So, bread and circuses are what you ^require^. Sad.


I think you read something between the lines that wasn’t there. For starters, I consider it to be bread and circuses. Instead of sitting on my butt watching people live lives, I go do the very things they are doing. If I want to watch something entertaining, it’s gonna be adventure. And as Louis L’Amoure points out. It is not healthy or fun to LIVE adventures, but it is exciting to read about them.

I drove through a mild tornado Saturday night. It was a rush and scary as he!!. I’d rather watch it on TV. But Duck Dynasty? Maybe if they had professional actors and script writers with some harrowing adventures I’d want to watch. But that’s missing.

Again, nothing against the show. It’s just that I’d rather DO the things they are doing than watch them do it. Actually I respect that they can get advertisers to pay them money to basically live their lives with a few contrived events and scripts. It’s just not my cup of tea.

For the FReepers who actually have watched more that 15 minutes of DD, what you wrote is genuinely funny. You really are limiting your education.

Not all the things they do. Part of the show is often living with the consequences of making poor choices. And placing God and family above the personal preference.

You could be right.

Do you ever get nosebleeds up there on that high horse?
