable reaction. [The format] plays into the hands of many people in this country who have racist feelings."

Well, since black-supremacists now outnumber white-supremacists in America by about five to one, are you going to tell us about their reactions?

I didn't think so...

singly singling....

The show doesn't go far enough. They should have one tribe of white Klansmen, one tribe of Al Qaeda terrorists, one tribe of ninja warriors, one tribe of Mexican drug runners and one tribe of inner-city black gang members. Mix in a surpise visit by a real tribe of islander headhunters.

Forgo the stupid little games for tribal supremacy and tell them only one tribe gets off the island alive. No matter who loses, we all win.

While racists from all people groups are disgusting, your ratio of 5:1 seems to be more than a little hyperbolic, if for reasons of demographics alone (there are many, many more Americans of European descent than of African descent). Don't act as though racism can only happen to those of European extraction.

[Jedi Master Pikachu]

What's wrong with ninjas (they're simply martial artists). How about the jukooza (gaijin, do you know how to spell it properly?), the Japanese mafia.

[Tall_Texan]

That'll work.
