Better film it in England.

And keep the identity of everyone evolved a closely held secret.

There is so much competition for Stupidest Human Alive... but Kerry should always be able to place in the Top Five, without really even trying.

Nobody will watch the series but it will never be canceled because the US Government is funding its broadcast.

What a great gig for a nobody talentless actor.

What an idiotic fool.

Reminds me of the US Dept of Interior Rep who visited a farmer and told him he had to inspect his property and needed to go out into a field in front of his house.

The farmer said “You can’t do that”.

The govt rep pulled out of his briefcase a letter and told the farmer “These papers say I have the authority to be here.”

He then went into the field and began doing a survey when out of the corner of his eye he say a bull come charging toward him.

In flight and fright, he began running and called out to the farmer and cried “Help me!”

The farmer yelled back “Show him your papers!”

I have stuck Kerry’s mug on the face of the govt rep whenever I think about it.

History shows the Barbarians are not mollified by bread & circuses ... they do, in fact, intend to loot, rape, burn, and kill because that’s just what they do.
