Orange County Choppers hit a new low.

I blame this whole Reality TV business on Marlin Perkins... He started this shit back in the 60's with Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom.

Same formula is used today... create bullshit concocted story lines and film it staring dumb animals... today they just substituted a different species... stupid humans.

Some friends and I totally did a spoof on that show. Marlin never did shit. Jim did all the work. So we had Marlin telling Jim to get him another drink and then he would narrate the show and then say Jim I'm horny, I want to fuck you up the ass. It turned out pretty damn funny. We taped it and played it for people and they would just be rolling. Basically Marlin was the lazy, abusive boss and Jim was the total slave gimp who got abused in all sorts of amazing ways. Then poor Jim would have to protect Marlin from pissed off natives.

That's just it: You have no idea what you are seeing, as the entire thing is a giant case of manipulation in order to sell advertising, which is pretty much what television has been since it was invented. The selling point is drama, be it real or imagined. Who knows HOW Jr. mourned his grandma? More specifically, who's fucking business is it in the first place? Think about this for a minute: Paul Senior stands in his kitchen, bitching at his wife as a film crew rolled tape. Nothing he said was implied by video evidence in the episode, yet viewers are to believe what he claims took place? Seriously, if a local news team filmed a reporter standing at the beach, pointing at the water and claiming a ship just sank or a UFO flew over ten minutes previously, wouldn't you at least want to see some actual footage backing it up, rather than have the reporter pull whatever out of his ass?

I guess the only way to resolve this is to continue watching.

That is some clear thought there Chef.

More than likely Jr went to his wife/lawyers/... and asked if, "The Money" looked right as per her instruction, for showing up at grandma's funeral.

And if my reading is correct why didn't Mikey, "The Artist" go to the funeral..?Paris Hilton has more skills than Mike, dude takes a couple hundred thou and opens art shop where he throws monkey shit colored paint at a piece of notebook paper slams that on the wall with a price tag on it. Does Mikes feeling about her also come from wherever his brothers lawsuit and head is at..whatta CUNT!

I still say Sr. is the only reason anyone cares about OCC or the Tutles.

I believe Sr is on TV, thru this economy to keep his dreams alive as far as OCC and that is probably the only reason he is on Apprentice, the money.

I believe JR doesn't go to his shop and build a goddamn thing unless the TV show is schedualed to shoot a episode.

I still contest it was done for ratings!

This reality shit goes to the lowest of low and having the odacity to call it real when it's scripted. Now it's a soap opera and then linking other lame shows up with it.

I have a close friend who went to to dinner a few times several years ago with Sr and Jr in Myrtle Beach at Bike Week. He told me when they were having a few drinks together Sr and Jr were laughing about the fake arguments they had on the show.
