Bristol Palin will be a contestant on "Dancing With the Stars"
I don't watch the show except for five minutes here or there when I'm channel surfing.

But my god. Really? Bristol Palin?

:eyes:

1. I would like to apologize to Paris Hilton
for considering her the most pointless waste of public attention. Now she is the second most pointless waste of public attention.

3. And you just know you-know-who's going to be showing up every now and then.
One more reason why I've never been more thankful to have recently purchased a Wii and got access to Netflix streaming.

4. So?
I honestly fail to see why we get so worked up about every little thing this family does and says.

This level of obsession tells more about us than it does the Palindromes.

5. Sounds odd
Why would she get picked for the show? Can we all say that is was due to her mothers Connections :crazy:

11. I saw her on Leno or Letterman last week. (I forget which.)
IIRC, she said that one day they texted her and asked her to be on the show. No shit, texted her.

6. Why not Bristol? They dredge up the worst losers for that show.
What I find funny is that she is already reported to be the most difficult contestant they have had. And from what I have heard of some of the people on that show, this should not be easy to do.

I guess that you can't take a Wassila yokel and make them a celebrity without consequences.

15. That's saying something. Apparently the Kate of formerly Jon and Kate plus 8
now solo as Kate plus 8 was a real doozy. They didn't even edit the comments from her partner
and they showed other contestants ignoring her.

7. They are grifters here to make money
They will rip every last dime out of the fifteen minutes a doddering old fool shamelessly granted them.
